Its so amazing to see a great engineer like Jon answer all these diverse questions candidly.

Jon is the best, and so generous with his time. Thanks Jon, your work and generosity are deeply appreciated 🙏🏼

I find a lot of value in these Q&As. Just hearing someone more experienced talking about their stances on some topics, or just sharing their experiences is just insightful. Thank you

Senior people feeling they know better - what does it mean for someone to be an expert? It doesn’t mean that person is always right, or that his opinions should be treated as dogma, no. An expert is an expert because he can easily prove his ideas to be right. It’s the ability to convince others *and* be proven right in production.

Beautiful morning in Barcelona, with a good cup of coffee, and Jon just dropped a stream :) Life cannot get better than this.

Welcome back! its great watching your streams again, every minute of the vod was extremely valuable. (btw, i dont skip a single question during these Q&As), keep it up and i hope you have a great day.

@someoneelse6976 11 ай бұрын

Thanks for sharing! Thanks for the video, Jon! I enjoy it! BTW, one of the reason why I enjoy and love it (and all others), especially "not so technical" ones like this is because of the language (your clean and clear pronounciation). Helps me not only learn Rust, but also increases my English listening skills! : ))

As another B-type person I relate to the pain of having to wake up _way_ earlier than my body wants to. When my company started enforcing RTO I had to start working up at 7am to make it to work on time. The first month was probably the least productive of my entire career.

how did you study databases during your PhD? did you analyze the SQLITE code, how did you analyze it?

@VivekYadav-ds8oz 11 ай бұрын

Some of your Crust of Rust would really benefit from some updates since they've become old. Primarily Async/Await videos. I feel like more could've been talked about there, like how would you build an executor, say. Not because that's what people want to do, but because async/await still feels somewhat magic without it.

@GTS00000 10 ай бұрын

Important question: What is the make and model of this chair? Looks very comfortable!

1:11:17 CONFIRMED Jon IS familiar with grass, and has potentially even touched it! (Obviously kidding around; love your content Jon; you are an inspiration to be a great engineer to me!)

you might consider turning off auto-exposure since you have a static camera view - it adds some flickering and weird coloring

I work in the security/cryptography space as a Rust engineer. The company is only a couple years younger than the v1.0 of Rust, and leadership is very happy with their choice to build the company with Rust. It's a perfect fit for the space.

@codyhartman3358 11 ай бұрын

What products do you build? Have been a software / security engineer for years and swapped to cloud engineering last year, kinda bored, and would love to what people are using rust for

@HalfMonty11 11 ай бұрын

53:05 I feel very similarly about CoPilot... I actually worry about the state of software development where the developer doesn't need to actually know the details of how the code he's writing works and it becoming a crutch. I can foresee a future where similar to how many Cashiers can't actually make change for a purchase in their head and just read what the computer says thanks to calculator being so readily available, software developers will be unable to write code from scratch without a constant jab from some AI tool telling you what your next step is and how to do it. In both cases, once you remove the tool, productivity then halts because the person loses the ability to work without the... crutch. That said... "know thy enemy" right? so I've installed it and played around with it and as for now, it's mostly annoying. It interrupts my normal LSP suggestions and messes up auto imports and line endings and closed brackets... but it is good at one and only one thing, true boilerplate. It can go one step beyond a normal LSP in that it knows what you just wrote in some other file and will suggest related or similar things to what you just wrote, speeding up your ability to put type it out. Beyond that, I can count on one hand the amount of times it has suggested code that actually applied to what I was doing, worked without tweaking and accomplished what I was trying to accomplish. The auto completion of boilerplate is nice but fighting it when I want normal LSP autocompletion is annoying and makes it not worth it.

@jon, why rust is not standardise just like C language ? I am interested to know your view.

>pay u in crypto cause i don’t believe it has value i mean as long as u trust usdc u can immediately swap into it and get it sent to ur bank account thru a variety of off-ramps? i’m probably biased bcuz work in web3 but that’s just a weird statement lmao, like you can sell it right now to your bank so by definition it has value 😢

Getting 450k a year and starting Patreon? Oof… I don’t know if you realize how much money normal people make, even in IT? I’m a principal SE with 25 years of experience and I’m making 70k eur a year. And compared to non-IT people, I’m rich and leading a luxurious way of life.
