Rust debugging, decoded. 🧩
Vitaly Bragilevsky took us through DWARF, LLDB, and beyond — making sense of what really happens at runtime.

the thing is, rust can have really fast compile times, but the pervasive use of macros and build scripts obscures that fact. impure proc macros and build scripts are the free parking of the rust ecosystem: benefiting the few at the cost of many
at this point, i think i prefer `go generate` over build dot rs scripts. the latter are too annoying to parallelize and i think codegen is rare enough that being able to run it as an explicit step is worth it for faster/more reliable IDEs

I'm excited to share what I've been working on with @erikjee.bsky.social: RustNL's #rustlang Maintainers Fund!
Many people and companies contributing to Rust, but there are fewer and fewer paid positions for general maintenance (reviews,cleanups,etc). We need to fix that.

We're excited to announce a new initiative to support the Rust Project, our Rust Maintainers Fund!
We are setting out to employ 6 full-time maintainers and 6 interns in 2026 to make sure #rustlang is well maintained and bugs and contributions get the attention they need.

In August, I was interviewed by JetBrains about programming and Rust, ranging from the borrow checker, to agentic coding, to hiring. And it's now on YouTube! It's also general enough that it should be interesting even to those not already knee deep in Rust 😅

Casey Muratori pretty much sums up how I feel about LLMs for coding:
"The AI will always be useless for me. I physically can't get what I want from programming when AI is involved, because what it is doing is robbing me of the experience that I wanted to have and the knowledge that I wanted to get"

The only way to get an approximation of a correct bit of code from an AI is to ask the right questions (i.e., create the correct prompt). It seems to me that, as a profession, we have been struggling to ask the right questions for 80 years now. It's a hard problem.
