"For the foreseeable future, the Go team will stop pursuing syntactic language changes for error handling. We will also close all open and incoming proposals that concern themselves primarily with the syntax of error handling, without further investigation."

Many thanks to @kcd.istanbul team for having me this year. Starting to spread the word for the @rust-lang.org‬ Operator SDK plugin was very important for me, and I am glad that I could do it at a KCD event in the city where I live. #rust #kubernetes #operators

It was a nice suprise to see Rust in action in the season 4 of #HowToSellDrugsOnlineFast #Netflix series. In Rust we tRust:)

I started to use the bookmark that my daugther designed and handcrafted for me, for my #rust readings. Cool, right?🤗

ADHD Jesse @adhdjesse.com · Mar 6

One of the hardest things to explain to people without ADHD:

• when it’s interesting, I can start on it
• when it’s uninteresting, I can’t

Note that the second one is not “I don’t want to.” I literally CAN’T.

I have to convince my brain it is interesting to even get started.

Working on something that will make my new Crustacean charm-buddy more meaningful. Hoping to announce it soon as I am a few steps away from what I initially thought. #kubernetes #operators #operatorsdk #kubebuilder

I've been experiencing Rust generics, trait bounds, and their lifetimes for some time as a newbie Rustacean. It is both fun and not fun:)

🚀 Excited to share an intro to a tutorial of mine: "Testing Kafka Applications with Testcontainers"! 🧪🐳 on @AtomicJarInc blog. 🔍 Testing in app dev is crucial. You can't skip it! But ever wondered about the right balance between debugging & writing tests? Let's dive in! 👇
