A single race condition is a tragedy. A million race conditions is eventual consistency.

What I love most about Krazam is that in every video they make, you see the guy move up the usual tech career ladder xD

It’s difficult problem to solve. Lemmy’s stack is a bit unconventional. The rust backend is not idiomatic and the ui is based off a template of an isomorphic not-quite-react framework. Its not impossible, but it will take a while for alot of programmers come onboard.

That being said, there’s more to it than writing code. Better bug reports, reproduction, updating docs and triaging/managing the issues is possibly more important than writing PRs. Don’t be discouraged!

Article is a bit dated and hard to read. The gist of the author is relatable though 15 years later: redundancies have been hella annoying, especially if they are unknown. Bad abstractions, however, create dilemmas, dead-locks and chicken-and-egg situations. And it’s impossible to create good abstractions unless you have no colleagues and no customers.

I would take some frustration over grinding to a halt any time.
