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 introductory talk, we will explore what it means to "Ratatuify" the Rust package manager, Cargo.
I’ll share what the Rust job market really looks like in 2025 — where companies are hiring, which skills stand out, and how the recruitment process actually works behind the scenes.
For infrastructure engineers, SREs, platform teams, and Rust developers who've felt the pain of configuration drift, failed deployments, and infrastructure code that simply doesn't scale safely.
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 talk explores what it means to write scientific software that lives up to the standards we expect of science itself.
