An interesting situation, to be sure, that came about because of this bug

I'd say the text really captures something a lot of us feel but can't put into words. We're used to judging software by how many features it has, but what actually gets us is something else: the feeling that someone put their head and heart into the product. The author is right. When each new feature gets added in isolation, the product loses its coherence and turns into a patchwork quilt.

I'm inclined to agree

The reaction to Xray-core is disappointing

The idea is good, but the execution... is dismal

Just because something is convenient or necessary for you, it doesn't mean it is convenient or necessary for everyone

I like this project

I like this emulation feature. A frontend capable of mimicking MSVC or GCC behavior seems very useful for porting code or developing tools that need to exactly replicate the operation of another compiler.

It turns out so many kids are up to this sort of thing. Honestly, I would have been absolutely convinced they were bots.

It still seems a bit strange
