- Rust will save Linux from C’s inherent security weaknesses.
- Linux, faced with a flood of AI-discovered security problems, could use the help.
- Going forward, more and more Linux code will be written in Rust.

That problem isn’t even specific to computer science, it’s specific to most engineering fields. Programmers are just extremely good at automating, so they automate themselves out of existence.
At least in Germany, people with higher-education on-average also have more political awareness - but the more engineering their field contains, the more that awareness jumps out of the window (what I mean by that is that of all the people with higher-education, engineers have the highest rate of politically right-leaning people, which in my world-view equates to being incompetent).
Which imo comes from another problem: Computer Science had a huge boom, and now we ended up with a lot of businessmen who can hussle 70h/week to get their degree in 4 semesters, so that they can start their path to their first million. Basically, computer science got invaded by capitalists and the nerds just went to another corner in hopes not to be bothered. Not that they could have done much about it, there are way more capitalists than there are computer nerds.
