We’ve just launched our new event for AoC-style Rust code challenges, Shuttle Christmas Code Hunt 2024. We’re looking forward to having you join us and get started on learning Rust for web development, as well as sharing your progress on our Discord server.
I am not entirely sure if this'll be the future, but having one model that has relatively good performance over a huge range of types of data feels pretty good tbh
I think it's difficult to not be addicted with how much simple content there is out there that's easy to digest. TikTok, YT shorts and Instagram reels are pretty good examples of this.
Do you think Mintlify could be a viable choice if and when it supports OpenAPI more comprehensively? Currently, my company uses Mintlify and I find it to be suitable for purpose but in the future, we may end up using OpenAPI.
Not a SWE - I'm a WFH DevRel Eng who is starting to get back pain.
I work on the sofa and my colleagues are urging me to get a proper office chair, but I don't really want to because my living space is tiny and I intend to move out soon (3-4 months ish).
You cut down a chunk of tests by not needing to figure out what type something is. You can also use assert! and assert_eq! in your main code without even using tests which also cuts down on tests, where applicable.
You can also write unit tests in the same files as your main code. Eventually you'll want some kind of test suite when your codebase gets big enough, but it works well enough that you don't need to if you don't want to (for a small codebase).
Frameworks like Axum also of course support testing - for instance this crate lets you quickly mock up your server without having to do much: https://docs.rs/axum-test/latest/axum_test/
This is likely just a me problem, but I always found Jest extremely annoying to set up with React and TypeScript - particularly with attempting to follow the documentation for jest and then failing spectacularly (in spite of using React Testing Library, jsdom + jest).
Cypress on the other hand I found to be really, really good
I think they are making steps with Pipfiles, but yeah it's definitely not great. I had to use Python for a hackathon a while ago and it was probably one of the worst experiences I had trying to get set up with my group.
I can spin up a generic Axum backend service within probably about half an hour to an hour that contains most of the things I need (auth, CRUD, similar things) once I know what I need, configuration and business logic depending. I think the key phrasing is primarily "when you're familiar with Rust" - if you're not familiar, then it will definitely be a slog.
Certain things that would require you to manually implement a complex trait (for example, Send + Sync + 'static plus whatever else) would probably slow you down though, but presumably by that time you probably already know what you're doing.
