The engineer that posted this has already edited his post to say it was taken out of context.
Not affecting legacy Windows stuff at all, just new projects is the way he meant it from what I read.
Had to actually read the article to figure out that this is them using AI to write Rust instead of just being another post bitching about rust
With vibe coded Rust? From one nightmare to another I guess.
Rust written by humans is a good tool for surgery on complex, safety-critical code. It is a real advancement in the state of the art - that’s why the Linux kernel project is adopting it.
But it’s like a wrecking ball is a good tool as well, but still you won’t want to do surgery with a wrecking ball. (But I can’t tell whether vibe coding with GenAI is as useful as a wrecking ball. Perhaps if you want to wreck the technical bases of our civilization ?)
