• Names that would normally end in "-er", but delete the "e", with Grindr being the most notorious

I'm not sure if Flickr and Tumblr really fell off that much or if there's something else involved for Grindr to be the "most notorious" example of that trend for you.

They're famous but not notorious (well, Tumblr is sort of notorious).

I wrote a couple high-profile projects in Java (using a proper language on android was a PITA), that still hang on even if Java is relegated to Enterprise and low-cost Indian developers. I'm sure Zig will survive, althoughbeit it might get less mindshare and fewer people who know it (though I assume picking up Zig is easier for anyone you recruit for $DAYJOB than e. g. prolog, which I had to learn for a job).

Day 387 of coping positively reinforcing the abject certainty that I VILL get a job writing SBCL

Ruby survived the death of Rails. I don't see Zig going anywhere.

Until your old code gets broken once again due to a non-backwards-compatible version update.

The bun rewrite to rust just got merged

> +1009257 -4024
It compiles, ship it. The absolute state of AI sloppers

Edit: i find it double funny that github is shitting itself trying to show the PR page. We're so fucked

I hope someone makes a prominent (and good) fork that does away with this horrible rewrite, not because of any AI pearl clutching, but because of just how poorly the standards for coding has become if this is allowed for a major project.

If so, look elsewhere, don't expect anything good to come out of JavaScript/TypeScript-land.

Bun was never good. It's been owned by anthropic and merging unreviewed slop for a long time, and even without that, the people behind merging this 1m LOC AI port are the same people that have always been behind the project.

For the record, the AI port also benefits from exactly none of rust's safety features because it is a transliteration, not a proper port. From what I've seen, claude just brute forced things like unsafe pointer-to-ref casts everywhere which defeats the purpose entirely. It likely also introduced undefined behavior via things like aliased &mut refs which are not undefined in zig.

ps faux | grep process_name seems like it's more work than it's worth. I've only ever used ps aux to check if something's running.

I'd argue the proper tool for that job is `pidof process_name` (especially since it has tab completion, at least if you use the bourne again shell like God intended).
