The moral is "Don't use systemd. And don't chain core system functionality to software from teams with a track record of imcompetence." It's about better, experienced programmers. Not "better" languages.https://twitter.com/mjg59/status/1083500072409608194 …

Sure, it's about better programmers. And better programmers pick better tools, ie. better languages.

A poor craftsman blames his tools. Newer languages != better languages. But newer languages -> inexperienced programmers.

Oh, we're not blaming *OUR* tools. We're blaming yours.

I'd recommend giving this one a read, then: https://twitter.com/myrrlyn/status/980148201456943104 … "Real programmers don't rely on their tools" is an extremely wrong and harmful take.

every hero is a policy failure @myrrlynYou know what, I'm Mad Online about C and I'd apologize but I'm pretty sure this is exactly the content for which most of you followed me, so, let's go.

The whole situation reminds me so much of Vehicular Cycling, which is this bankrupt ideology that posits that instead of re-engineering the roads to make them safer to cycle on, we need to Train People to be Better Cyclists when riding next to 18-wheelers.

I didn't know about this idea. It def seems like an apt analogy. Thanks for sharing!
