Man, I love this stuff.

If I want to code by hand, I code by hand. If I want to code with AI, I code with AI. If I want Omarchy, I use Omarchy. If I want to build my own rice from scratch, I do that too. Rust one day, Java the next.

Don't forget why you got into tech in the first place. Remember that joy you felt writing hello world for the first time, or discovering that distro that just clicked, or trying out a keyboard that felt perfect?

It was euphoric. So why try to take that away from someone else?

Have opinions, argue about what's better, whatever. But I'll never understand being so judgmental toward someone for enjoying tech differently.

Some of y'all just need to roll one up and watch Surf's up or something.

@elonmusk @cradrrat I use C/C++ for all my projects. Debt Badge, Clucks Capacitor, homemade power-wall, sculpting software for my haptic interface.

I suppose with AI assisting, the clunkiness of developing in C disappears and the efficiency shines. How soon until the language doesn’t matter?
