Interestingly enough, you also have amazon.co.uk, which combines the nature (commercial) and location served (UK), but in the opposite order.

But it could limit the usage of its TLD.

I threw together a quick image to ASCII conversion project to actually use a couple of concepts.

Sometime this week I’d like to make it not panic over every little thing. I feel like I should be shifting error handling left, but it’s not very natural for me, just yet.

I will say, the ergonomics for testing with cargo are excellent.

I’m shocked and appalled! Isn’t the whole point of using Rust to prove you’re a better developer by using an extra hard language? At least that’s what I like about it.

I’m kidding, of course. Whoever has never copied and pasted code they didn’t understand from Stack Overflow can go ahead and complain about using a local LLVM.

Ultimately, what makes a good developer includes understanding and being really good with the tools they use, but the biggest impact comes from identifying problems and asking the right questions to solve them.

One of my main concerns with this is the potential for making a lot of separate calls to the DB for a complex data structure. Then again there are trade offs to any architecture.

The insert on their Getting Started guide.

let new_post = NewPost { title, body };

diesel::insert_into(posts::table)
    .values(&new_post)
    .returning(Post::as_returning())
    .get_result(conn)
    .expect("Error saving new post")

Of course the other possibility is this guide is very low on abstractions.

Just learning. I threw together a little CRUD API in Rocket the other day.

Now I’m playing around with Diesel. I don’t love the intermediate New types, coming from EF Core. Is that because Rust ~~~~doesn’t really have constructors?
