this post has been making the rounds on Mastodon, for good reason. it’s nominally a post about the governance and community around C++, but (without spoiling too much) it’s written as a journey packed with cathartic sneers at a number of topics and people we’ve covered here before. as a quick preview, tell me this isn’t relatable:

This is not a feel good post, and to even call it a rant would be dismissive of the absolute unending fury I am currently living through as 8+ years of absolute fucking horseshit in the C++ space comes to fruition, and if I don’t write this all as one entire post, I’m going to physically fucking explode.

fucking masterful

an important moderator note for anyone who comes here looking to tone police in the spirit of the Tech Industry Blog Social Compact: lol

    it outperforms f35 in few ways, and in ways it doesn’t a couple of f35 improvements can be grafted onto it. both carry the same weapons. it’s to f35 what is f15 to f16. still it’s apex predator in air to air combat, which is precisely what it was made for

    it’s also no longer made, more expensive than f35 (partially because only qurter of planned number was made) probably a bitch to maintain (tradeoff in f35 is probably maintainability for a degree of stealthiness), and runs on i960 because the last ones were built like 15 years ago
