I think trying to learn Rust did irreparable damage to my perception of the concepts of immutability, monads, and traits/typeclasses. I hate these three things so much now
@kasdeya This is not the first time I've seen a piece of Rust and responded with "I thought I wanted to learn that language".
@kasdeya Ah, good old "just". We are "just" doing this. It is very simple, "just" go ahead and give it this and that. Surely anyone who doesn't get it will feel better, having read how simple it is to "just" do this!
Sorry, loaded response. But ever since I became aware of the pattern, I've been trying to make a conscious effort to remove that work from my tech vocabulary and seeing it causes a Reaction™.
@fargate this is a really good point tbh - I might want to be more conscious of my own use of the word “just” as well since you’re right that it really comes off like it’s saying “this is so simple for me, so surely it’s incredibly simple and easy for you too” which is a very harmful sentiment when it comes to tech
