Conway's Game of Life and Turing reaction-diffusion patterns, running as pub-sub message pipelines. No application code. Just TOML config, a Rust engine, and marketplace primitives. https://github.com/Govcraft/emergent #rustlang

I ran AI agents against my consulting books for a year. The AI worked. The software kept breaking — duplicate imports, unbalanced entries, prose errors an agent can't parse. beankeeper is accounting infrastructure built for agents first. https://www.rodriguez.today/articles/accounting-for-agents

Just shipped `ofx-rs` — a Rust parser for OFX bank statement files. Handles both SGML v1.x and XML 2.0, parses real-world Mercury bank exports, deals with implicit close tags and timezone offsets so you don't have to. Early but working. Toss it a ⭐ if it's useful. 🦀 github.com/Govcraft/ofx-rs

System design tip. Removing capabilities from components is more powerful than adding them. Constrain what each piece can do, enforce it at the boundary, and useful properties emerge you'd otherwise have to build by hand.

Added to the hammock queue.

Cool beans.

My #Rust crate "Magic Type ID" (MTI) is now v1.0! 🎉 Opaque UUIDs (f47ac...) make logs & APIs a guessing game. MTI gives you human-readable, type-safe IDs like user_01h45.... Globally unique, K-sortable, and way clearer for debugging. 🦀🚀 Grab it: crates.io/crates/mti Toss a ⭐: github.com/GovCraft/mti

Back on Bluesky and finally got Acton Reactive to v1. Message-passing with agents, Tokio, no locking nonsense. Docs are finally updated too. If you’re into Rust concurrency without the headache, might be worth a peek. 🦀🚀 #rustlang #rust #opensource #coding github.com/GovCraft/act...

AI coding assistants struggle with Rust's fast-moving ecosystem, often suggesting outdated APIs. 😩 Built this MCP server so tools like (Cursor, Roo, Claude etc.) can query current crate docs directly before generating code. Give it a try & ⭐ if useful! 🦀🚀 #rust #ai #mcp github.com/Govcraft/rus...

Hey Bluesky peeps 👋 Been offline here since the end of '24 dealing with a bumpy start to the year (life stuff!). Dipping my toes back in. Onwards!

["🎄 Merry Christmas, World!", "🕎 Happy Hanukkah, World!", "🌟 Joyous Kwanzaa, World!", "✨ Happy Holidays, Everyone!"] .iter() .for_each(|message| println!("{}", message)); #rustlang #helloworld #spreadlove

Thanks @seanmonstar.com for all the hard work you put into hyper. 👍🏽🦀 daniel.haxx.se/blog/2024/12...

UC Berkeley team just unveiled an LLM-powered C-to-safe Rust translator—automating the leap from legacy C to modern, safe Rust. No manual rewrites. Continued research like this will redefine secure systems development. Thoughts? 🚀 🦀

A great reminder that sometimes less really is more. Love stumbling on gems like this in the #rustlang ecosystem! 🚀

Day 17 of #AdventOfCode2024 kept me humble. Spent a couple of hours wrestling with Part 2, but no dice. Probably missed some tiny detail. I must have put a decimal point in the wrong place or something. #CodingLife #rust

Asked for help and gotten the wrong fix? You might’ve hit the X/Y problem: asking about your attempted fix (Y) instead of the real issue (X). Example: ❌ "How do I shrink a file for email?" ✅ "I need to send a large file to a coworker." Tip: Share the full story. Context = better solutions! 🚀

#AdventOfCode2024 #rust Peeked into Day 16 and pretty sure Dijkstra's waiting for me. I'll tackle him tomorrow—this weekend's a wrap. 🥱

#AdventOfCode2024 #rust Missed finishing Part Two for Day 12 and Day 15. Need to start earlier—or maybe tackle it the night before. Frustrating, but onward! 🦀

Day 11 - #AdventOfCode2024 #Rust Part 1? Nailed it with a quick and dirty approach. Part 2? Let’s just say Google’s quantum chip wouldn’t have solved it before the universe ends. Buckled down, thought it through, and shipped the final solution: 99 lines of #rust, 78 without tests. 🦀💡

🎅🏽 Surprise bonus post — pic of mah boy straight up chillin’. He asked me to take this selfie for him on account of he got no thumbs. 👎🏽 #carrotcake

Juggling proposals, code, and every #AdventOfCode2024 challenge (still on track!). Haven’t had time to share solutions, but productivity’s been off the charts. Tonight’s win: whipped up/published a crate I needed for WEBVTT serialization/deserialization with Serde. 🚀 #rust github.com/GovCraft/vtt

I'd be interested in reading this too. Anybody?

Cool behind the scenes vid on #AdventOfCode

Paused #AdventOfCode for a "quick" dinner break, thinking I’d crush it after. Big mistake. Scrambled to finish with 13 minutes left. Time to dial down the confidence—it’s barely week 2. 😐 Solution coming after the clock-induced adrenaline wears off! #RustLang #CodingAdventures

Day 7 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode #rust Taking a break from Day 8 to post Day 7. Optimized using perf, criterion & heaptrack till I tired of it. They're getting more fun to think through! Code runs fast; could be cleaner but, meh...you get what you pay for. 🤷🏽 github.com/rrrodzilla/a...

Herons in Seattle, herons in Mexico — turns out we share the same migration route.

Day 6 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode #rust Solution evolution: >6s runtime 🐢 - Vec/HashSet => poor cache & full-sized data types 0.65s 🐇 - Parallel with Rayon => still memory heavy 0.071s 🚀 - Bit-packing, small ints, better locality + parallel ~100x faster 🦀 github.com/rrrodzilla/a...

😅 Been there more times than I'd like to admit.

Done! If you're a Rustacean or thinking about becoming one, take a few minutes to share your thoughts. This is a great way to help shape the language and its future. The folks involved with the Rust Project take these results seriously so make your voice heard! 🦀 #rust #rust_lang

Day 5 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode After yesterday's trickery, today's puzzle felt suspiciously straightforward. I can't help but feel we're being set up for something... Day 5 and already playing mind games! github.com/rrrodzilla/a...

Pippa wants in on this Bluesky action. #pairprogramming #recoveringstray

I love how Rust gets called an "exotic programming language." 🤩 🦀 #rustlang

Day 4 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode #rustlang Fooled me twice, so I got spiteful and SIMD'd tf outta this, sprinkled in a little unsafe, then squeezed as much juice from it till I got bored. Final time stats: 20k file - 0.04s user 0.00s system 99% cpu 0.043s total. github.com/rrrodzilla

Many organizations for women in tech and other under-represented groups have shut down the past few years like Women Who Code and Girls In Tech. One of the reasons cited is lack of funds If you are able to, please donate to organizations that support underrepresented people in tech 🧵

Day 3 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode #rust_lang Today's challenge offered an opportunity to showcase Rust's zero-cost abstractions: built a heap-allocation-free solution using only std traits and newtype pattern. Type-safe, clean lifetimes, no external crates needed. github.com/rrrodzilla/a...
