Satisfactory will definitely not help your backlog lol. I'm like 240 hours in but I've definitely seen people with like 2000+ hours

2.5 pro is actually wildly good at answering my questions. No wonder it's at the top of the AI benchmarks

I visited Amsterdam for KotlinConf (from the US) a few years ago and was absolutely blown away by the number of areas where you can only walk, the quality of public transit, and both the availability and usage of bike lanes. We need this everywhere

Thanks 😁

I'm also building a rust backend for a project I'm working on with a friend to make the gencon event calendar more user friendly based on this template:

I've done a couple of contributions to projects like utopia, but my biggest project has been a template for building microservices in Rust: github.com/emanguy/rust...

Which definitely means more posts about my open-source Rust work to come 🤙

Unfortunately change doesn't come quickly, but as long as people are willing to fight for what's right it does come eventually ♥️

Venting is always good. At the very least I'm taking comfort in the fact that the people who brought this whole situation to fruition are really starting to feel the effects of their decision which will hopefully drive better outcomes in the future

Just wait till you implement a trait you defined on a 3rd party type or a stdlib type. It's simply the best
May 7, 2025 at 3:17 AM
Yep! That works, just note that because you're destructuring from a reference that you may be setting x and y to be the type &i32 instead of just i32

Pairing that with anyhow allows you to write errors that have a catch-all anyhow variant for library errors and explicit "please handle this" variants for effective communication with other devs on your project
