Building developer tooling in Rust to make developers happier and more productive. Working as an infrastructure engineer on @rustlang. He/him.

[Jan David 🦀 @[email protected] @jdno_dev]

The last few weeks on here have been an absolute shit show in more ways than one. Twitter is no longer a platform that I want to use or want to support.

I'm over here now: https://t.co/zjKWjFe0KR.

Take care of yourselves, everyone! ❤️

Woo-hoo! 🎉 Welcome to the team!

[Jan David 🦀 @[email protected] @jdno_dev]

I’m on the way back home from @euro_rust. It was great to spend two days meeting people who are passionate about Rust, learn new things in the talks, and meet fellow contributors to the project. I’m absolutely pumped for what’s to come! Rust has a bright future. 🤩

[Jan David 🦀 @[email protected] @jdno_dev]

It’s great to be at a conference again! Perfect timing for me as well, since I can meet some of my fellow team members in person. 🤩 Come say Hi if you’re here and want to chat.

[RustFest @RustFest]

#EuroRust 2022, the first in a hopefully long succession of RustFest Family community events just kicked off in Berlin with a remote presentation by @bagder! 🦀🎊

Wishing a great time to both people at the @euro_rust venue and those watching online! 📺

The responsible part of me wants to add a review feature so that I can start tracking progress and get motivated by that. The other part wants to add funny gifs of dogs to the end of each session.

[Jan David 🦀 @[email protected] @jdno_dev]

Turns out creating my own Pomodoro timer does not mean that I'll actually use it. This can either mean that I need to do the hard work and work on my habits. Or that it needs a killer feature. If you ask me, it must be option 2.

[Jan David 🦀 @[email protected] @jdno_dev]

Would be open to add other animals as well. But no cats.

If it works, it will make it very easy to add a few cool features to my Pomodoro CLI. 🤞

[Jan David 🦀 @[email protected] @jdno_dev]

Broke my brain trying to design a local file-based database with builtin schema migrations. Will be a fun weekend building a prototype.

[Jan David 🦀 @[email protected] @jdno_dev]

Been thinking a lot about how to sync my Pomodoro sessions between devices. Easiest option would be to save them as individual files that get synced through iCloud/Drive/whatever. But that's essentially a NoSQL database, and I'm immediately getting afraid of schema changes.

[Jan David 🦀 @[email protected] @jdno_dev]

I'm working my way through a massive refactoring task, and all the corners I've cut in the past have come to haunt me. Should've spent more time setting up factories for testing instead of just copy & pasting massive JSON blobs everywhere... 😫

[Jan David 🦀 @[email protected] @jdno_dev]

@me_diru The thought of ever having to support time zones between planets scares me. That’ll be when I retire into the forests.

[Jan David 🦀 @[email protected] @jdno_dev]

Feels like peak software development that my very simple time tracking CLI has issues with timezones. 🙄

@kevinrj You can enter "open Downloads" for example, and then use Command (⌘) + Down arrow to navigate into the folder. Command + Up moves you out of the folder again.
