I was looking hard at Zig for future projects but when the project lead callously refers to me and my fellow hubbers as “losers” and “monkeys” I can easily skip his project. If he shows that lack of compassion towards anonymous people, I can’t imagine how he would treat people whose PRs he doesn’t like. And saying “I believe taking shots at MSFT employees is fair game” out of one side of his mouth while also saying that he “regrets causing people to feel upset” is duplicitous at best. Andrew absolutely should apologize to the other human beings he denigrated - otherwise I would strongly encourage anyone thinking of using or contributing to Zig to examine the type of culture he is promoting.

@andrewrk@mastodon.social yikes what a privileged take you have. You know absolutely nothing about me and judge me based on my employer? Do you really have no other options in your blog post than to shit on other human beings that you have never met? Your absolute lack of empathy is appalling and makes me and many others not interested in your community. Also stop gaslighting by saying you’re “sorry” and then doubling down. Own your rude and insensitive take.

@andrewrk@mastodon.social finally safe_sleep isn’t something I wrote so I won’t take responsibility for it. It’s also not something written by an employee - it was contributed by an external developer. Unlike your sponsor Blacksmith, GH open sourced their runner (the public repo you linked to)

@andrewrk@mastodon.social since GH is so evil I’m sure you refused the $150k you made in GH Sponsors last year. What is your beef with GH? I’m assuming it’s AI since that’s been the major change in the last few years. Then again part of your salary comes from AI companies so maybe not.

@treydogsacid@mastodon.social I’ll continue using Go or Rust. They have a much healthier community than Zig.

@yungterraism@mastodon.social I’m well aware as I am one of those employees. I’m stating that those in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.

@Albright@phpc.social @treydogsacid@mastodon.social they didn’t refer to an entire group of anonymous people as “losers” or “monkeys” Rust and Go are more empathetic and welcoming than Zig for sure.
