A lot of juniors ask me if they should learn Rust.
The reason companies like OpenAI, Cloudflare, Discord, AWS and others are betting on Rust isn't because it's the fastest language.
It's because bugs are expensive.
When you're running systems that serve millions of users, one memory leak, one race condition, one weird crash can cost more than the salary of the engineer who wrote the code.
So, don't learn Rust because OpenAI likes Rust.
Learn Linux.
Learn networking.
Learn operating systems.
Learn distributed systems.
Once you understand why systems fail, Rust starts making a lot more sense.
French imperialism blocks roads in Nairobi for Macron like Kenya is a colony and Ruto is a colonial chief. Yet Ruto can never block a single street in Paris. This is the reality of neocolonialism. One rules, the other kneels.
Down with French imperialism!

@Steve_Nyasimi @Kimutai_01 You can use a prefix such tk- then concat with the timestamp. It will ensure uniqueness. That's just one way, there are many solutions to that depending on your specific needs.
We're proud to announce that our pure-Elixir H264 parser is now feature complete! 🔥
The last missing 🧩was timestamp generation, released last week.
Here's how you can use it to stream #H264 via #RTMP: 🧵
