Look at the absolute state of what they are working on. If they are not losers, they are dispirited clock-punchers who don't care about their craft.

I’m sure this isn’t directed at everyone that works at GH, but it would have been more tactful to fault the people making decisions. Those frustrations are real though.

Is it really a surprise that the project that declared a blanket ban on LLM-generated code is also emotional and childish in other areas?

You know what else isn't cool? Working at GitHub!

More seriously: I probably wouldn't have called every single current employee of GitHub a "loser", but more because I think truly cool people don't define themselves by where they happen to work at any given time. I'm sure the vast majority of people at GitHub are just tech employees trying to earn a living and don't particularly care whether the Zig guy thinks they're cool or not. What actually matters is that GitHub is a big centralized platform run by Microsoft for their own ends, and it's good to be free of it.

Oh no! Not the poor Microserf drones! I will play a dirge on the world's smallest violin while they count down the days until stock vesting.

Holy shit, some people in the Zig community are toxic af. By extension, this means the community itself has issues it needs to face.

Not only have some of these folks - including the creator - been shitting in Rust threads, but here they're in here shitting on the awesome engineers at Github for no reason at all.

Good god.

edit: this is written by Andrew, the creator. The culture is rotten from the head.

I'm not sure that your unsupported assertion represents a substantive contribution to this discussion. Why do you believe it's not cool, munchler?
