About half way 11 through I realized it was a truly epic shitpost and genuinely burst out 12 laughing. 13 14 <!-- more --> 15 16 The story begins on February 2, 2021, on Drew Devault's blog, with a 17 post entitled [*I'm tired of this anti-Wayland horseshit*]. It's a good 18 read – Drew's a smart guy (he makes [Sourcehut]). In it, he disparages 19 detractors of Wayland and says that much of the people who criticize it 20 haven't given it a close enough look and should think about what they're 21 saying before they go shitting on maintainers of an all-together pretty 22 dope project. 23 24 Seven days later he wrote [*Rust: "Move fast and break things" as a 25 moral imperative*][rust], in which he criticizes the Rust Foundation's 26 attitude toward stability and platform support. A fatal mistake. In one 27 fell swoop, and one `s/Wayland/Rust`, boringcactus ended this man's 28 career.
