I had the pleasure of listening to this in person, I highly recommend the talk!

My 2 Rust week talks are out now: youtu.be/4yTZ1PRJ6do?... youtu.be/T-ZUkwNsK-8?... Hope you enjoy them - if you have any questions / comments, feel free to ask! Link to the project the talks are about: github.com/FractalFir/r...

Imagine running "cargo update" without fear, knowing it could never break your #rustlang code. What would that look like, and what will it take? Find out in my #RustWeek talk! www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUN5...

Experienced #rustlang engineers never break SemVer. Nobody needs cargo-semver-checks — just be more careful </s> I even *had left myself a note* that the next release needs to be a major bump. Too bad I only saw the note after cargo-semver-checks stopped the publish job!

Late to posting this here, but I wrote out a little blog post about my plans for Google Summer of Code 2025! Check it out: glitchlesscode.ca/posts/2025-0... #rustlang #GSoC2025

kinda excited tbqh

A big goal I had at pycon was to ask @simonwillison.net to let me pay him to get a monthly update on the AI world so I both don’t feel terribly behind and also don’t need to read tons of rehashes of the same news. I got my wish. You should join me! simonwillison.net/2025/May/25/...

I am disappointed in the AI discourse steveklabnik.com/writing/i-am...

This is real good

i might be looking for a new role, staff developer, remote uk/us tef.computer i am pretty good at the whole "fixing distributed systems" stuff but i'm also pretty good at the "levelling up a team" stuff too

🎂 Rust turns 10 today! 🎂 To mark the anniversary of Rust 1.0, we’re excited to share a reflection by Graydon Hoare, the initial author of Rust. It’s a story of infrastructure, community, and extraordinary collaboration. Read Graydon's guest blog here: rustfoundation.org/media/10-yea...

🎉 Rust turns 10! What a decade for us all 🥳 To celebrate, we’ve curated 10 must-watch talks from EuroRust. Let’s kick things off 👇 🧵 1/11

Update on the Rust Vision Doc, by @nikomatsakis.com, @timclicks.dev, and Jack Huey Day 2 of #RustWeek closing strong!

The movie buff in me and the Rust developer in me approve. #rustweek

RustWeek has started! 🦀 🎉 #RustWeek #Rustlang

Excited for day 1 of #RustWeek! So many good talks coming up 🤩 If you like cargo-semver-checks (and especially if you fund it on GitHub Sponsors!), find me in the hallway — I have something for you 👀

Two dramatic speedups in a week. Better blog about it xd009642.github.io/2025/05/08/T...

Join the party! We opened the ticket sales for the 10 Years of Rust Celebration on May 15 2025, the 10th anniversary of Rust's first stable release. Info & tickets: lnkd.in/e2df7RUB #rustweek #rustlang

Hello Friends! I'm on the job market now! I have a oodles of knowledge for all the software performance engineering tricks in Rust, Julia and other systems languages and would love to work with teams that are looking to skill up in those respects, from back ends to big data crunching!

Games can be sense-making tools, allowing players to vicariously experience the risks of contracting COVID-19, recognize #LongCOVID’s most challenging symptoms, and connect with others amid an ongoing public health crisis. Read more from @kaatefishman.bsky.social: bit.ly/4iQhmuE

The Open Source software ecosystem is built on unpaid labour. This is why we're celebrating the @opensourcepledge.com member companies that #paythemaintainers to create a healthy Open Source ecosystem. Huge thanks to Nasdaq and everyone who made this possible. ❤

Yesterday, @opensourcepledge.com was on Nasdaq Tower in Times Square. I got to be there for it! Thank you to Nasdaq and congratulations to all of the featured companies who #paythemaintainers! 👏 What a great way to keep celebrating #maintainermonth! 💃

Predrag’s work on cargo-semver-checks is really useful and you should sponsor him if you can! github.com/sponsors/obi...

So I don't have the energy to redo the entire thread about the papal conclave but I will redo the part about the Latin nerdery: the announcement of a new pope is always in Latin, and uses a very traditional form.

Any skilled developer can write perfectly memory-safe code in C and C++, it’s just too bad that the world is fresh out of skilled developers.

1804. Oceans are now Battlefields. In the South China Sea a British convoy worth almost £1bn today is spotted by the French. It should be a massacre. Instead, Commodore Nathanial Dance is about to defeat a French battle squadron using some paint and the most overplayed hand in #navalHistory. /1 🧵

We’re excited to share that the @rustconf.com CFP deadline has been extended to May 6! As the proud host of this year’s event, the Rust Foundation invites you to submit a talk and help highlight the global strength and creativity of the Rust community. 🦀✨

Reminder that the RustConf CFP closes tonight! I know most of us procrastinate until the last minute 😅 While you're at it, consider also submitting to Rust Forge and EuroRust 👀 If you're excited about a topic, I want maximum odds of hearing you talk about it at a #rustlang conference!

Incidentally, this is why I worry about the dominant position of AI critics on this site that "AI doesn't work and is just a scam" It absolutely does work, in good ways (controlled studies on education, medicine) and in ways that create risks & problems. Pretending AI isn't real is a big mistake.
