Should be titled, "demotivating a programmer with a specific personality type." Sure, some good programmer you know doesn't value money; that doesn't mean every skilled programmer won't value it.

Yeah, I guess that makes sense. Removes confusion for people new to the ecosystem who might think some third party crates are officially maintained by the rust team.

I'm a bit confused about the premise of the article. Does anyone assert that typing speed is a bottleneck at all? I've been in the industry for years, and have never heard that claim.

I do agree about the whole "less code is not always more", but I get confused when the author keeps bringing it back to typing speed.

I'm confused, what exactly is going downhill? Hacktoberfest, or open source in general?

It's not just limited to this community, either. Lemmy across the board still feels pretty empty compared to the sheer number of users Reddit has, unfortunately.

Ah, you're right! Somehow I missed that, good catch.

Cheaper? Yes, I guess so, depending on how you measure cost. More useful? Absolutely disagree.

Most sites load no content at all if JS is disabled.

I don't think that necessarily holds true for OSS. The average user with no development experience wanting to use an open source project doesn't mean it will always develop faster.

For #2, there isn't anything stopping a separate auth system not through GitHub. Really just needs someone to own the implementation. See https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io/issues/326#issuecomment-216662599 for past discussion surrounding this.

I'm right there with you. I've been using Rust for years. If anything, Rust has increased my ability to iterate and refactor.
