It’s the sociology of software development.

The guild of software developers has no real standards, no certification, no proven practices outside <book> and <what $company is doing> while continuing to depend on the whims of project managers, POs and so-caled technical leaders and others which can’t tell quality code from their own ass.

There’s usually no money in writing high-quality software and almost everything in a software development project conspires against quality. Languages like Rust are a desperate attempt at fixing that with technology.

I guess it works, in a way, but these kind of blog posts just show us how inept most programmers are and why the Rust band-aid was needed in the first place.
