In 2024, I added the `Option::as_slice` and `Option::as_mut_slice` methods to libcore. This talk is about what motivated the addition, and looks into the no less than 4 different implementations that made up the methods. It also shows that even without a deep understanding of all compiler internals, it is possible to add changes both to the compiler and standard library.

In this talk, we’ll explore battle-tested best practices for integrating Claude Code into a professional Axum development workflow without compromising on Rust’s core values: correctness, clarity, and maintainability.
We’ll take a deep dive into Rust channels — from synchronous channels to asynchronous channels — to explore how message passing enables reliable concurrent programming.
In this talk, we'll dive deep into what makes concurrency coordination costly, and explore some pathways to mitigate that cost.
In this talk, we’ll re-create the core ideas of Karpathy’s micrograd, but entirely in Rust.
