As a fan and user of Zig I found the original post embarrassing, but chalked it up to the enthusiasm of a new user discovering the joy of something that clicked for them

Taking offense to that enthusiasm and generating this weirdly defensive and uninformed take is something else, though

Edit: Apologies, it looks like I misunderstood. Original response left below for posterity.

It's not "weirdly defensive and uninformed" to question the value of posting a bunch of inaccurate LLM slop, especially without any disclosures.

If you're pro-AI, you should be against this too, before these errors get used as training data.

I think you are misunderstanding, they are calling TFA a defensive and uninformed reply to the pro-Zig post from yesterday.

Ohhhh, my apologies, then.

I can see how you would have read it that way, now, but yes — I meant this article is defensive for no reason while being uninformed
