<p>"Throughout the history of software development, employers have consistently preferred to fund tools that deskill and attempt to abstract expertise away over tools that genuinely improve productivity and the quality of the output, but also happen to require expertise and skill.</p><p>This has worked so far because the software industry is usually flooded with money."</p><p>- Catching up with <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://toot.cafe/@baldur" class="u-url mention">@<span>baldur</span></a></span>'s essay from earlier this year: *"React, Electron, and LLMs have a common purpose: the labour arbitrage theory of dev tool popularity"*</p><p><a href="https://www.baldurbjarnason.com/2024/react-electron-llms-labour-arbitrage/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">baldurbjarnason.com/2024/react</span><span class="invisible">-electron-llms-labour-arbitrage/</span></a></p>

In fact our voices are so similar even he can’t tell the difference. </p><p>Once he left a voicemail for our mother to come pick him up and then got home in his own. When he listened to the message he was confused why I called and asked to be picked up as I was living in a different country at the time. 🤷🏻♂️🤣</p>

Someone in fake eyelashes and a sports bra has built some amazing shit and you probably want to wear safety gear if you get an invite.</p>

I think Rust's variance is confusing in that</p><p>- Variance is already confusing by itself<br />- Suddenly people need to learn about subtyping relationship in a language without inheritance<br />- It's totally implicit, inferred, and no sign of its existence until you bump into a compilation error, where people don't know how to solve</p><p>We can't get rid of variance itself, but maybe the last point can be addressed.</p>
