I went to the pre-@RustNationUK meetup yesterday and @MarcoIeni's demo highlighted a bug in cargo-quickinstall. I am quite proud of my pub hacking skills.
Does anyone want to take over cargo-quickinstall? github.com/alsuren/cargo-qui…
I finally finished incorporating the feedback from my cargo-quickinstall blog post, ready to share with the world - alsuren.github.io/2022/07/10…
I've been thinking about this since #insulatebritain. Could we legislate to allow tenants to ask their landlords for more insulation, and then charge landlords for the difference between uninsulated and insulated heating bills, if the work takes too long?

I just managed to get @emfcamp tickets. I'm super excited. I've been wanting to go to this for years.
I just spent the afternoon hacking on my personal project with a bunch of new people. 🎉 users.rust-lang.org/t/releas…
Reading this has inspired me to give cargo-quickinstall a bit more love. I have made a plan github.com/alsuren/cargo-qui…

Our treatment of the upcoming generation in our industry was one of the most unpleasant things about my last *two* companies, and one of the most fantastic things about my current company. This is an important topic, and one that needs to be talked about more.

Everything is coming together at @tablyinc. We have continuous deployment and monitoring and runtime feature switches working, so we can start celebrating my wins as soon as they are merged.
Giovanni and Ben added the ability to expand/collapse groups of cells with the same value, in the frontend. It would be great to get early feedback on this one if you try it out.
There is a culture of fuzz testing in Tably already (mostly hand-rolled). I merged my first #[proptest] test using crates.io/crates/test-strate…. I expect we'll see a bunch of our fuzz tests migrate to this or cargo-fuzz in the new year. Shout if you have thoughts on either.
I'm watching a Bridget Riley documentary on the TV, and identifying quite strongly with the descriptions of striving after an artistic goal.
This week was my first week at @tablyinc. It has been challenging and rewarding in equal parts, but I'm already feeling like a valued member of the team.
Yesterday was my last day with @redbadgerteam. I got to eat and drink with people who welcomed me two years ago, and also people who I'd shared formative experiences with over zoom but never met in person. It was an emotional day.
I have been struggling over the last few years with how our industry handles its junior members. I just stumbled across this video, and it touched that part of me again. Now I need to go and have a bit of a cry. m.youtube.com/watch?v=CV5CjU…
Quite pleased with myself.
ALT Image shows an electric bike with its back wheel held off the floor for maintenance using a contraption made of rope and three planks of pallet wood, resting on fence railings.
I started writing prose again recently for work, and remembered how enjoyable it is. It has inspired me to start doing the blog thing again. alsuren.github.io/
It's currently just a minimum-effort Jekyll blog. It doesn't currently have RSS or anything, but that can be added. Drop a reply here if that's a thing you would like.
