+I was doing my daily HN and Lobster trawling, when I stumbled on [a
+post][shitpost] by [boringcactus][boringcactus] which sounded somewhat
+familiar. About half way through I realized it was a truly epic
+shitpost and genuinely burst out laughing.
+<!-- more -->
+
+The story beings on February 2, 2021, on Drew Devault's blog, with a
+post entitled [*I'm tired of this anti-Wayland horseshit*][wayland].
+It's a good read – Drew's a smart guy (he makes [Sourcehut][srcht]).
+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.
+
+Seven days later he wrote [*Rust: "Move fast and break things" as a
+moral imperative*][rust], in which 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. Check it out:
