I'm not critiquing your opinion, but could you please elaborate? I don't know Rust, but I just had a conversation on why I think it might have a niche in the enterprise.

The exact same thing happened to me. I re-read The Gunslinger a decade after my first read, and somehow found it even worse. For a long time I refused to read King, but I've since …

I've built several production quality, mid-sized apps in Phoenix/Elixir over the last year using Claude Code (CC). In my experience, it's great, I had better results with this stac…

We got pretty far without a single hallucinated citation (because they simply didn't exist). It's really simple: check your references, or don't bother of publishing. It's not a hi…

I can't believe this is such a controversial take. Solving hard things by yourself is growth. I 100% agree, rather solve a hard solved problem yourself than learning yet another JS…

This is great. Really good work. This looks really useful, and I think you did a great job on the interface and site in general. I hope you aren't discouraged by the other commente…
