makes perfect sense bc in a world ruled by big corpos, govs are captured and work in their interests, so they become hostile to SMBs. > Exempting small business could easily be viewed as hostile / corrupt regulation disfavouring lar

your "physics" grounding is exactly why it feels so odd - software is by its nature anti-physicalist math and logic are closer to a basis for software abstraction - but they were scary to business people so a "fake language&q

what's the modern "absolute beginner's guide to async in Rust" - ideally something dense that can bring someone motivated from beginner to expert in ~1 week of intense hacking on it?
