If you ever do wish to go back, request Signal Cartel to rescue you. Rescuing people from wormholes is exactly what they do. I was with them for years.
Wait, EVE has a volunteer search-and-rescue group?

The Jehovah's Witnesses of programming
Can someone explain to my non-programmer self what the deal is with Rust? Even not being in the tech space, I have long picked up on this quasi-religous aura around it.

Does Claude claim a gender/pronouns now?

Does the game have performance issues? I don't see the need to rewrite unless there is a problem with it
> Does the game have performance issues? Yes, it has had huge concurrency issues for the entirety of its life. Their solution to large fights has historically been "let us know in advance pls", plus "move systems to beefier hw nodes" and "tidi" which stands for time dilation, where the "tick rate" of the whole server goes down and a fight takes 10-20-100x longer than it should. It's an amazing concept of a game, but…

This is why I had to quit. I enjoyed it way too much and would spend nearly all my free time playing it, much to the detriment of the rest of my (non-professional) life.
It was kind of a blessing for me that I was forced to quit after they introduced PLEX and in doing created a conversion rate for ISK to dollars. Suddenly I was too aware of how worthless everything I was doing was. It's one thing to spend an evening grinding to buy that new ship, it's another when you know you were grinding for 73 cents an hour. Risking losing a ship you spent a week earning the ISK for is thrilling…

No, you gotta tell Claude that you believe in them

It may be helpful to point out the definition of "Claude" as "lame; crippled" since the Roman Emperor and his gens.

limping, halting, lame, crippled
c. 347 CE – 420 CE, Hieronymus, Vulgate Matthew 11:5:
Caeci vident, claudi ambulant […] The blind see, the lame walk […]

Actually no, while it is predominantly a male name, it is also a woman name. Some examples of women named Claude: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claude_Pompidou https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claude_Bessy_(dancer) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claude_Sarraute https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claude_Jade

Can an experienced player gives us a summary of what's the "vibe" of the EVE online community these days? I was lightly involved ~15 years ago.
When python started incorporating asyncio my initial reaction was fairly negative. I was behaving like a grumpy graybeard programmer ("kids these days should learn how to use concurrency instead of working on a new runtime altogether!" [0]). But after using it for a production project I have to say I'm deeply satisfied and surprised by the maturity, quality of APIs and performance in general. I was proven wrong and I…
