ANNOUNCING TIMCLICKS.DEV Your source learning Rust creatively - videos, tutorials, coaching and more. Check it out!

Hello, Internet. Sorry that I haven't been here for a while. It turns out that burnout can get as bad as they say. How are you doing?

@j4w8n @lydiahallie I will take a peek :)

@timClicks Hard to go wrong with anything from @lydiahallie

Do you have any examples of instructional tech videos that you really like? I'm looking it at increasing the quality of mine and would love to know examples of formats that work well.

@0xLoopTheory @MutoriumLabs @exercism_io @jonhoo It looks like you're having fun! Jon's thoughts are always so valuable.

138/1001 🧪 7h — zk-mutant (@MutoriumLabs) 🧩 2 tasks — @exercism_io (Rust practice) 🎧 0.75h — Compose podcast: “Reliable software: An interview with Jon Gjengset” by @timClicks with @jonhoo Another amazing day of progress. Deep work on zk-mutant, sharpening my Rust fundamentals with Exercism, and then listening to Jon talk about building reliable software — all of it points in the same direction: write better tools, write better code, think more carefully. Really enjoying this phase a lot. Still learning every day, still building, still committed. #1001Days #MutationTesting

@isDineshHere No, I just have a tendency to half-finish sentences 😅. I will update the post when I get a moment

@timClicks Don't know if it's just my browser but it seems there's an entire sentence cut-off. What are you hiding from us? Did you run out of tokens? :)

Not all safe Rust code is equally safe. Here's what that means and why I argue that Rust has a spectrum of safety rather than one that's binary as indicated by the unsafe keyword. Notes from "Pointer Poker" and more: Levels of safety beyond the safe/unsafe dichotomy patreon.com/posts/145552268

@usgraphics Gemini has copied this and somehow made it worse. The attempted pithy jokes are not worth it.

Claude code is an amazing piece of software, except for this tchotchke: "Caramelizing..." or "Razmattizing..." Please allow me to turn this off and replace it with "Processing..."

The Axiom level is really fascinating to me. This isn't something that exists in the Rust language, but I suspect that it will emerge. Some parts of Rust are so safe that they essentially require no further review.

@virullius AI agents be like:

Prediction: the next wave of programming languages will just be AI prompts. Someone's just released ai_bindgen (github.com/germangb/ai-bi…) into the Rust ecosystem, which allows annotation to create functionality with natural language:

@__calabash__ USD $7/month :)

@timClicks I defs would have paid for all of the above when I was employed and had an education allowance. Depending on the price I'd pay now too

Hi pocket friends 👋, I have been thinking about offering something that people could expense with their training budget (while also learning a lot, obviously!).. Idea: monthly 30-90min deep dive to people on a paid tier of my Patreon.
