    Just FYI this isn’t 4chan, we try not to misgender here. That’s why you’re getting downvoted. If someone says they’re a woman, then it’s best to treat them as though they are.

    There are plenty of other places where “transvestigation” and misgendering are commonplace, e.g. Reddit. programming.dev is full of software peeps, and a disproportionately large number of software peeps are trans. I try my best to respect them and I recommend all do the same.
















  • Even though most of the specifics you point to are wrong, it’s a good point overall:

    Rust, being #1, should be better than all other languages. The fact that it’s just decent makes it seem overhyped, and all the downvotes on haters make it look like a cult.

    Back when it was small, the cult-like following was OK. But now that the language is becoming more mainstream I think the Rust evangelizers need to tone it down a bit or they risk pushing people away.

    On your point, TypeScript is a decent language too. There can be two good things.

    Apologies for the tangent:

    I know we’re just having fun, but in the future consider adding the word “some” to statements about groups. It’s just one word, but it adds a lot of nuance and doesn’t make the joke less funny.

    That 90’s brand of humor of “X group does Y” has led many in my generation to think in absolutes and to get polarized as a result. I’d really appreciate your help to work against that for future generations.

    Totally optional. Thank you
