Career advice for an ambitious infrastructure engineer like me: find the world's largest Rust codebase and solve their hard problems. My team is hiring a senior engineer to work closely with me. In simple form, the job is: show up to an office in NYC, Seattle, Bellevue, or Menlo Park at least 3 days per week and make better developer infrastructure for a medium-sized Rust codebase (10 million lines) so that it can become a large Rust codebase (200 million lines) sooner. This is highly leveraged work that directly impacts the productivity, reliability, and performance for hundreds of teams building distributed systems of all kinds, developer tools, mobile apps with billions of users, data pipelines, AI training, network infrastructure, privacy infrastructure, consumer devices, and more in Rust.

There is a perception that the sender async model is hard to understand. The underlying concepts are actually very simple. These five interfaces are the sum total of the sender model. Everything else is window dressing.

$META "A study concluded that every dollar spent on our ads drives, on average, $3.31 in revenues for our advertisers in the U.S. Over $400 billion in economic activity annually is linked to our platforms, supporting more than 3 million jobs." nitter.gq/UPHOLDINGS/status/1489…
Before you call $FB evil, you should talk to small businesses who have leveraged their platform to attract customers (many without paying a dime!). 2nd order effects.

New blog post: Introducing `cxx-async`! pcwalton.github.io/_posts/20… It's a new crate I've published that allows easy interoperability between C++20 coroutines and Rust async I/O. You can await/co_await on both sides and it "just works".

Rust is now a first-class server-side language at Meta. Supporting a programming language at Meta is a long and careful process, and including Rust is a testament to the qualities of the language. I am proud of our team that made this possible. engineering.fb.com/2022/07/2…
