My new job

Yeah, it's not a side-effect, it's an effect. The immune system learning how to fight off the real thing.

New blog post: Faster Rust builds on Mac

Faster Rust builds on Mac
Did you know that macOS has a secret setting that can make Rust builds faster? It can also make Rust tests faster. It probably even has similar effects for other compiled languages such as C, C++, Go,...

New blog post: Speed wins when fuzzing Rust code with `#[derive(Arbitrary)]`

nnethercote.github.io/2025/08/16/s...
