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.

Je sais que quand j’ai habité dans le 6eme je voyais une porche garé sur le passage piéton dans ma rue presque toutes les semaines 🤷‍♂️

As someone who lives between three languages, I often wonder if people are confusing translatable with added value of abstraction. Of course you can translate (explain) but it you have to replace one word with a paragraph you loose rhetorical impact (value of abstraction) 🤷‍♂️

I was on a ancient salt mine visit once, and the guide said: you can try to lick the wall. I most definitely tried 🤪

Ada Palmer’s Terra Ignota is amazing!

Everyone is trying to argue this but this creator is a Christian who has said that movies shouldn't have "an agenda" and I think people need to think a little bit harder about the internal consistency of religious belief systems. There is no conflict here

It would be amazing! Absolutely no rush :) And thank you for making it, very excited to try!

I have a question. I looked through the skills and it seems like they mention git a lot. Is it possible to use deciduous with jj?

the whole point of technology is to subvert "the natural order," because the natural order is disease and decay and suffering and famine

Guys, it’s fine. It’s probably DNS. Or BGP. Or us-east-1

Frankly, the entire Internet is made of duct tape and popsicle sticks held together by bubble gum and string and it’s amazing that anything ever works at all

🤯😬

I understand that you might not like it, but at least now you have the solution to buy the most expensive and fancy USB cable and it will work everywhere 🤷‍♂️ I prefer the current situation – I can buy my way out off the problem

I think I see your point. I agree that it is very possible that people benefiting from AI coding right now are a statistical minority…

This is something that makes me worried for the next generation. I think it’s a real problem worth thinking about. But it is not a proof that AI is useless 🤷‍♂️ Quite the opposite

I have more then 15 years of experience writing hand crafted code. I have no CS degree, I learned on my own. I know what a learning process is. I am absolutely learning with AI. Would I learn as good or as much if I started with AI? I don’t think so (again I have no proof).

I learned things in the process. The things I built have value at least to me. I keep hearing that story around me. If I had infinite time and energy, I might have tried build the same things on my own. I would learn even more. But I don’t have infinite time and energy.

I did put anecdotal there to be clear that I am not making any bold claims. But I am not the only one with an anecdote. And most stories I hear are like mine: I didn’t believe and then I tried. I build things with the help of an agent that I would never have attempted without it.

I agree on 1. Regarding the second, we are reading the same sentence and not understanding it in the same way 🤷‍♂️ Plus my own (anecdotal) experience is that AI can be a multiplier of my abilities. There is plenty of issues around AI and its usage. But claiming it’s worthless is not helpful

“The participants who showed stronger mastery used AI assistance not just to produce code but to build comprehension while doing so —whether by asking follow-up questions, requesting explanations, or posing conceptual questions while coding independently.”

This is a research paper, as expected it seems to be more nuanced than you make it to be. This seems important: “Using AI assistance didn’t guarantee a lower score. How someone used AI influenced how much information they retained.”

My own view changed a lot when I gave agentic coding a serious try. It’s not perfect. The outcomes can vary a lot. It will create value for some people and orgs. It will fuck up some people and orgs. But I can hardly see how we can pretend it’s not happening.

In theory is doing the heavy lifting here 🤷‍♂️ There is a lot of different ways to approach code. There is a whole spectrum between code as esthetic object and only product matter. And at each region the balance between code product is handled differently. There is a lot of nuance to be had.

I am starting to believe that AI coding will be useful and used because it’s not about creating perfect code, it’s about at scale replacing mediocre human produced artifacts with mediocre computer produced artifacts. And a lot of people’s jobs are already about managing streams of mediocre outputs.

Beautiful code was always an idealistic concept that most humans were unable to achieve. Last years before AI were all about how to empower humans without gatekeeping on loosely defined, abstract, subjective rules

How to think about Gas Town: steveklabnik.com/writing/how-...

Gas Town’s Agent Patterns, Design Bottlenecks, and Vibecoding at Scale On agent orchestration patterns, why design and critical thinking are the new bottlenecks, and whether we should let go of looking at code

I have Gas Town derangement syndrome and spent the last few weeks writing thousands of words on agent orchestration patterns; how they shift our bottlenecks and force us to ask whether and when we should stop looking at code

You should probably write Haskell using Claude Code 🎉

Je suis en train de coder en binôme avec claude mon propre langage de programmation, alors bon…

I don’t understand many takes I see on how US actions in Venezuela create precedence for Russia, China or Iran. They already doing it. Especially Russia. They tried to grab Zelensky several times. China will try something like this in Taiwan when they are ready. They don’t need Trump’s example
