"Everyone is vibe-coding CRUD apps but they can't vibe-code kernels, compilers and databases"
Yeah bro we all know that 2 years ago before Claude everyone who wrote CRUD apps by hand was also perfectly capable of writing kernels, compilers and databases by hand, right?
DHH is fundamentally right about Rust. For context, Vercel has been undergoing a Rust-ification (carcinization, technically 🦀) for a while.
One of the first projects we migrated was Turborepo, from Go to Rust¹. The migration completed, but the RoI was actually quite controversial internally.
While Rust was in our eyes better for low-level OS access, something crucial for a build system like Turbo, the human migration costs were very sustantive.
Go is very fast. It's beautifully designed. It's easy to iterate on. We were very conflicted about the migration, because it was *humans* writing the code, *even if we knew Rust was a better choice*.
The calculus has now changed. What's "best for humans" is no longer necessarily "best for business".
FWIW, it's also quite unlikely that Rust is the end-all-be-all toolchain. I'm quite certain there's greener pasture ahead, because Rust itself was designed before the 'supersonic tsunami' of agents hit.

I don't think most people understand how batty things had gotten in Linux land. But it just won't matter much longer. When we have sovereign, sensible alternatives, I say let the anti-AI communes crash-out till the cows come home.
Hey Anthropic. You guys have given me a lot of subsidized compute. In return, I'll give you an example of how to make announcements like this without burning all your good will with developers.
"Back in May, we did a one-month promotion where we increased the weekly rate limits for Claude Code by 50%. We've extended this promotion multiple times since, but sadly, it must come to an end on September 14th.
We know that this will impact the work of many users. We've run the numbers and found that we are able to make a permanent increase of 25%. This nets out to a 17% decrease from the limits as they are today.
We understand this is a big hit for a lot of users. We hate making changes like this. We're doing everything in our power to secure more compute to improve availability of Claude.
We do have some good news. When these changes go live on September 14th, we will be removing the separate weekly limit for Fable, so you will now be able to use your full limit with your preferred Claude model."
