Oh, look! Another riveting tale of a developer's tedious journey down the rabbit hole of #Rust and #compilers 🐇🔧. Because clearly, nothing screams "exciting read" like learning how an awkward job interview spiraled into a deep dive on #fetchmax and #concurrency 🤦‍♂️. If you've ever wanted a timeseries database to match your existential dread, QuestDB's got you covered! 📉📚
