One of the things I like about my work is the β€œokay so what?” Asked around every corner. Bullshit is quickly found, and you’re forced to come prepared with data

Right, there are a lot of unintuitive idiosyncrasies I get that, also discrete methods that have no counterpart in other languages. e.g when to use take()? Why does as_deref return X? Etc.
Thanks this is useful for my updates.

py2rs.info - Python to Rust for Developers Learn Rust coming from Python. Tutorials, guides, and resources for Python developers transitioning to Rust.

I released py2rs.info a few weeks ago to help Python developers make the jump to Rust. What's missing that would help you?

That's a good description of what PE's do at AWS.
Looking for the most leveraged way to spend your time is the north star. I try to figure out where the bad smells are and how to figure out a path forward.

The first thing I do when I open a doc is zoom in.

That’s great, I’ll try and be a bit more intentional. Most of the folks I follow are probably skewed to the US which certainly doesn’t help.

Learning a new language isn't a way to increase my leverage.
Learning how to speak to a new cohort or community totally is. Those were some fundamental truths I learnt quite recently that have helped me enormously at AWS.

@civo.com Navigate feels like it might be the next Kubecon for me. Small scale, lots of interesting people, think it's time I put forward a CFP.

If I am reading this correctly, it sounds like you have no legal recourse here?

I wrote something in cursor, and the time I spent wasn't where I anticipated. It got the idea of the codebase and what I was trying to do. What it didn't grok was integration/unit tests failing shouldn't be replaced by wholesale code edits, they exist that way for a reason.
