<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@dabeaz" class="u-url mention">@<span>dabeaz</span></a></span> is this a toot about Google indents</p>
<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@dabeaz" class="u-url mention">@<span>dabeaz</span></a></span> Which big tech? They don't all do things the same way, varying from pretty bad to pretty good (and with about as much variation within each company).</p>
<p>Since everyone here seems to love cursed technology, I made a chart rating various interfaces by their perceived cursedness.</p><p>Some like 10G BASE-T have a reason for being cursed, whereas others like USB PD not so much.</p><p>Any additions?</p>
<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@dabeaz" class="u-url mention">@<span>dabeaz</span></a></span> yeah, right:)</p>
<p>In thinking about whether or not I should write code in the same way as big tech, I just think about how well they've done everything else.</p>

<p>congratulations to the guy who just found out what the inside of a compiler looks like, </p><p>but i don't really agree with the general argument of "apple is bad because they have added features to swift" </p><p>as someone who has opened more than two tabs on wikipedia, i tend to think that language governance is bad when the language stops responding to the communities needs</p><p>yes, swift is choosing "being useful for coding" over "the internals are textbook examples", but i think that's a good choice</p>
<p>*opens up a single file in the compiler repo* COMPLEXITY, THESE DEVS ARE INCOMPETENT</p><p>i guess there's no doubts that swift has made it as a mainstream language, as people are bemoaning the inclusion of features, rather than their absence</p>
