    From now on, any time I am reviewing programmer resumes for a job, if I ever see "WebGPU Working Group" on a resume, that resume goes instantly into the trash. Not bluffing. There has to be a penalty for pollution or people will keep doing it. I encourage others to treat resumes

        the same way (but doubt many will, because most people seem not to care enough!)

        Recycling Bin is too good for the WebGPU Working Group.

        I haven’t been following this development as closely as I should. Do you have more rants I can read, regarding your views on this?

        What is the context on this? I'm not aware of whatever it is and I'd absolutely like to know more

        What's the solution you're thinking of? A good portion of the group fought for SPIR-V for years, Apple fought back with some alright reasons, they settled on a language that's really straightforward to translate back and forth to SPIR-V.

        The problem is why can't I just program in whatever language I want, like we knew how to do in the 1970s, then gave up that capability for some reason. Re SPIR-V, come on, the corporate politics there are clear as day. You know they wouldn't "fight back" against MSL, even if

        sorry but if I’m gonna have a “direct to trash” rule for resumes it’s gonna be about a person’s choice to work on things rushing the world to a totalitarian dystopia not a well meaning but perhaps poorly conceived programming language

        What about the value of perspective? Because you have a designation doesn't mean you condone all related design decisions. Value is a function of both depth of experience and breadth of experience. How much of your decisions are influenced by poor design, in an effort to correct?
