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.

This talk explores building a complete self-hosted LLM stack in Rust: Paddler, a distributed load balancer for serving LLMs at scale, and Poet, a static site generator that consumes those LLMs for AI-powered content features.
This technical talk examines the most prevalent pain points facing Rust web developers today and explores how the community is addressing them.
This talk explains how Rust debugging actually works: how compiler-generated debuginfo (DWARF/PDB) maps binaries back to source, and how LLDB/GDB interpret that data in practice.
