All the principal engineers at Microsoft that I respect are completely comfortable with asking "dumb questions". When you don't feel like you have to prove your intelligence or worth, you learn more because you ask better questions.

I liked the Rust cliche, "systems programmers can have nice things" at first. But now it feels limiting, because Rust is so much more versatile than systems programming.

I wish more programming languages would dare to do things differently like Rust, Unisonweb and Erlang do. It's so refreshing to see new approaches to software development.

The versatility that Rust brings to the table is just mind-blowing. With the exception of GUI/front-end work*, it's a viable choice at almost every level of the stack. Once mastered, it's the ultimate Swiss-army knife.

I'm trying Tauri to write multi platform applications. The final product is nice but I don't like using multiple languages and styles in the same app.

Replying to @ShriramKMurthi
Hot take: Programmers like minimalism in languages primarily for aesthetic/psychological reasons and the stated rational reasons (which do have some merit) are still mostly post hoc and don't fully justify. ...

This is bad and shows how bad managers at Canonical are. Avoid Canonical, there are better places with better people and you deserve better.

The entire email is a huge red flag but the question "Outside of class, what were your interests and where did you spend your time?" in the context of the email is particularly bad. The only valid answer is "That's none of your business".

I need a good language to design systems and I keep postponing. I should learn TLA . I wonder how much time I would need to get productive with it considering I have already some experience.

I wonder if the chip shortage will ever go away and if not then what we will do moving forward.

Something that works on Linux and MacOs would be great.

So much this 👇 We have to stop this romanticized image of the programmer who doesn’t need anybody and must know everything on their own. Other people may know better, reading what they say is worth it.
Some of the best programmers in the world have written books full of concepts and patterns and practices that would take a lifetime to discover on your own.
