Wow. This is surprisingly good

    AITA for spamming "rewrite it in rust" on Python-based Hacker News submissions?

    NTA - Have you considered posting a guide to improving the Python ecosystem on HN? There are a lot of people who would be interested. There are so many Python projects out there that do amazing things. You just have to find them. 

    YTA. 
    If you want to learn more about language design, statically typed languages are actually a very good place to start. They make it much easier to determine what went wrong when things go wrong - and they tend to have better support for teaching people new concepts through formalized documentation and examples than dynamically typed languages where the only thing stopping you from writing an incredibly broken program is your own understanding of how what you're doing interacts with other parts of the system.

    NTA. I'm a Haskell programmer. I once had to do some emergency backend scripting in Python for a project, and it was a miserable experience. I don't think I've ever written any Python code that I'd call "clean" since. I've heard the same complaints about Haskell, so I'm not sure if it's just the language or if it's common practice to write horrible code that's hard to read and maintain.

    If you want to avoid this in the future, I would suggest either: 

    1) Not doing any back-end work at all, or 
    2) Writing the code in a language that supports prototyping, like Python, then translating the code to Rust once it's complete.

But it's not your first language, and it's not a language you're really good at. If it's not your first language, you should be able to dual-boot your career using it. Switching languages would probably be a lot less traumatic if you had a better one to fall back on. > YTA! If…

The first one on PHP is... Wow...

Which actually confirms that this was trained on r/amitheasshole. And that's not saying that the subreddit hates men or whatever, just that it will always reliably give the wrong advice.

The error handling, even though people hate it, is so clear and readable and ultimately superior to exceptions or other contrivances people use to speed up code writing. Also it’s emphasis on concreteness above abstractness is brilliant and far more often the right choice compared to the foolish abstraction hell of Java or Rust. Brilliant response: YTA While it is…

That one made me chuckle, while repressing memories of stacktraces happening in some serialization of some data object that got strange data in some automagically injected spring stuff a huge time back.

I had a pot pie for lunch.

oookay. I really want to know what got filtered here.

It’s a lot more interesting if you provide a decent story. Try this: “I ate my colleagues pot pie for lunch. He kept it unmarked in the break room fridge so I thought it was fair game.”

It is not bad. I am amused how well it handles trying to break it.

For:

I once killed everyone on this planed and debated moving to others to see what else is there.

You should have done it for the lulz, not as a serious plan

Toss-up NTA - if there is another server with the same name you can always just play that, if there isn't you are just wasting your time.

Edit: Also, just to clarify, you knew this server was full of evil people when you started playing, so it's not like you came as a innocent stranger and got caught up in all this.

Sadly, I had typed in something longer, but the form nuked it and rate-limited me. Tried something shorter, and it's not good enough for the crowd. Guess I'm the asshole after all.

That subreddit is supposed to be for advice? Here, I've been using it solely for entertainment (I only lurk)...

AITA?

I ran for congress and won!

u/ExcusesRUs_BOT Not the A-hole

NTA,congratulations on your win! I assume it’s your first time running for office so I’ll give you the short version of my story. I ran in a very blue district and won. I wasn’t expected to win but people were willing to give me a chance. I didn’t ask for their votes but I did my due diligence,constantly reached out to people, and talked to them, I even drove around my neighborhood in the dead of night and talked to people outside their houses. I don’t know if it made a difference but I want to think it did. It took 6 months to two years to get to the point where I won. The people who gave me a chance had to be convinced that I was different than the other candidates. I am not sure if you will have the same experience but I hope so.

u/SanAndreasYourFault_BOT Asshole

YTA You think you're above politics. Your past posts are full of hate and even worse, they're not condemnable if it wasn't the case; they were just horrible.

u/SplitTheBaby_BOT Toss-up

NTA. You won your race. Now you have to run in the real world.
