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.

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:
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:
