The motors and wheels have arrived!

Let's see what we can do with them 😂

You know what I just realized?

I might not have to get a dedicated laptop just for Ubuntu if I can just do it on this Pi itself.

Sure it might not be as performant but 😂

Apple, if you want me to upgrade from my M1,

You gotta at least show me the M5 Pro chip 😂

The goods have arrived!

Can't wait to do all sorts of things to it if you know what I mean 😉

Is it meta enough if we use ourself to monitor ourself? 🤔

1st version of the core feature is built!

Now to beautify it!!

#buildinpublic #rustlang

Hahaha thanks man!!

So this might be overkill but I just made a purchase for the Raspberry Pi 5 with 16gb ram for myself as a birthday gift to myself 😂

Never owned one but I'm excited and can't wait for when it arrives!

p.s ignore the price lol I kinda got it for free using some redeemed points 😉

All I really want is to become a better husband to my wife, a better father to my son, a better person in general and a better engineer too!

I'm just starting to pick up the hardware side of things ( just bought a new raspberry pi 5) 😂 !

I just turned 40!

Today has been a big day for me as I just hit a new digit in my age.

I am really grateful for my life, for my awesome and supportive wife and son.

I am grateful for being able to do the things that I'm currently able to do.

I'm learning so much about hardware now that I'm only now finding out that desktop GPUs can outperform their laptop counterparts (of the same model) by a huge margin!!???

Which rock have I been living under 😂

Thanks for sharing about Tuxedo laptops! Just found out about them!

If you had some spare cash to spend, would you get a Framework laptop or a System76 for linux-based development work?

If not, would you recommend any other options that also comes with dedicated GPUs?

Did you know that you can travel to the past with Rust / #rustlang ?

Simply use the chrono crate like so:

Ohhhh cool stuff!

Just being curious,

Has anyone bought a Raspberry Pi 5 and done some fun stuff with it?

Care to share?

thanks Jones!

Still lots of work to be done though!

I read somewhere that all of us are literally made out of stardust.

So I'm literally converting star dust energy to Rust code?

Pretty amazing I would say 😂

Sure feels good when what you're building works from end to end.

Starting from the UI and all the way to the infrastructure where it performs the actual core feature.

I'm starting to see the light for @monitorbolt.bsky.social 😂

Did I ever mention that it's being built in #rustlang too?

I recently had the chance to be exposed to robotics and I must say that this is really the 1st time that I experienced the 'imposter syndrome'.

Suddenly I feel that I'm not good enough 😂

Although I'm learning a lot of new stuff

Cloudflare just got faster and more secure, powered by Rust We’ve replaced the original core system in Cloudflare with a new modular Rust-based proxy, replacing NGINX. It’s not only substantially faster for all our customers, it’s also more secure, and lets us...

A real #rustlang success story in Cloudflare!

At this rate I'm going, I might just go full circle and back to using Linux (first used it many many years ago).

Was using Windows after that and then now Mac (for many years).

Seems like if I want to get into embedded and possibly robotics stuff, I might just do this 😂

I'm super tempted to buy a new laptop just for development work.

Unless I try Asahi Linux on my M1 😂

You can do this

Introducing Rust into the core of Git? 🤔

#rustlang

I'm mostly using Rust for my personal stuff nowadays but once in a while, I turn my head back to look at the JS/TS ecosystem.

"Ah I remember now"

😆

let me know your experience with it too!

Announcing Rust 1.90.0 | Rust Blog Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.

Yoooo faster compilation times let's go LLD is now the default linker!!

blog.rust-lang.org/2025/09/18/R... #rustlang

Oh yes that's right.

You heard it here first 😂

Did you know that in Rust (#rustlang) , you can easily have custom build profiles for your binary with Cargo?

For example, if you want your application binary to be optimized for size, you can do this instead:

Thank you!

Yes I really need to start doing that 😂
