I interviewed the creators of Rust! 🦀 (and a new video for you)
I’m really excited that I FINALLY found the time and energy to put this video together!
Ciao!
It's been an incredibly exciting time, and I'm thrilled to share some updates with you, from recent travels to a brand new video and what's new!
My experience at RustConf 2025
I've just returned from RustConf in Seattle, and it was quite a trip! I was honored to participate in two official roles: as a speaker and one of the conference's content creators. This was a new experience for me, and I loved it. I spent my time recording interviews with brilliant minds in the Rust community, even with the creators of the language!
I'm currently editing all the footage and will share it with you very soon.
New Video: "Why Should I Learn Rust?"
I'm excited to have finally published a video that answers the question I get asked more than any other. It’s not about lifetimes or the borrow checker, but something more fundamental: "Why Rust?"
I've distilled hundreds of conversations into a 5-minute, watchable video designed to convince you (and maybe your JavaScript-loving friends) to dive into the fantastic world of Rust.
After you watch, comment, and let me know if this was the final push you needed! 🦀
Upcoming Events & Future Plans
Meet Me in Dallas! I will attend the Commit Your Code conference on September 25-26, 2025. I'd love to connect for a quick chat if you plan to be there. Just come and say hi!
Hacktoberfest is Coming: I'm deep in planning mode for Hacktoberfest. The theme will be about contributing to open source and making our GitHub profiles look fresh. More on that soon!
