<p>me and who? :neocat_bottom:</p>
@swaggboi@fedi.seriousbusiness.international hold on i gotta get out my hitachi for this
<p>(I did this a decade ago on twitter, I said something real and relevant and respect-worthy about programming languages I personally don't enjoy because it's not even hard to find good things and it's also not THAT hard to accept that there are ugly warts on your precious favorite ;)</p>
<p>If a photo of an internal engineering prototype DRAM appears on the Web, is it a memory leak?</p>
<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@sushee" class="u-url mention">@<span>sushee</span></a></span> fixing important infra libs still leaves us with the xkcd-meme of one small thingy propping everything up. While I agree we need to fix these libs and carry some of the maintainers burden, I wonder: wouldn't it be better to circulate well-written, detailed design documents and diversify the implementations?</p><p>The reason everyone is stuck with Xz is because there's no other lib, say, kz, that could function as a drop-in replacement. And (to my knowledge) no easy way to make one.</p>
@rin @lain@lain.com gruzian wine is great too
<p>if I hear one more time shit "x is objectively better than y" instead of "ah look if you turn this knob here it'll be 10% faster" or "hey if you re-arrange this bit you can throw out 100 lines here" or "man we should really get some of the usability of z into our project" or "such a cool feature in b - let's add that here as well" and "maybe we should really simplify this this was not such a good idea" so. many. ways. to collaborate, to improve shit together, for everyone, to respect each other</p>
@lain@lain.com khachapuri though..
