I tried doing that, I did not get very far. I was too ambitious with the scope

An argument for using a linter

Very ambitious, a project to rewrite sqlite into Rust, make it async on top of io_uring. I hope it gets traction, it has potential. turso.tech/blog/introdu...

People will forget about it and move on. A glitch in the matrix

It's just a mistake, it happens, we all do it

Eloff @eloffd.bsky.social · Dec 12

I doubt it, not the first or last person to make that mistake

Eloff @eloffd.bsky.social · Dec 12

You really have no idea how it works do you? That's literally part of the job to engage with followers and comments as if you were the person. I thought that was common knowledge by now.

Bigoted prick (conservative) reporting for duty

Eloff @eloffd.bsky.social · Dec 12

People make mistakes, the social media manager was out of character for a moment. They have to pretend to be the person when they reply for engagement.

It is very common, and it would explain it

But why rewrite it in Rust? Just because they can?

I don't buy the memory safety argument here. Sqlite is one of the most heavily tested software packages out there.

She probably pays a social media manager. Very common for public personas. You don't think Biden manages his own X account, do you? Or Taylor Swift? Please...

How you understand anything at all is a mystery if you think Trump = Satan.

There's a kernel of truth there. All branches of the government have been weaponized against people on the right. That's anti-democratic.

Tech twitter seems to have been replaced by politics twitter. I'm giving this a try.
