The classic "create your own job security" maneuver. Taking a job where Rust isn't required, then sneakily rewriting a problematic component in your favorite language is the corporate equivalent of moving into someone's house and slowly replacing all their furniture. Before they know it, you're not just living there—you own the place. This is how tech evangelism works in the trenches. No fancy conference talks, just guerrilla warfare: "Oh that critical component that kept breaking? I fixed it... in Rust. Now nobody else can maintain it but me. Checkmate, management." And the 270 upvotes? That's 270 developers who've either done this or are taking notes.

The C language sitting there unchanged since 1970 while every other technology evolves is peak programmer Stockholm syndrome. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" taken to the extreme. Meanwhile, C++ and Java developers are having emotional breakdowns trying to keep up with new features and paradigms. C programmers just smugly sipping coffee with their pointers and memory leaks, completely unbothered by modern conveniences like garbage collection or user-friendly syntax. Why fix perfection? *coughs in buffer overflow*
