10 days agoThe American oil and gas industry is heavily subsidize by the government. So we get an artificially lower price of gas and oil then most places in the world. However our pool companies will still export and use the market price to increase gas prices. The entire system is rigged to keep us addicted to oil. https://www.americanprogress.org/article/5-hidden-ways-the-government-rigs-the-market-in-favor-of-fossil-fuels/
Anyone that says we can’t switch to other modes of energy, we absolutely could. It just requires us to put the same amount of subsidies we already give oil and gas to other industries instead, but that would hurt shareholders of oil companies! We care very much about those shareholders.
So discord started the switch to Rust back in 2019-2020. They have an extensive breakdown as to why they made that switch. https://discord.com/blog/why-discord-is-switching-from-go-to-rust
Not saying they aren’t vibe coding now, but it’s not that they just randomly started doing it this year. They’ve been a Rust shop for over 6 years now.
But end of day we should all find alternatives IMO.
