Downvote me into oblivion or whatever: It's not relevant to me in the slightest whether you built it in Rust or not, or even Python, Go, Java, Node, PHP etc. There is lots of great and terrible, fast and slow software written in each. OP might only have 3 months of programming experience for all I know.
Why is "made with Rust" any more relevant than "made with Go" to an end user of a software product? It just doesn't matter.
The DevOps team at my company wants to hire a replacement for a very talented engineer. They’ve been interviewing candidates. The board got wind of it and someone not in their team decided they needed an AI Engineer, which is absolutely not what they want. So to release the funds they have been forced to change the job description and go after a different type of role altogether. It’s complete nonsense.
It's much more comfortable to be the person that "could be X" than to be the person that tries to actually do it.
It’s much more impressive to say you have done something than to say you’re going to do it.
A friend of mine has all these failed hobbies he tells everyone he’s going to do, then gives up on. I wait a few months before telling people I’m doing something so I’m fairly confident it’s something I will carry on.
I’ve been writing Go for nearly 4 years and work on a team with senior Go engineers. Concurrency is the language feature people seem to talk about most when talking about Go, and yet we use it so rarely; usually it’s just a second pass optimisation rather than something thought about from the start.
That “I’m glad I lived my life as I lived it” line (or something to that effect) you hear criminals like these say is sickening. They acknowledge what they did was bad and express no remorse for the clear destruction they caused to other people’s lives. It’s cowardly and he should serve much longer in prison.
Your account is clearly a new one, created so you could so argumentatively reply to this post. Your responses don't make you sound so nearly as clever as you think.
Many of the highly upvoted posts of the last ~month have been about "vibe engineering" and "context engineering". The comments on these posts suggest an air of enthusiasm one doesn't see on posts about programming.
consider a more nuanced question
As a long-time poster here I simply do not agree.
I disagree with you on both
Your rationale?
By using AI to automate things you once did manually, you are:
- Helping a model do something better you were once able to do (and get someone to pay you to do). Such a time may arise when your input is no longer required.
- Propagating the idea that such things no longer require the skill they once did.
- Propagating the idea that it doesn't take you as long to do something you once did, begging the question why employers would pay you as much as they once did.
- Failing to continue to learn as you once did (that numerous studies have since confirmed; people who use generative AI don't exhibit the same critical thinking as those who don't).
I've been writing code professionally for over a decade and love it. Generative AI has rather (un)ironically taken from me much of what I used to love about it.

I'm aware there are some naming constraints due to the underlying mobile filesystems not liking certain characters. This might be why it's not syncing fully for you? I haven't had any other major issues yet.
