That's just how magical it is, the text flips for everyone reading it.

I had a very annoying interaction with this once. I won't make the company because I'm willing to chalk it up to a one off and I don't want the message to be "Amazon good" lol. They were able to ship something faster than Amazon, but it never arrived. I reached out about it and theor excuse was basically that they forgot. It sounded like it was a case of someone was supposed to physically move something and it got missed somehow. They gave me a refund for the shipping cost in the end, which was nice, because I told them the entire reason I used them was that they could get it there faster than Amazon but they didn't.

Amazon is so big. It's just become this system that we interact with that's difficult to avoid. It's frustrating because while that little mishap with a smaller retailer was annoying to me (a gift showed up late for a gift exchange), if it means that the workers don't need to fucking piss in bottles then it's worth it.

Eh, I don't really see a problem with releasing an app before you "should" release one. I don't think the world improves by discouraging amateurs from sharing their work. Now whether they actually try to learn and grow or just keep vibe coding, who knows.

I guess in my mind I just associate raw pointers with low level. But I guess Rust lets you do that with unsafe blocks still?

My point is that the natural, not trying to push the limits definition of wheel is already much broader than door.

My bedroom has about four doors in it, but even just one dresser has like 16 wheels inside of it, two per drawer.

Depends how generous we are with the definition of door. Do we consider any sort of opening a door? Is the way bugs get into the ground a door? If so, then doors. Otherwise it's probably wheels. I think the general definition for what we consider a wheel (without getting really loosey goosey like I was before) is much more broad. A door is something for a person to open and close. A wheel is a round thing that spins. Even if you're thinking something like "well, buildings have a lot of doors, and there are more buildings than cars..." Consider that a lot of furniture has wheels. Drawers have wheels. My dishwasher has a "door" but the racks have wheels. My office chair has 5, maybe 10 depending on how you count. I've got like four in the house I think. That's already like 40 wheels from just office chairs.

Is rust low level? Genuine question, not trying to start an argument. I guess I sort of view it as low level but with a high level compiler lmao.

Yeah, I think the flow was this,

1. Is this vibe coded?
2. Partially, because of some of the features of Rust.
3. Borrow checker?
4. (Humourous misunderstanding ensues.)

Basically asking if the thing that gave them trouble was the borrow checker.

This is funny, and I do think it's fair to take little jabs at vibe coders, but just be careful. When I was learning to play a game in the past I asked a question. People thought the answer was obvious because the rules were on the thing I was asking about, but I was so new to the game I didn't even know what those words meant. If this was any other context, I'd be hesitant to give someone flak for not knowing a technical term like that. (The context being that somebody vibe coded something.)

I'm not sure if your comment means you're rusty (heh) or a novice who hasn't tried programming in a while, so I'm sorry if this comes across as condescending. The best advice I try to give everyone is to chase the fun. That advice applies both to people learning and hobbyists doing stuff.

I see a lot of folks argue about what's the best way to begin or where the best place to begin is. There's no best way. Everything builds into each other. You become a better programmer regardless of what language you choose.

Rust was fun! I fiddled with it a bit a few years ago. The only real frustration I had was that it complained a lot about half correct programs. Like in other languages I may have just been able to put some bad code or something in some place I didn't really care about and wasn't focusing on, but Rust is very strict. It's been long enough now that I forget exactly what specifically bothered me. It could have just as easily been that it was because I didn't know it well so the compiler was just the messenger of that lol. Other languages could have just blown up at runtime.
