Although I have "started learning Rust" a few times I always had to at the end of the day go back to working on JavaScript / TypeScript stuff at work which was fine, but it was really just that I learned to live with how switch / case worked, how if blocks were just statements and not expressions, the null problem, 0.1 + 0.2 not being correct, etc... Now that I'm a free agent I've had a lot of time to play around with Rust and build some little command line tools, and honestly, I think it is a really good exercise for every aspiring rustacean! I think blog post I'll expand more on why I feel this way...

This guide demonstrates one way to setup your locally computer for solving exercises on Exercism.io. When working on your solutions to exercism, why not version you code and save it to git just as you would any "real" project you plan to deploy? With Github, you can make a public repo for free that can contain all of your solutions, plus you'll be associating this nice code with your Github profile and be getting those green squares on Github! Excercism projects make excellent code to have on your Github account because every exercise itself is it's own little self-contained, fully unit tested and peer-reviewed bit of clean code that does something correctly! You can take a look at my Exercism-Solutions repo to see how awesome it is to have all of your Exercism solutions there in a Github repo. ?
After talking to a good from and colleague about life and the "famous coders" in the programming industry, and it really made me reflect on my own "online engineer brand". All of this sort of coincidentally coincided with New Years 2020, and while I hardly ever make real resolutions I made a lot of goals for myself in this new year and new decade.
This is something that often trips up newcomers to Go who are familiar with JavaScript. I think it's pretty fascinating to notice whether different programming languages decide to do things in different ways, and it's interesting that the concept of "constants" is so different in Go Lang and JavaScript. has an extremely strict definition
It's crazy that 12.13.0 is now the latest long term support version of nodejs! At work today we discovered that when we all boot up a new terminal shell and run "node -v" to get the current node version, we would all get a different number! One person was on 12.13, one was on 11.15, one was on 10.something, and one guy was even using v6.4! We had to do something about this madness
