I’m a techy dad (he/him). I do AV conference design for Amazon, very niche job but pretty chill. Svelte fan. I’m dipping my toes in rust & go lately, but nothing serious, like my opinions.
This is the best write up on async rust I've read so far / clicks for my brain. I have been learning rust this past year & looking at different methods that I could use for managing complex API rate limiting. Thanks!

The stuff I build is so basic day to day, I feel the same way.

I mean, I think these days I'd rather hire someone who responds to messages on slack/whatever and not be top tier leetcoder 😆

Apple simply is making the best laptops, but at this point if I went with a desktop I'd just trick out a framework or do a mini build with a nice graphics card, go the linux OS route. Though content creation is still much better on macOS. The mini is best bang for buck I feel like overall

My 4y old son whispers right into my ear "Mom has patterns. She's a demon" after seeing her belly stretch marks 😂

He sure loves Demon Hunter kpop

Once you start swearing all your oaths with specific expiratory time limits, might be of concern 😋

I try to hand easy wins to my teammates & it feels so good when someone wants it and succeeds. I wished more folks were willing, I still have SO much to learn, I’d kill to jump in on a hard project, ask questions etc.

On one hand, could really speed up TSA. On the other, I’m sure some airports would struggle with bag checkin being the default. Its already a nightmare at my local airport

Work has been very supportive, even with the chaos of layoffs.

I've lost almost all the weight I have gained over the last 4 years since becoming a dad, hope I can keep it off this time!

This gives me a bit less guilt 😆
