> The Go to Rust rewrite is interesting - was that driven by performance or more about the ecosystem/tooling for this kind of work?

I'm testing a theory that large-scale (LoC) generated projects in Rust tend to have fewer functional bugs compared to e.g. Go or Java because Rust as a language is a little stricter.

I've not yet formed a full opinion or conclusion, but in general I'm starting to prefer Rust.

Re: generalizing mocks, it sounds interesting but after getting full-fidelity clones of so many multi-billion dollar SaaS offerings, I really like it and am hooked. It pays nice dividends for developing using agentic coders at high scale. In a few more model releases having your own exhaustive DTU could become trivial.

Am I growing too paranoid, or are you using AI to generate the comments posted on this account?

It's 100% another bot account:

This one's a bit clever in that it actually comments back.

I feel like I've been pointing them out too much lately so I wanted to wait until somebody else did first.

They all seem to take advantage of accounts that are a few years old with zero posts and then suddenly make a bunch of AI-generated comments on a single day, like this one did (account from 2023, no posts until today.)

The last bot I pointed out that did the same thing ended up having its "owner" make a post about it that didn't get any attention:
