It’s less the job post, more the implication, that they consider Rust to be better than (their internally developed) C# for one of their major products. And that I think is worth news (as it could further drive towards adoption of Rust in general).

One day you will inherit a code base so bad that you’ll end up commenting old code
Will not be the case, I won’t take a job, where I have this situation (or I’ll quit pretty quickly)…
Yeah my “comment standards” (btw. as others mentioned here, I was unprecise/unlucky with the choice of words, I meant “comment the why” or doc-comments totally fine and should be aimed)
Your so called comment standards and principals are fine if you are building something from the ground up
Yes that was also targeted with my comment. But what you’re referring to is just missing documentation, and I think this should be done on a higher level. The “comment why” rule applies for spaghetti code non-the-less…
Nah, it’s not, code is modular (IME should be kinda tree-structured), a book is linear.
So the API should be in your analogy the synopsis. And I haven’t said, that there shouldn’t be any comments. E.g. doc-comments above functions, explaining the use-cases and showing examples are good practice.
Don’t get me wrong comments != documentation (e.g. doc-comments above function/method).
I probably was a bit unprecise, as others here summed up well, it’s the why that should be commented.
Yeah that’s a good summary
Yeah, but unironic…
If your code needs comments, it’s either because it’s unnecessarily complex/convoluted, or because there’s more thought in it (e.g. complex mathematic operations, or edge-cases etc.). Comments just often don’t age well IME, and when people are “forced” to read the (hopefully readable) code, they will more likely understand what is really happening, and the relevant design decisions.

SUUUUUUUUURE!!!11 I"M oN ITTTTTTTT
We’re at 22.8̅2̅8̅7̅8̅4̅1̅1̅9̅1̅0̅6̅6̅9̅9̅7̅5̅1̅8̅6̅1̅0̅4̅2̅1̅8̅3̅6̅2̅2̅% slowly gaining rainbow ground
I just calculated exact subpixel accuracy, for me it’s exactly 20.5̅9̅5̅5̅3̅3̅4̅9̅8̅7̅5̅9̅3̅0̅5̅2̅1̅0̅9̅1̅8̅1̅1̅4̅1̅4̅3̅9̅2̅0̅ % that is still missing to fill the whole comment body with rainbows, way to go!
Let’s start the sixth rainbow!
Plenty of space for me still (browser version on desktop)
Rookie numbers, it’s probably 15% on my screen, There’s space for a lot more rainbows
“easily” solve it.
FTFY
And we’re about to enter the fourth rainbow dimension in the next comment…
Until the competition isn’t as shitty and doubles the salary ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
We’re in the third rainbow, keep building more stripes lol
Zig > Rust because actually writing safe Rust code
Start thinking more functional, I rarely have issues with the borrow-checker, or even have to write unsafe
. But it obviously depends on the context, when the issue at hand really requires a lot of interior mutability or unsafe
can be pain.
I’m also super fast nowadays with Rust, probably faster than with any other language (thanks to great tooling?).
but effectively it’s bash, I think /bin/sh
is a symlink to bash on every system I know of…
Edit: I feel corrected, thanks for the information, all the systems I used, had a symlink to bash. Also it was not intended to recommend using bash functionality when having a shebang !#/bin/sh
. As someone other pointed out, recommendation would be , or
!#/bin/sh
if you know that you’re not using bash specific functionality.
People use the most convenient way to collaborate, and that’s for me currently Github. Really hope, some day a better alternative with ForgeFed becomes reality.
Easy, it’s just… continue programming in python. (large codebases are a mess in python…)
More seriously: Don’t do that, it’ll only create headaches for your fellow colleagues and will not really hit those (hard) that likely deserve this.
