I want to be clear that this is not a reaction to any specific post, just something that I’m thinking about as I’m browsing around.
What do people think about linking to paywalled content? I find it frustrating, personally–but only if I’m not currently paying for the material, because if I am then I’m logged in and likely won’t notice.
Maybe it would be nice to have a guideline, a suggestion, for people posting links to such content as top-level posts to provide a summary (like on this post) for those who don’t have access?
Also, I apologize if this is something that’s been discussed already and decided upon; I’m quite new to Beehaw / Lemmy, and this is on my mind so I figured I’d ask :)
Fortunately, I do know Rust and Postgres, so this may be something I look at. I’ve got some other stuff that’s earlier in the queue, though.
That said, don’t feel bad! These are big, complicated technologies and they take time to learn. I just did my first bit of Rust mentoring at work and it is definitely a challenge, even for experienced devs.
