I was looking hard at Zig for future projects but when the project lead callously refers to me and my fellow hubbers as “losers” and “monkeys” I can easily skip his project.
If he shows that lack of compassion towards anonymous people, I can’t imagine how he would treat people whose PRs he doesn’t like.
And saying “I believe taking shots at MSFT employees is fair game” out of one side of his mouth while also saying that he “regrets causing people to feel upset” is duplicitous at best.
Andrew absolutely should apologize to the other human beings he denigrated - otherwise I would strongly encourage anyone thinking of using or contributing to Zig to examine the type of culture he is promoting.

@veverkap@hachyderm.io @andrewrk@mastodon.social Pull yourself together my son, there is no chance in hell you are going to let some words prevent you from experiencing comptime and the Vector builtin. It's not worth it...

@veverkap@hachyderm.io I do feel bad for hurting your feelings but I also strongly believe that you should not be proud of working for Microsoft, and particularly on GitHub for the last 5 years. I truly am sorry but you need to be called out. Are you really willing to take responsibility for safe_sleep.sh? Do you really have no other options in your career besides MS?
