So many requests based on vanity and hype... I like the question "when you go to other websites do you use it?", we should use it more. Maybe at some point we'll realise that simplicity matters.

More in depth look at the launch white paper and the issues covered in the PR. Not much survives scrutiny... there's nothing special with this model.

Are we surprised it's mostly a PR stunt? Not at all. Of course, I agree a lot with the conclusion: we can't trust any claim from those companies. They try to present themselves as labs but mostly try to disguise marketing as research...

This bears repeating of course. I still wish our industry would run less on hype. It's not specific to Rust of course.

Indeed, there's no rush. No need to be first to jump on every new fashion.

This was stupid hype... Why do we have regularly this kind of fever in our industry?

Just another hype cycle... The developer profession being in danger is greatly exaggerated.

Definitely this, it's not the first time we see such a hype cycle around "AI". When it bursts the technology which created it is just not called "AI" anymore. I wonder how long this one will last though.

Definitely too much hype around large models right now. This over shadows the more useful specialized models.

Good piece about the hype cycles our industry constantly fall into. So much undue complexity for nothing in some projects... and then we'll complain about technical debt. It would have been much easier to pick the right tool instead of wanting to use whatever new got released by some big tech company.

Interesting simple exploration. This seems to confirm that there's a lot of hype all around. Whatever the language, even if it is hot today it probably won't look as fun tomorrow when you'll have to maintain millions of lines of it.
