no, this is a person who understands what is there. People who imagine something else is there, are disappointed when it's not.
People who try to invent the new new, and don't complete the task, blame unix, when unix just does what unix said it would do. It was the people who made bigger claims but did not deliver who should step up and say "I didn't turn the unix environment into what I thought I did."
but people trying to invent the new new are trying to invent it on unix because unix delivers what it promises. It doesn't deliver what you promise. But have some humility, and accept your failure and don't try to pin it on unix. Go implement on Windows.
Unix does allow you to deliver what you promise, that's why you'll still be complaining about unix 10 years from now, but it's up to you to deliver what you promise.
people who say "footgun" are people who try to shed responsibility; "it wasn't my fault, waaaaaah". I'm not saying we should not make computers easier to program, I'm saying that when we fail to: "it's a poor worker who blames his tools."
Why is it so important to you to blame this on unix, when you could blame it on a mistaken implementation of a library that could be fixed?
The words "blame" and "guilt" do not even appear in the article, and "fault" only as part of "segfaulting". Rachel merely points out an easy-to-make mistake before others make them, to save them time. She isn't talking about who is to blame. No need to get defensive.
