if the app is properly tested memory issues won’t happen

yeah, no, not really

https://security.googleblog.com/2024/09/eliminating-memory-safety-vulnerabilities-Android.html

the percentage of memory safety vulnerabilities in Android dropped from 76% to 24% over 6 years as development shifted to memory safe languages

I'm a bit confused. If you're a Junior dev, don't you have mentors in your team, in your company? They will know the projects and environments of what is needed in that environment.

"give me a specific, clear idea of what skills I might need to have" depends very much on context and goals.

Does it need more than the borrow checker if it's a game changer?

seems to be having the opposite effect

unfortunately not for the Steam Reviews overall

is a service or product receiver only a customer if they are paying money?

and Firefox still does not have proper PWA support

I recently had to learn about that, targeting PWA. :(

When I read "you can install an extension for it" I thought that would be simple enough. But that extension then requires an additional Firefox installation which causes it's own share of problems. (Comparatively complicated setup process despite simple walkthrough wizard with installer integration, program shortcuts being added, Firefox onboarding being triggered in the PWA.)

Using Mitchell's donation we'll be able to to offer Jacob Young a full time schedule. As a reminder, he's the primary author of the C backend, x86 backend, LLDB fork that adds Zig support, and maintains the eZ80 toolchain on the side, all without even having the ability to bill full time yet!

If Firefox was a better funded and more competent alternative to Chrome we wouldn’t even have this whole Manifest v3 mess since Chrome would just lose all their users.

I don't think that's an issue of competency - which I understand as functionality/feature parity in this wording.

Chrome gained and became this popular likely entirely due to Marketing and big-corp ecosystem network effect through pushing it - through Google, Google Docs, and related Alphabet services.

I don't think Firefox was every really inferior. I've always preferred the dev tools and a few other things over Chrome. There was merely a time where performance was worse, but that likely only mattered in benchmarks - and marketing.

I agree. The split and collective nature makes it hard to assess and fundamentally support though - which is what I was referring to in one point.

It's a statement of support of minorities. I think that's a pretty good, fair reason, and not "just to cause drama".

Not making a statement is letting the original statement stand.
