1 # Some Quality Shitposting 2 3 I was doing my daily HN and Lobster trawling, when I stumbled on a post by boringcactus which sounded somewhat familiar. About half way through I realized it was a truly epic shitpost and genuinely burst out laughing. 4 5 The story begins on February 2, 2021, with a post on Drew Devault's blog: 6 7 => https://drewdevault.com/2021/02/02/Anti-Wayland-horseshit.html I'm tired of this anti-Wayland horseshit 8 9 It's a good read – Drew's a smart guy (he makes Sourcehut). In it, he disparages detractors of Wayland and says that much of the people who criticize it haven't given it a close enough look and should think about what they're saying before they go shitting on maintainers of an all-together pretty dope project (which, by the way, I use). 10 11 Seven days later he wrote another post: 12 13 => https://drewdevault.com/2021/02/09/Rust-move-fast-and-break-things.html Rust: "Move fast and break things" as a moral imperative 14 15 In this post, he criticizes the Rust Foundation's attitude toward stability and platform support. A fatal mistake. In one fell swoop, and one s/Wayland/Rust, boringcactus ended this man's career.
