@nnethercote highly recommend.

#getfedihired #rustlang #compiler

@nnethercote I use Rust. Thank you for your work. And tons of respect for what you will NOT work with, as per your letter.

Wishing you the best.

@nnethercote boosted & wishing good luck there.

One question re the post, it left me wondering -- is there something that you'd do totally completely differently if you had the chance to start the whole rustc again?

Same (except for different place on a different continent), and it makes things really annoying ATM.

@nnethercote Good luck! Also, I like this sentence:

> AI is sucking up a lot of money and attention in the tech world, leaving less for everything else.

Most people reading this probably just think "yeah makes sense" and keep on reading, because its just an obvious truth. But that's what makes it kinda funny, since it's the exact opposite of "AI" sales pitch, which is more like "makes everything cheaper and peoples work more efficient" 🤡

@nnethercote I’d be interested in chatting. @graydon can vouch that I’m not a crazy person, or at least only the good kind of crazy.

Roughly speaking, I’d consider funding you to work half time on the Rust compiler, and half time on compiler-shaped problems in some CAD research I’m leading.
