For my people still actually programming, please, use a fucking debugger. It sucks but it's so fucking important. Not that it would have solved the cloudlfare thing, but I'm of the opinion that not enough people use debuggers in this day and age

For the record I haven't looked at or worked in assembly for over 25 years. I haven't done anything in C in about 22 years, and I haven't done anything in C++ for over 20 years. Everything I do these days is in Python, R or heaven forbid Matlab (never octave).

How did I find out about this? People that probably couldn't fizz buzz their way out of a wet paper bag complaining about people that use Rust.

Everywhere I've seen talk about unwrap() going back several years talks about not not using it unless you know what you're doing and stresses not using it in production. Which someone at cloudflare did blog.cloudflare.com/18-november-...

I bring this up because I'm hearing a bunch of whining about Rust, Re: cloudflare outage and Internet downtime. It apparently came down to some code written in Rust, using unwrap().

Rust is apparently memory safe, which is a good thing. Being memory safe removes a known barrier that takes years of experience to be good at. However, being memory safe is not a replacement for competency and experience.
