Can't escape AI slop projects from meat proxies man. Every single open source project smells like Claude Code recently. Sad times.

It does make me sad that Rust is getting so strongly associated with slop. Personally I find it a really fun language to actually program in. The language being expression-based is actually quite handy, and is a concept I wish existed in other languages too. But it is also unfortunately the most sensible language for vibe-coding too because of the performance and guardrails.

    Wouldn't it be great to master a language like C while also grasping the logic behind other programming languages? I’m not entirely against artificial intelligence, but it’s completely useless—it’s absolute garbage.

    I for one grasp C and work with it, no big deal. AI does it well too and is probably going to eat the fun-of-coding out of my job. That's sad to me but, it's not useless. For now there's a lot of stuff we didn't maintain like docs and unit tests and thanks to ai it's kept up to date now, not that it's very important but we strive at just doing more, not being less workers.

    Yes, you are absolutely right. Regardless of how proficient an LLM (large language model) might be at documentation and coding, it remains just that—an LLM. If you write the documentation yourself, you can craft it in a way that is both engaging and humorous. I am not suggesting that we should avoid using LLMs altogether; I simply believe they should be used with moderation.

    Yeah well you can thank rust tools that are replacing coreutils and somehow finding their way as defaults. Eza is a prime example. Oh pretty icons but you can't handle ls -larth, so glad you are in rust though. Rust has had a reputation before the slop.

    Eza isn't a reimplementation... it's its own program. The name of the binary is also eza not ls. What OS are you using that uses eza instead of ls? I have both installed and have ls aliased to eza because I find the coloured output to be easier to read (much like syntax-highlighted code is easier to read), but I've never seen eza pre-installed on a system, not does it conflict with ls. Package managers let you install both. They're different programs.

    you're not gonna get a reply to these questions, because they installed eza themself and also, separately, heard about ubuntu adopting the uutils reimplementations of coreutils, which of course does not include eza.
