Why I'm Learning Rust in 2026 LostInBrittany's tech blog, reborn... again...

Here’s the kickoff post: lostinbrittany.dev/en/why-im-le...

If you’re also learning a language “despite” agents, I’m curious which one... and why.

And I’m going to document the process: the projects, what the compiler taught me, what the agent got wrong, and the review rules I keep reusing (“cheap correctness first”, etc.).

So I’m learning Rust with a different focus than 5 years ago: reading & reviewing first, writing second.
Semantics > syntax. Failure modes > trivia.

Rust is a great example: “it compiles” doesn’t mean “it’s good”. Agents can produce clone soup, weird lifetimes, async-by-reflex, brittle error handling, dependency sprawl… all perfectly compilable.

If an assistant can generate 200 lines in seconds, the bottleneck isn’t typing. It’s judgment: is this correct? safe? over-engineered? will we regret this dependency in 6 months?

I did a basic Rust intro a couple years ago, then… never really used it. In 2026 I’m coming back to Rust on purpose, because agents exist.

My sons playing Tablut

My sons playing Tablut

We played tonight at the table. My two sons arguing over tactics with a handful of stones.

And for some moments I almost forgot grief.

I drew the grid by hand and walked to the beach for pieces. Pebbles for one side, rougher stones for the other, a shell for the king.

There’s something steady about doing small, precise things.

Tablut is an old Scandinavian strategy game.

Asymmetric. One king trying to escape.

The other side closing in.
Simple rules. No randomness.

A homemade Tablet board and pieces

A homemade Tablet board and pieces

The last couple of weeks have been harder than usual.

This weekend I built a Tablut board.

I’d been playing it on my phone, but that didn’t feel like enough.

A deux doigts de me reintéresser a PHP grace a @lostinbrittany.bsky.social … non j’déconne mais super talk qui fait un bon refresh sur l’evolution du langage et l’écosystème.

2026-02-10 - Finist'AI Club - Rewriting the role: Developers in the age of LLM "Rewriting the role: Developers in the age of LLM", a talk by Horacio Gonzalez (LostInBrittany) at Finist'AI Club (Brest, France) on February 10, 2026.

3/ Slides: lostinbrittany.dev/talks/2026/2...

6-part blog series going deeper: lostinbrittany.dev/en/rewriting...

Merci au Finist'AI Club! 🙏

2/ Short answer: we're going from co-pilot to conductor. Orchestrating AI agents, designing context, reviewing everything. The vibe coders who skip understanding are learning the hard way why that matters.

The future of dev isn't less human. It's differently human.

1/ Really enjoyed presenting "Rewriting the Role: Developers in the Age of LLMs" at Finist'AI Club in Brest last night!

The gist: we've survived every "developers are doomed" wave so far. LLMs are the latest one, and the interesting question isn't "will we survive" but "how is the craft changing?"

5/ My favorite framing from the talk:

MCP in 2026 ≈ REST APIs in 2010

Same forces (domain, trust, ownership separation), but the margin for error is smaller when your caller is a non-deterministic LLM.

4/ - Operating MCP beyond one server: composition patterns, gateways, contracts and versioning, safety guardrails with risk-tiered tools. This is where the REST-to-microservices lessons really apply.

3/
- Production patterns from day one: security, input validation, testing (including LLM evaluation and prompt injection resistance), observability

2/ The talk covers three things:

- Design choices through a concrete example (RAGmonsters): generic vs custom, and why using all three MCP primitives (Tools, Resources, Prompts) changes everything

🧵 1/ Just gave my talk "MCP Servers Beyond 101" at @jfokus in Stockholm. Really happy with how it went!

Conversations afterwards confirmed it: the community has moved past "what is MCP" into "how do I build production-grade MCP servers."

Yesterday at @FinistDevs, I talked about how PHP has evolved beyond the old days of unscoped includes and global namespace chaos 🌪️→🚀

Whether you code in Java, JS, Go, or Rust—PHP deserves a second look. JIT, union types, vibrant ecosystem.
