Just learned about Pine Martens , while listening to Tanya Reilly's "Staff Engineer's path" book. What cute little creatures they're!

The Rust ecosystem is amazing, but it can be hard to discover new crates. Today @ahl.bsky.social and I will be joined by our colleagues @elizas.website and @sunshowers.io, who will offer their wisdom and walk us through some crates you should know. Join us, 5p Pacific!

I got to know about Alioth today. Looks quite an interesting project, especially their error handling practice (Inspired from GreptimeDB):

I was originally going to call this post “What makes a programming language real?” because I saw some people picking a fight on the internet about this type of topic, yet again, and it got me thinking as to why we even broach the topic in the first place.

Did a deepdive into the Bluesky engineering team: the history and how they work a few months back.
Back then they were 12 engineers, and growing very slow (headcount-wise.) The majority of engineers were former founders (!!!)

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.
We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive
