My skill prevents bugs, unlike your fancy compiler, peasant. (programming.dev)

"Rust's compiler prevents common bugs" So does skill. No offense to you, but, this trope is getting so tiresome. If you like the language then go ahead and use it. What is it with the rust crowd that they have to come acrosslike people trying to convert your religion at your front door?

Oh yes, it's so very human nature. But damn.

Most coders get the message at least a bit, I think. Other engineers have a reputation for massive egotism, software engineers don't really.

    That's a joke right?

    Well, it's possible I'm missing something, or that there's a different reputation actually in the industry, since I'm an amateur. The first stereotypes I think of are unkempt, caffeine-dependent and socially inept.

    When I've seen people asking for help online, traditional engineers seem much more likely to flex their credentials and then not actually answer. Although there's definitely software examples as well.
