3. 🌐 Where to get help:
- Reddit's r/rust
- Rust Users Forum
- Rust lang zulipchat

Pro tip: Start with The Book, then move to projects matching your interests - whether systems programming or web dev!

2. 🎓 Must-read Books:
- "Programming Rust" (O'Reilly) - great companion to The Book
- "Rust in Action" - practical systems programming projects

Pro-tip: Your local library might have these! 📖

🔑 Key Takeaway:

With heavy CI/CD usage (>50 build hrs/month on free plans, >75 hrs on paid), self-hosting on AWS becomes ~65% cheaper!

But remember: self-hosting requires setup & maintenance overhead. Choose based on your team's capacity.

GitHub-hosted Runner (ubuntu-latest) specs:
• 4 CPU, 16GB RAM, 14GB storage
• $0.008 per minute after free quota
• Free: 2,000 mins/month (private repos)

Self-hosted AWS (t3.xlarge):
• 4 vCPU, 16GB RAM
• $0.1664/hr + $0.001917/hr (14GB EBS)
• ~$0.0028/min

6/7 And if you still prefer to bring your own hardware, GitHub Actions is free.
Perfect for personal projects and small teams!

5/7 GitHub Actions is free for public repositories using standard GitHub-hosted runners. For private repositories, each GitHub account gets a free monthly quota of 2,000 minutes (more with paid plans).

4/7 Launched in 2018, GitHub Actions has since grown to be fully featured and available for both public and private repositories. Here's the current offering:

3/7 Public open source projects could use 3rd-party tools like Travis CI, but if you had a private project, you were usually stuck spending man-hours setting up your own infrastructure using webhooks on hardware you provided.

2/7 This might sound like an ad for a moment, but as someone who's been diving deep into GitHub Actions lately, I had to share. When I created my GitHub account 14 years ago, this kind of free built-in automation wasn't as available:

Spoiler alert: Roughly 8 hours between initial customer impact reports and full impact mitigation reports

5/5 I'm always looking for ways to improve productivity. What AI features do you find most helpful in your workflow?

4/5 3. Code Explanation 📚

When diving into someone else's code, complex algorithms, or unfamiliar APIs, AI serves as an instant explainer. It breaks down the logic, explains the patterns used, and helps me quickly understand the functionality of the code I'm seeing on the screen.

3/5 2. Code Refactoring 🔄

This is where AI really shines. Instead of fiddling with boilerplate code, I can describe what I want to change, and AI helps restructure the code while maintaining functionality.

2/5 1. Syntax Support 🔍

Whether it's a missing semicolon or incorrectly formatted whitespace that my IDE doesn't catch, AI spots these issues easily and suggests corrections, letting me focus on tackling more challenging problems.

Why? Inside brackets, a hyphen is treated as a range operator unless it's at the start/end. No escaping needed - just position it right!

TIL: Sometimes the simplest solution is the right one. 💡
