For anyone who used a computer between 1990 & 2005… what’s the one game you still think about?

Microsoft has set a goal to “eliminate every line of C and C++ from Microsoft by 2030.” What are they going to try to replace that C & C++ code with? You guessed it. Rust. And they’re going to use AI to do the “Rust re-write” at an insane speed. “Our strategy is to combine AI *and* Algorithms to rewrite Microsoft’s largest codebases. Our North Star is “1 engineer, 1 month, 1 million lines of code”. You read that right. One million lines of code, per engineer, per month. Pure insanity. This kind of decision making is common among those with a deeply held, delusional faith in the Cult of Rust. Take battle tested code, and re-write it (without a clear benefit to the end user) at a recklessly rapid rate. Then force others to adopt that rewritten code before it is ready or properly tested. All while holding a delusional belief that your new Rust code is superior in all ways, and is inherently bug free thanks to the divine nature of Rust. We learned this from a post by Galen Hunt, Distinguished Engineer at Microsoft Research. linkedin.com/posts/galenh_p…

When Atari's last gasp, the Jaguar, came out, John Carmack was fascinated because it claimed to be the first 64 bit system. He really really wanted to work on it. Literally everyone else at id Software felt the Jaguar was going to fail. For one thing, it was being marketed by Atari, a company with a proven record of ineptitude. But also we were doing so well with Doom on the computer side, why mess with Jaguar? Even more obviously - why do it ourselves? Couldn't we get some outsider to program Doom for the Jaguar, so the mighty John Carmack could spend his time moving ahead on Quake or adding a few features to Doom 2? Nope. His mind was made up. The potential money made no difference, and he never used it to argue for the Jaguar. It was all about how fun and interesting it would be for him to learn it. Well, John Carmack is John Carmack so he got his way. 1/2
