Taking away some of the more monotonous and "uncreative" tasks in any job can be taking away some of the variety in the work. Variety is nice. Variety affords us downtime. As the job gets stripped down to its core function, while

Rust requires discipline too. I can go around using Arc, Rc and .clone() everywhere without upsetting the borrow checker, I can use let mut a bunch and pretend if, match, etc. aren't expressions. This results in worse code, and Rust di

I keep seeing people all over the internet adding the caveat that the data centres are necessary in comments following stories about rollout (and often the stories themselves). But never why that's the case. So the question is why are

I am grateful they left it at "inspired by python", as I find python with its libraries and all its warts strangely complex and indigestible. Then, from a tooling and ecosystem perspective, wildly frustrating and unfriendly to wor

Amdahl's law states that "the overall performance improvement gained by optimizing a single part of a system is limited by the fraction of time that the improved part is actually used". For anyone else who didn't know.
