Rusted Ruby

I gave a talk this week! If you’re interested in a 10,000m look at Rust and then a delve into Helix, then here’s your slides!

The talk suffered a bit from my usual deer-in-headlights presenting style and that I lost a week of preparation due to wisdom teeth shenanigans, but hey, I implemented a 3x speedup of Ruby’s Pathname.absolute? in less than ten minutes, which isn’t too bad…

Going to a busy six weeks coming up - as of yesterday, I have trips to DC, Cincinnati, and of course Bicester and London before the end of August. And then…and then, things get even more fraught as I begin my 2018 masterplan. Which is much less impressive than it sounds, but will involve quite a bit of upheaval. But all for the better in the end!

Hopefully, I will sleep a little more this upcoming week, too. And fewer exam stress dreams set back in Manchester. It’s been 17 years…
