I was already down David you don't have to sweeten the pot.

Shout out to @steveklabnik.com for boosting my projects. Steve has been a good friend and has helped me (and many others) through my #rust journey. I just wanted to take a moment to say you rock Steve!

I'd even write ruby for it 😜

I'd be down to get in on that action

Those also have dark mode Kuba, no excuses.

It's because you use your terminal in light mode obviously Kuba

I find myself suddenly and unexpectedly #unemployed. If you know anyone hiring for Rust or Ruby developers please holla at your boy (do the kids still say that?).

A few and a couple are synonymous in many areas of the south.

Pro tip if you just say yes then you only have to deal with a notification from that same app every 2 minutes!

If you're enjoying gest please consider giving the repository a ⭐, I need 75 to qualify for homebrew!

That's the agents job 😉

It sucks that this happened on a weekend but at the same time it is bullshit, and they did the same thing to me.

crates.io: Rust Package Registry

Toasty, an async ORM for Rust, is now on crates.io. This is the blog post that I promised: tokio.rs/blog/2026-04.... Happy to answer any questions here.

Apparently, if a crate is not 100% human written, it is off topic for /r/rust: reddit.com/r/rust/comme.... I have been working on Toasty for 3 years, 9 months with AI tools. I am quite proud of the code quality and stand by it. By their standard, the entire tokio-rs GitHub organization is now OT.

I use AI to draft commit messages, and format my code and also got the boot from r/rust for github.com/aaronmallen/.... The sad thing is you can look at the skills folder on that project and **clearly** see how AI is being used.

My favorite part is when you do `/some-skill` and Claude says: "Good read, I'm not going to do any of that"

Right now gest doesn't have any sort of external integrations but it's something I'm rolling around. But even if it did the skills would likely only manage gest tasks/iterations and then the external tool would get updated as a side effect.

What if your #ai coding assistant just knew how to use your project management tools? New #RFC for #gest: gest generate skills - one command to teach any AI harness (Claude Code, opencode, Cursor, etc.) how to manage your artifacts, tasks, and iterations.

Pending the bug report one potential work around for gest v0.3.x is to tell the agents to explicitly set GEST_DATA_DIR. for gest v0.4.x it would be GEST_PROJECT_DIR.
