I posted a rant today about a device crashing on a NULL pointer dereference but I deleted it mainly because its language was not friendly. Sorry for that.
But a "C++ nerd" (from their bio) tried to teach me that
- you can let your programs crash in "safe" languages too (surprise)
- Option::unwrap in #Rust is the same as a NULL pointer dereference (enum,ownership = bloat)
- it is a skill issue (always)
What I actually learned:
Don't tag other languages and keep people in their bubble
