So, writing a RESTful API in #Rust (RUSTful? 🤔 ) has been the thing that made me actually like making APIs. It also seems to perform about 4x faster than if I were to have written it in Java or NodeJS.

Just wrote a URL encoding/decoding library in #Rust for a thing I'm working on. I guess this means I have done professional Rust development now. Coolest part is how, almost accidentally, because of rustdoc it has accurate and really good documentation.

RISC architecture is gonna change everything

I’m watching Hackers for the first time because it’s free on amazon video and holy cow I love this

I just want to give an unprompted shoutout to @tindall because, every time I wonder how something works in Rust while I’m learning it, I pop over to their GitHub and can typically find an example of it at work. You da 💣

If you're learning Rust, I can highly recommend https://newrustacean.com/ .

I typically listen to it while I'm not at a computer so, while it does get technical, it doesn't require you to be following along. Probably the most bitchin thing about the podcast is that the show notes are all written in Rust and generated with rustdoc (documentation is cybrepunk af if you didn't know).

Multiple ways to support the podcast available from the site too, PayPal, Patreon, etc.

I feel like relying on package management systems for dependencies can make me more productive but it rarely makes me better at my job.

Like, half my brain is saying "don't reinvent the wheel" and the other half is saying "how do you know you can't make a better wheel?"

Finally, a blender with code autocompletion! https://cybre.space/media/NkTwJmILXFG7k3dtw_Y
