The duality of

"hmm i wonder if i can write code that tries to access the sixth item in a list of five items"
c compiler: sure, here's a program that'll probably segfault but occasionally won't
rust compiler: you bumbling fool. you dunce. you worm. you pathetic insect

An interesting, well-reasoned counter to the myth that "mail is hard", including the importance of #SelfHosting for the health of #email (if you're technical enough to run services), just like a large network of ActivityPub servers (Mastodon, Pleroma, etc) help strengthen the #fediverse:
https://poolp.org/posts/2019-08-30/you-should-not-run-your-mail-server-because-mail-is-hard/

The short version is in the disclaimer and end:
> Self-hosting mail is not HARD but requires WORK, which are two different things. Setting up a mail infrastructures requires a lot of initial work, then basic long term maintenance.
> We need to reclaim mail. I’m not saying people shouldn’t be hosted at Big Mailer Corps, but these should not become the Pavlovian reaction to “where do I get an e-mail address ?”.
