| > This is the wildest single thing I've ever seen on HN. You decided it would be a good use of your time to try to explain - straight to someone's face - why you (in your own words) "hate" them. Wild. That's not exactly what I intended. When I said "hater", I was poking fun at myself for being a "hater." Informally, in the US, a hater is simply a negative or critical person. You don't want to be described as a "hater", and I self-applied the term. But since "hate" is perhaps too strong a term for this forum (or is too US centric?), I disclaim that word as describing my feelings towards Drew, and apologize to him if I was misunderstood (Drew, I'm sorry!). Now that we are past that word, how I feel about Drew and his writing is laid out in the parent comment. > I mean, Drew literally says this in the article you're commenting on I think you may have mixed up the two posts to which I was referring. It could be I wasn't clear enough. At that part of my comment, I was referring to his initial post: "Does Rust belong in the Linux kernel?" See: https://drewdevault.com/2022/10/03/Does-Rust-belong-in-Linux... >> I might even jump in and build out a driver or two for fun myself, that sounds like a good opportunity for me to learn Rust properly with a fun project with a well-defined scope. I'm not sure how Drew claiming he might write a Rust driver in the future lends Drew credibility here? At least not the credibility I indicate is missing from Drew's post. However, maybe I'm missing something? |
Maybe one day you'll spend time composing your thoughts to put out there, looking forward to engaging in a discussion on a topic close to your heart, and instead you'll find someone saying they personally hate you.
