Culture wars are sadly one of the biggest inhibitors of progress throughout all of technology.
It seems to hinge a lot on what is “culture”.

#72This is the only statement I disagree with: > PowerShell gets a lot right with structured data. CLI programs should operate on text. If you want to parse and format it, do so, but the default output mode should be plain text, so that I can pipe it into grep or awk without a second thought. I am continuously irritated that the AWS CLI defaults to outputting in JSON. No one (I hope…) is using that tool in programs; tha…
I always hated powershell for the same reason, and then I read a really long retro by the guy who ran the project and it makes sense now. Basically Unix has a long tradition of "everything is a file" and a big ecosystem of coreutils that are based around text and windows.. didn't. You can't look at /dev or /etc and learn anything about the machine. They had a few generations of APIs and wanted to give admins and powe…
Ooo... Any chance you remember where you read that? I'd love a reference to check it out. Sounds interesting!

> I remember watching HN and seeing every time there was something Rust related trending, there was ALWAYS a post made shortly after trying to hype Zig and this went on for like 4 years. You just got a tiny taste of what Rust enthusiasts have been doing to every C++ related submission here on HN for years.
The entire concept of publicity as a competition is baffling to me. Who gives a shit?
More Rust users = more Rust libraries = more Rust jobs = more places to do what you enjoy and get paid for it.

If people would just take the time to actually learn and appreciate the Analytical Engine they could bypass _all_ that noise...

#76I accidentally spent last week living in libghostty without knowing it. I was using rootshell, an iOS terminal app built on it. It fixed all my Claude Code scrolling and session problems on iPad. It's the first tmux experience that's felt like a native shell to me. Totally awesome.

You have an awful low bar for what is considered chiding, damn Then again, your very username implies an indulgence in viewing technology through the lens of fandoms which is... weird

That seems like a train of thought so thin as to be anorexic. I think that many erm coding enthusiasts simply have issues with emotional regulation.

I write rust and barely interact with the community. I used to. I spoke at the first rustconf, even. I don't really care to engage with the rust community anymore (I cut myself off entirely from most online communities tbh). I might stay away from a particularly toxic community or one with wildly different values, but I don't really get why you wouldn't write Rust just because of how some people post about it. Odd tb…

Please stop spamming the same comment in multiple subthreads. Also it’s pretty clear you are applfanboysbgone and have created an alt account for this knowing what you are doing is against guidelines and are doing it anyway.
