Endian wars and anti-portability: this again? (dalmatian.life)

The article argues against “anti-portability” thinking in open source, responding to common claims that ports are only for outdated platforms or that big-endian systems are irrelevant. It explains why endianness matters, citing bugs found or exposed only when testing on big-endian or specific 32-bit hardware, and it frames supporting multiple architectures as improving code quality and security. The author concludes that project maintainers should treat community-requested ports as a benefit rather than a burden.
