@[email protected] learning Go was a smooth ride for me too. Probably that's why I almost rage quit Rust cause I expected the same.
Been meaning to try out Tauri but I had a pretty bad experience with Loco. Opening a Rust codebase with a ton of boilerplate code that you barely understand will mess you up for sure

@[email protected] 😂 as inaccurate as some might say that is, I think it's much closer than calling them "intelligent". Otherwise we're setting a pretty low bar for that word lol

Makes me hope our descendents eventually crack AGI just so they can look back and laugh at our naivety

@livingcoder yup I know a bit of c++ but not really at an advanced level.

But I can't blame The Book here. I just never got as far as chapter 15. I decided to revisit it now and it all makes perfect sense.
Only thought I have is that chapters 12 to 14 kinda give the impression that you've learned enough to start building with Rust but they are some pretty important things after that.

@[email protected] same here. Usually I just read enough to get a basic understanding then I start building

I had been working on something and it was going well. Then I got over confident and tried to contribute to an open source project. The issue seemed pretty simple but I got stuck on it for a couple weeks and lost all my confidence

@mo8it yeah I did! Got as far as the vectors exercises if I remember correctly but it's been a while
Kept seeing this as a meme and thought I should try it out too #chatgpt

So maybe I should have read through The Book all the way to the end before rage quitting #rustlang

My biggest problem was smart pointers and I never made it past chapter 10

They're running out of ideas and all they've got left is hype to try to keep their share prices high, and convince VCs to throw money at them

There's this growing trend of tech companies announcing features and products that are months away and I think that's just a big sign that something is off.

We heard about Apple Intelligence back in June or something but the new iPhones won't even have it when they're released

Ever since I read Erik Larson's The Myth of AI, I just can't take any kind of AI hype seriously.

Plus, the tech industry has been drumming up more hype than actually innovating lately
