Want to wade into the snowy surf of the abyss? Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid: Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh Awful youāll near-instantly regret.
Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.
If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cutānāpaste it into its own post ā thereās no quota for posting and the bar really isnāt that high.
The post Xitter web has spawned soo many āesotericā right wing freaks, but thereās no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iām talking redscare-ish, reality challenged āculture criticsā who write about everything but understand nothing. Iām talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyāre inescapable at this point, yet I donāt see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnāt be surgeons because they didnāt believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canāt escape them, I would love to sneer at them.
(Credit and/or blame to David Gerard for starting this. Merry Christmas, happy Hannukah, and happy holidays in general!)


I strongly disagree. I would much rather write a JavaScript or C++ application than ever touch Rob Pikes abortion of a language. Thankfully, other options are available.
Meh, at least go has a standard library thatās useful for⦠anything, really
Yes, I like a good standard library its probably one of the reasons why Java and C# are so popular with enterprise software development. They are both languages I consider better than go. You can write horrible code in both of them but unlike with go you arenāt forced to do so because the go clergy has decided that any kind of abstraction is heresy to the gospel of simplicity. Most go code I have seen is anything but simple because it forces you to read through a load of irrelevant implementation details just to find what you are actually looking for.
