This session we will delve into the sometimes murky world of procedural macros - showing some of the great tooling available for understanding the code generated, such as cargo expand, and the key building blocks we will need for writing our own.

This session we will delve into the sometimes murky world of procedural macros - showing some of the great tooling available for understanding the code generated, such as cargo expand, and the key building blocks we will need for writing our own.
We will cover how to understand what the macros we are calling actually do, as well creating our own very simple derive macros, building up more complex macros using repeat patterns in quote, and looking at basic error reporting.
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.
I contributed LTO-related changes to many open-source projects, and had a lot of interesting discussions with their maintainers about LTO. In this talk, I want to share with you my experience.
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.
