Cattle, not pets.

But also, stop building stupid and inefficient software. We have these immensely powerful platforms that pervade server farms and consumer devices alike fucking everywhere these days. One of the marked downsides is that now everyone who just wants to finish the MVP and doesn’t care about system efficiency, reliability, and robustness just throws a pile of ass-tier frameworks at the problem and calls it done.

Use more Rust. It’s good for you. It’s good for the practice of computer science writ large. It’s good for the world.
