We really are in the trenches. How is this garbage #1 on the front page of *HN* right now?
Even if it was totally legitimate, the "landing page" (its design) and the headline ("Learning Zig is not just about adding a language to your resume. It is about fundamentally changing how you think about software."?????) should discredit it immediately.
When was the front page of HN that impressive anyways? It has always been latest fad and the first to comment "the right thing to say" gets rewarded with fake internet points.
I made a comment about it obviously being AI generated, and my comment[1] was quickly downvoted, and there were comments explaining how I was obviously incorrect ("Clearly your perception of what is AI generated is wrong."). My comment was pushed under many comments saying the book was a fantastic resource. Extremely strange.
