Thank you for tuning in! I hope you found the talk useful

Guess the bank. Guess the language. Listening to the talk of @joshmo-dev.bsky.social

we made it boys, i'm speaking at rust nation next year

Probably just not using sass.

i just lost the game

blazing fast enjoyers in shambles rn

Ahhhh, cats.

Fortunately mine has made no such attempt... yet

wasm is a bitch

*this meaning AI generated PRs. Stupid 280 character limit

I'm glad the community at large is starting to realise that this is going to be a problem if left untackled.

On the project I work on, I've added my own policy on AI-involved PRs. Pretty much just says contributors must be accountable and to state when the PR has been majority AI generated

LDN Talks September 2025 Community Showcase , Tue, Sep 30, 2025, 6:30 PM | Meetup We are excited to have our Autumn community showcase The Rust London Community Showcase provides an opportunity for individuals of all levels to present. Take this opportu

I'm doing an in person talk with Rust London next week on Tuesday!

It will be on building an AI Copilot with Rig, the leading AI agent framework in Rust which I maintain.

Check it out and sign up: www.meetup.com/rust-london-...

ngl so many seniors applied 😭 I had to reject them all

Chat, I am currently in the middle of hiring my first junior to work with me on Rig (the Rust AI framework).

So far I'm very happy with who I have shortlisted

37~ days played, 99 range no avas/cannon on my combat/slayer only ironman #osrs

thinking about how to convert the framework I maintain at work to python via pyo3... since they're talking about it internally haha

Graphic with a headline "Gleam in production" and a quote: “Adopting a new language is always a gamble, but Gleam has paid off. The belt-and-braces approach to safety and fault-tolerance has given us a system that just works, reliably, day in and day out, without constant babysitting and maintenance.” - Edward Kelly, Director of Technology at Strand.

See how Gleam gets the job done in production ⭐ Full case study coming soon:
“For a team like ours, with many other priorities and projects we need to work on, the confidence that Gleam gives us is worth its weight in gold.” - Edward Kelly, Director of Technology at Strand.

Excited to be releasing rig v0.14 soon!

Many new features to come and I'm also working on many more over the next few weeks to make the library (and its experimental counterpart rig-experimental) way better 🙂

Applied to do a talk at ObservabilityCON in London later this year. Let's see how it goes 🥳

just read it, i don't think it's *that* bad

although i am surprised it made the company blog - opinionated stuff like this is usually for personal blogs

Each pernissible operation can be specified in a concise coded form called an order. The correspondence between the set of permissible operations and the set of orders which specify them is called the order code of the Illlac. It is given in detail In Chapter 3. A coded problem is called a program or routine.

the best part about early computers is they hadn't settled on the term "instruction" yet and many systems called them "orders"

it's a great day to be promoted to chief maintainer

huh, I actually didn't know this crate existed - that would be pretty useful actually!

deployed - thank you for your feedback!

Yeah my personal website hasn't seen any changes in quite a while. I should probably get on that haha

Exploring and (minimally) recreating Axum Let's learn how the Rust web framework Axum is made by analysing its core components, then re-creating it.

I just wrote a blog post on exploring and recreating Axum - Rust's most popular web framework (probably!) - from the ground up.

We explore routing, extractors, state, and middleware.

Take a look: joshmo.ooo/blog/explori...

just looked at the word count of the article i'm currently writing

it's nearly 4000 words 🫡 good luck to whoever is gonna be reading this

after this side project i might have to write a mini-guide on the bollard crate lmao

another day

another realisation that i am in fact not a cracked dev - i'm just a lil guy

i don't think poem is too bad (esp. considering openapi stuff), it's mostly just that axum and dropshot have entire teams allocated to them whereas poem and some of the other frameworks are basically a bus factor of 1
