      These are exactly the people it will replace.

      The question is, which one will write shittier code that the rest of us need to clean up.

        It is, honestly, the dumbest of the -O flag option, which is why I picked it. I’m sure there are times when it’s useful, but it’s nearly never the right choice.

            Software that runs on embedded systems usually benefits from being small, too.

              As someone who has worked on embedded systems for the past 30 years: It used to be a real big deal, but for the past 10-15 years it hasn’t. We now have fully fledged multi core systems running everything. Even small embedded sensors or actuation controllers are 100+ MHz microcontrollers with oodles of flash and ram.

              Now there has been an interesting turnaround with the whole chip shortage for the past years. All the young folk are at a loss, being used to just putting powerful chips all around willy-nilly. So they turn to the old folk like me to figure out designs with less chips, running busses all over and connecting dumb sensors/actuators to a central processing unit.

      Imma let you finish but Nix had the best repeatable, declarative, deterministic dependency management of all times…of all times.

      1950s

      A: The transistor I made using your blueprint doesn’t switch properly at 12V.
      Maker of Blueprint: The one I made, works at 12V.
      B: I’mma make standard transistors.

      why?

      Blueprint was made by a person in the tropics.
      A was in Europe
