Remember, back in the day, when a year of progress was like, oh, they voted to add some syntactic sugar to Java...

I remember when we just wanted to rewrite everything in Rust.

Those were the simpler times, when crypto bros seemed like the worst venture capitalism could conjure.

Crypto bros in hindsight were so much less dangerous than AI bros. At least they weren't trying to construct data centers in rural America or prop up artificial stocks like $NVDA.

It's funny how people complain about the rust belt dying and factories leaving rural communities and so on, then when someone wants to build something that can provide jobs and tax revenue, everyone complains.

How many people are employed at the average data center? A few dozen? Versus a steel mill, that’s nothing. A chicken plant in Nebraska closed down this last month. 3200 people lost their jobs. You think Meta will fill it with GPUs and the whole town will have jobs again?
