interestingly, french speakers just have to pronounce "wero" as "nouro" for the same pun to work ("eux-ro" vs "nous-ro")

titling "Building for the Future" the announcement of a mass lay-off is disgusting and makes me sick to be honest

is this really the future we want to build?

it is indeed pretty weird. clippy has a lint against this iirc. it's recommended to just create a custom error type, even if its just an empty struct or a single-variant enum

this lets you implement `std::error::Error`, which you really should to make it less painful when you want to erase the type (`std::error::Error` is `dyn`-compatible)
