I’ve worked in many large enterprises. They always cut too deep - thats the tactic: Cut more than needed to remove the “fat” (in the eyes of the decision holders) then rehire a bit where you’re not holding up.

In this case it’s two steps back and one step forward. Net, it’s still a reduction of the org size.

    Arguably Zig has a simpler approach to memory management (which can also lead to more errors, arguably) which makes the transition from C somewhat easier. Downside is that the language is still under heavy development and you definitely have to be up for the ride.

    Since manufacturers have swapped out spare wheels for tyre emergency kits, I’ve had three punctures. I’ve never gotten a foam repair kit to actually work. 3 attempts, 3 failures.

    Has anyone actually got a success story with a foam repair kit?

    I’ve bought a spare slim emergency wheel and put it in the wheel well now. Simply cannot be bothered trying and failing with another reinflation foam kit next time a flat tyre occurs.
