- belderbos.dev: “Rust Is for People Who Want to Be Punished.” Now Jochen Trusts It More Than Python
- This intrigues me, like the world is so apart right now. People are on two ends of spectrum, one who have 30+ years of experience and saying, fundamentals and love for learning to code will never be replaced, on the other hand, there are AI-optimists, who says, ‘code is not the point, good software is’. I don’t where I want to be.
- I definitely started because of the curiosity and probably will continue because of it, but its too big of a divide to be choosing and I don’t feel like I am in a correct position, or I should say, I have positioned myself in a wired spot. Where code is not the point, the product, or the thing that I produce that will value the customer is. Code has 0 value. Hand coded or vibe coded, it doesn’t matter. I am feeling a bit existential because I haven’t been able to prove that wrong. “The error messages were my friends right out of the gate”Yes, error messages are valuable, I want to collect as many as I can. But AI is eating them up before me. OR I am letting him eat up?“Rust is a beautiful language. It's an aesthetic language. It looks good, and working toward more beautiful code was really something I liked”Really its good to view structured and understandable code, I am not gonna lie, it feels great to write some sophisticated code by hand (not to confuse someone but to make it usable). Though with AI reading and writing most of the code, who even bothers?
- I like the author’s honesty and raw expression but I am not in a right mindset to agree to this I think, we are past the point where programming languages matter in making code look readable.
