The best way to learn
👋 This page was last updated ~13 years ago. Just so you know.
“The best way to learn is to just go out and make stuff, collaborate with people who are better than you at different things, and experiment.”
“That’s what I’ve found, at least. Just be around people who are awesome and learn off them. Trade ideas around and try stuff.”
“Everything I do, I’ve learned from friends, collaborators, people I look up to, and personal experiments. Just going out and trying stuff.”

Proc macro support in rust-analyzer for nightly rustc versions
I don’t mean to complain. Doing software engineering for a living is a situation of extreme privilege. But there’s something to be said about how alienating it can be at times.
Once, just once, I want to be able to answer someone’s “what are you working on?” question with “see that house? it wasn’t there last year. I built that”.
Instead for now, I have to answer with: “well you see… support for proc macros was broken in rust-analyzer for folks who used a nightly rustc toolchain, due to incompatibilities in the bridge (which is an unstable interface in the first place), and it’s bound to stay broken for the foreseeable future, not specifically because of technical challenges, but mostly because of human and organizational challenges, and I think I’ve found a way forward that will benefit everyone.”
