AI coding tools can accelerate Rust development—but only if we use them with intention, discipline, and a Rust-specific mindset. 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 discuss how to leverage Claude for the work it excels at—scaffolding new Axum services, generating typed data models, producing serde integrations, writing tests, and creating clean project structures—while keeping humans in control of the parts that truly matter in Rust: ownership, lifetimes, API design, error semantics, and crate ecosystem choices.

What if we took Rust... on-chain? 🦀
In this talk, we'll dive deep into what makes concurrency coordination costly, and explore some pathways to mitigate that cost.
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 re-create the core ideas of Karpathy’s micrograd, but entirely in Rust.
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.
