@MainzOnX @Google @metaai @PyTorch Welcome, Adam. It's good to have you back on the team.

Career advice for an ambitious infrastructure engineer like me: find the world's largest Rust codebase and solve their hard problems.

My team is hiring a senior engineer to work closely with me. In simple form, the job is: show up to an office in NYC, Seattle, Bellevue, or Menlo Park at least 3 days per week and make better developer infrastructure for a medium-sized Rust codebase (10 million lines) so that it can become a large Rust codebase (200 million lines) sooner.

This is highly leveraged work that directly impacts the productivity, reliability, and performance for hundreds of teams building distributed systems of all kinds, developer tools, mobile apps with billions of users, data pipelines, AI training, network infrastructure, privacy infrastructure, consumer devices, and more in Rust.

Meta is hiring compilers, low-level, and performance engineers. Especially engineers w/ expertise in CPU and GPU performance, CUDA, C++, x86, and LLVM. The roles are located in the SF Bay Area, Seattle, and NY. A U.S. work permit is required.

There is a perception that the sender async model is hard to understand.

The underlying concepts are actually very simple.

These five interfaces are the sum total of the sender model. Everything else is window dressing.

@Bryan30976298 @S71503016 @Caltrain Yet oddly, in most of the developed world we don't need train horns at level crossings. I don't think Americans are actually much more stupid than, say, the British. More likely this is lack of investment in safe crossings: https://t.co/AZtUnStFEE

@ericniebler @MaikelNadolski @LucT3o @RishabhRD_tweet That's @LeeWHowes :)

Although I do feel a bit dirty using Twitter these days.

Hey! You!

I wrote a blog post!

Come read about why I'm unreasonably excited about senders.

It's Monday morning. Work can wait.

@Tyler_UCSC @satnam6502 Don't you appreciate the classic architecture of the EE building?

[Lee Howes @LeeWHowes]

@ongamex92 @ericniebler This is template heavy code, though. Your choice is: a ridiculously long indescribable type, a type-erasing wrapper that you wouldn't really want to use line by line in real code, or to get used to auto.

Getting on the threads bandwagon (https://t.co/nVYNqt5RZr) as one does.

@alexvoica Tiktok really throws off the pattern.
