Preferably something Hybrid/Remote.

Thanks to everyone who I worked with on the Rust standard library and language. It has been a pleasure. Our paths will definitely cross again. 💛

I'm excited to find something new that gives me energy and motivation. Most likely, that new thing will have something to do with Rust, but I don't know yet what exactly that will be. Maybe teaching Rust, or writing another book, or solving #burnout in open source.. we'll see. :)

I'll probably still be occasionally reviewing and contributing, but I don't have any energy left to stay involved as much as I used to. At least for now.

I'll still be a member of the Rust project, as part of the leadership council and organization of the Rust All-Hands 2026.

After five years, I'm stepping down as team lead and member of the #rustlang library teams. It's been a wonderful time and a pleasure seeing the teams grow and evolve in these years.

Happy 10 year anniversary to this tweet! Has memory safety in C++ been solved yet?

A tweet from @CppCon from 22 september 2015: "Herb Sutter says we are close to solving memory safety in C++ without runtime overhead. #CppCon"

I urge companies to take funding contributors seriously, in ways that aren’t tied to projects and goals. Being a generalist in the compiler meant that often I wasn’t working towards a roadmap, but my contributions *always* paid off in the long term extensibility of the language.

Reddit keeps showing me ads: "Find your perfect gamer boyfriend. Use our new dating app for gamers".

You'd think it'd be easier to correctly profile my account that's joined zero gaming subreddits and several lesbian subreddits. 🤔

Earlier this week, we as #RustWeek organizers came together for a dinner party to celebrate the success of RustWeek 2025 and make the first plans for 2026!

What would you like to see at #RustWeek2026? What should we keep the same and what should we change?✨

Excited to see you all again next year.💛

On top, letters made out of powdered sugar spell out RustWeek.

I guess this explains all the segfaults I've gotten from Rustc recently. 😅

Thank you all so much for coming to #RustWeek. I had a fantastic week. Organizing it was so much fun. Seeing all the ideas come to life and watching hundreds of people having a good time was magical. ✨️ See you next time.
