During this talk we'll build a basic, working async runtime using nothing more than a standard library. The point? To see it's approachable for mere mortals.

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.
This talk explores what it means to write scientific software that lives up to the standards we expect of science itself.
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 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.
I'll initiate you in the art of 'CAN bus sniffing': Connecting to the central nervous system of a modern car, interpreting the data, and seeing what we can build as enthousiastic amateurs.
