Beginning with work year with a hackathon
An excuse to further my Rust learning, and work with a couple of engineers who know more than me on the topic, I learned a lot. Types provide so much, it would be unwise to forget their power and place (felt rusty after years away!)
Some links I found helpful:
- https://github.com/rochacbruno/py2rs
- https://google.github.io/comprehensive-rust/
- into_rust(): screencasts for learning Rust
Commentary:
Things I’ve been reading
- Reverse Prompt Engineering for Fun and (no) Profit - Notion’s use of ChatGPT has been backward-engineered. Interesting to see prompts powering product features.
- 200M Twitter Profiles, With Email Addys, Dumped on Dark Web for Free - more fun times for Twitter
- General Guidance When Working as a Cloud Engineer - General good advice on engineering work heading into the new year.
- The 100 Year Computer - computer as heirloom would be a wonderful thing. I hope my notes at least become something I can pass along
- Alex Horne on the Secret to His Cult Show Taskmaster
I’ll be reading Neuromancer
Book club’s next pick. Read it years ago, looking forward to it, remember it being great and I read Gibson’s amazing Pattern Recognition last year.
I got a Steam Deck
Excited to check it out
