It's a play on the classic pop hit song "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun"

It's also a joke because girls definitely don't care about "Fast MPMC Queues with Bounded Waiting" at all. We can estimate the HN audience to be ≈95% male.

Hi, author of the blog post here, that was in fact not the joke. I'm a girl, I care. I just like playing off of that song's title.

No offense, but from the mentioned base rates (HN male to female ratio) I would be surprised if you were biologically female.

You can't fathom the idea of women being smarter and more capable than you so you have to resort to shifting the goal post over and over. "No women would ever enjoy this", "No one actually knows a woman that would enjoy this", "Even if you know a woman I bet she's not a biological woman". Glancing over your post history I can see that it's nothing more than posting other people's work, which considering your miserable understanding of statistics, is a blessing that spares the world from having to bear your idiocy. I'm not going to be talked down to by some good-for-nothing man who has never created anything of value in his life.

I'm not an HN user because this website sucks, I was informed that someone shared my post here by email so I went to check it out and remember why I don't use this site. You're a woman-repellent and this place is full of the likes of you, that's the reason you don't see many women here, and it's the same reason you don't see women in real life.

In summary, since I know you can't handle too many words and summaries are all you read: Go fuck yourself.

If you wanna be pedantic, the set of people who care about fast mpmc queues with bounded waiting is very very tiny across even the whole population of HN, let alone the broader populace. I would posit that <5% of HN even knows what mpmc queues are.

So of any statement of "<X broad group> just wanna have fast mpmc queues" should be obviously taken as a parody.

At which point... why rail on this?

> the set of people who care about fast mpmc queues with bounded waiting is very very tiny across even the whole population of HN

Yes, but even of those who do care the vast majority will obviously be male.

Sure, so what? If OP is a girl and is obviously writing an article about her own interests, what does it matter?

All girls or most girls?

I definitely know some girls who'd love this, and see this as having fun.

That's hard to believe. Then you should know at least an order of magnitude more "boys" who would love this: At an estimated 95% male ratio on HN, 20 times as many. If the "some girls" you "definitely" know are 3, then you would be expected to know about 3x20=60 males who are interested in "fast MPMC queues with bounded waiting", which sounds about equally hard to believe.

Why should anyone care what comments your agent has on code?

> Or add section to explain most common agent comments.

Shouldn't your agent explain its own comments? why would the author of a fast queue care what your agent says?

Because it would not even pass initial code review for most developers. Most people use short review prompt, with yes/no answers.

Imagine the code compilers (or some analysis tool) gives several concurrency and memory warnings. It has easy workaround (just annotate strange code, with links to explanations that this is workaround for low level bugs).

I am too tired of shitty "safe" Rust code, with 'unsafe' section around every library call (not case here, just an example)! Be clear with that, it takes 15 minutes and 10 cents!

This project could have correct concurrent code and design, but around much narrower definitions. But most people will not go too deep with review to find it!

This project was likely not written just to be convenient for you.

And if it's got value for you, hey, it's open source. Spend the 15 minutes and 10 cents, it's a bargain.

> Most people use short review prompt

I don't think this is true at all.

> Most people use short review prompt, with yes/no answers

I don't. I review code by hand, like I have for 20 years. I think you might have some sample bias.

How to get access to your agent?
