@sackofbones@kolektiva.social Yeah, I've seen screenshots of DHH like "I hate writing Rust, but now that we have agents, I don't have to! They can rewrite everything in Rust for me! And the language keeps the bots from security issues. I don't look at code anymore."
Which... is an appealing vision of the future for terrible people.
(I personally dislike Rust, but my solution is to just use languages I like instead. I have critiques about the language, sure. But it's the evangelists where I have *complaints*!)

@MaddieM4@raphus.social @sackofbones@kolektiva.social people believing a strong type system magically makes something safe is so dangerous. the type system is a tool for *you* to tell the computer what constraints your program is supposed to obey. if you don't give the computer this information and let it make shit up for you, all bets are off
