“AI” is just a tool like anything else. it is not a god or an end-all, be-all. if we could just stop taking every single cycle of tech bro hypeshittification seriously the world would be so much better off

i've build a lot of stuff over the years and the thing i'm most proud of?
not the robots, not the super low-latency APIs, but a silly Bluesky bot that posts Magic: the Gathering art every hour.
costs next to nothing to run on AWS and all written in Rust.
@moxarcana.com get across it

when i first started writing Rust, i thought i'd be building well-oiled performant libraries that run like with the intricacies of a Swiss watch.
what i end up making is a loud, clunky, diesel-powered monstrosity that's in some desperate need of WD40
but boy does it run well

there exists a company in glasgow that specialised in automated chemistry and AI-discovery of new molecules.
they recently opened a multi-million £££ complex to enable this.
it's funny to think that none of that would have happened if a glass syringe didn't explode in my face

And what hole does rust go in?
Why, the C hole, of course!

so glad I can be learning Rust from the experts at Adobe, their beautiful elegant code is really an inspiration 😊
![impl<'a> From<&'a dyn Stream> for StreamAdapter<'a> {
#[allow(invalid_reference_casting)]
fn from(stream: &'a dyn Stream) -> Self {
let stream = &*stream as *const dyn Stream as *mut dyn Stream;
let stream = unsafe { &mut *stream };
Self { stream }
}

one of my Rust crates is approaching 20k downloads.
now, is 99.9% of those just different registries re-indexing or whatever? yes.
but i don't care, downloads are downloads i guess

What really makes IaC special is that it makes those bugs easily reproducible
Infrastructure as Code is great because it allows you to write infrastructure bugs

this but ignoring the making it fast part because i'm a corvid who gets easily distracted by shiny things and never gets round to making it fast
My current Rust mentality is "Make it work, then make it fast"
Which means i'm writing some of the most horrible and inefficient code ever,
But once it works, and I can get tests to validate it, I can then work on making it faster and not worry too much about getting it correct at the same time.

Which brings us to the age-old question:
Has nobody done this before because it's hard?
Or because it's really fucking stupid?
