    The documentation is usually dog shit.

    The corporate culture does not allow appropriate time for the documentation as it is considered something that cost money without a quantifiable gain.

    It permeates in the FOSS space as well since writing good documentation is a skill and it is not fostered in corporations. So devs start great projects with terrible documentation.




  • The cat is out of the bag and long gone.

    People got used to the simplicity of centralized services, and corpos made great efforts to make everything 1-click.

    So when the average users need to do more than 1-click, they won’t use the software.

    It would help if anti-trust laws were applied and these mega-corpos got broken in a thousand pieces. Centralized monolith services would have a harder time to thrive and give space to federation/decentralization.











  • I know Rust superficially. I use it to create simple tests for my embedded projects, so mostly just serial terminal with keyboard inputs.

    It works a lot better for me than python because Rust is a lot closer to C than python.

    So I cannot comment on Rust shortcomings. I was interested in knowing for what kind of projects Rust wasn’t good.


  • I am glad for your comment because I work with mcus and embedded solutions in C, so Rust, in that case, wouldn’t be neccesarily safer than C.

    I will have to look into it. I need to do 30h of training every two years, so I will learn Rust regardless, but I was thinking about eventually switching to Rust for embedded projects. Might just keep Rust as my scripting language because it is easier for me than Python
