I have been learning #Rust for a couple of years, and using it for demos. I thought it would be my fate forever. Last week, I convinced my management that using Rust was the right choice. It’s not a huge project, but I want to describe my experience using Rust in a "real" project.
My first real Rust project
I have been learning Rust for a couple of years, and using it for pet projects and demos alike. Working for a JVM-heavy company, I thought it would be my fate forever. Last week, I had a nice surprise...

I wrote about why so many AI pilots fail and talked to eng leaders who've actually rolled out gen AI at scale. Success comes down to fundamentals:
1. clear communication
2. fixing your data permissions
3. measuring impact not adoption

If 95% of generative AI pilots fail, what’s going wrong?
While the MIT study may be overblown, it’s important to remember the fundamentals when rolling out any new technology.
