# Some Quality Shitposting
I was doing my daily HN and Lobster trawling, when I stumbled on a post by boringcactus which sounded somewhat familiar. About half way through I realized it was a truly epic shitpost and genuinely burst out laughing.
The story begins on February 2, 2021, with a post on Drew Devault's blog:
=> https://drewdevault.com/2021/02/02/Anti-Wayland-horseshit.html I'm tired of this anti-Wayland horseshit
It's a good read – Drew's a smart guy (he makes Sourcehut). In it, he disparages detractors of Wayland and says that much of the people who criticize it haven't given it a close enough look and should think about what they're saying before they go shitting on maintainers of an all-together pretty dope project (which, by the way, I use).
Seven days later he wrote another post:
=> https://drewdevault.com/2021/02/09/Rust-move-fast-and-break-things.html Rust: "Move fast and break things" as a moral imperative
In this post, he criticizes the Rust Foundation's attitude toward stability and platform support. A fatal mistake. In one fell swoop, and one s/Wayland/Rust, boringcactus ended this man's career. Check it out:
