Yea, I kept my original comment language-agnostic (Just referring to it as y language) - but added the extra wink to Rust because generally they seem to be the highest offenders.

I have years of experience in loads of languages: PHP, Ruby, Java, Python, C#, C++, Rust - And that's probably how I'd order the level of elitism. PHP Devs know everything they're doing is shit - Python should probably be next in ranking of how shit they are, but they're not self-aware enough - (Sarcastic elitism aside here - )

Anyways, besides that - at the end of the elitism-spectrum there seems to be Rust. Someone like me says something about Rust in a general unrelated-to-Rust thread like this - and a Rust enthusiast sees it, and it would just devolve into a dumbass back-end-forth about how good Rust is

Could you elaborate in what context and to what extend? I can agree that bigger companies with large user-bases should have a focus on accessibility and internationalization -

But generally a lot of projects start with just one dev solving a problem they have themselves and make their solution Open-Source. Anecdotally, I'm dumping my solutions on Github that are already barely accessible to anyone somewhat tech-illiterate. No one is paying me anything for it. Why would I care whether it's accessible or internationalized for non-English speakers?

This. I've had someone in my team that was completely self-taught with no relevant education that was a great dev.

I've also interviewed someone that supposedly had a master degree and a couple of certificates and couldn't remember how to create a loop during the interview.

I don't know how you could properly implement "standardization of qualification and competencies" without just min-maxing it in a way that favors academics

Well sure, it depends on the context. If it's a shitpost on /c/programmer_humor, whatever, meaningless banter.

If it's a serious question, (maybe for a beginner) asking how to do something in their language, and the response is "It would be a lot easier in y language" - I don't think it's particularly helpful

It looks like a bunch of people from biomejs are already working on this:

https://github.com/biomejs/biome/commits/main

Not sure what they're going to do with the money if it's a team effort though

What alternative would you propose? FOSS is barely getting any donations / sponsors - So how are developers supposed to make a living?

Probably less elitism. "Oh you build it in x language? Well that's a shit language. You should use y language instead. We should be converting everything to y language because y language is the most superior language!"

(If this feels like a personal attack, Rust programmers, yes. But other languages as well)

$22k is pretty nice. Through I have no idea what "the prettier JavaScript tests" even means.

Is there a unit-test bootstap project someone could download that verifies this requirement? I'm already too confused deciphering what the contest even is

I'm generally using DataGrip - or MySQL Workbench.

Workbench isn't great and the intellisense barely works, but at least I already know where all the obscure ACL options and such are

How do you stop this? (Sorry I only have paint on this machine)

1. Computer/Network is compromised

2. User requests public key from Server

3. Hacker intercepts it, sends his own public key

4. User tries to connect with "verification" servers

5. Requests get redirected to compromised servers to OK the verification

6. User sends request to Server via Hacker with Hacker PubKey

7. Hacker decrypts it, re-signs it with Server PubKey

8. Sends it to server, gets response

9. Hacker decrypts server response, re-encrypts it with Hacker Private Key

10. Users receives message, can decrypt it with Hacker PubKey, everything looks normal

You're just substituting a local "Chain of Trust" with a server based trust system... Why would you trust that you can securely call the verification servers, and even if you can, why trust the verification servers?

So maybe the solution relies trough a blockchain ?

I don't really see how that would help - but maybe you can elaborate how a blockchain solution would help?
