Many thanks to @kcd.istanbul team for having me this year. Starting to spread the word for the @rust-lang.org‬ Operator SDK plugin was very important for me, and I am glad that I could do it at a KCD event in the city where I live. #rust #kubernetes #operators

One of the hardest things to explain to people without ADHD: • when it’s interesting, I can start on it • when it’s uninteresting, I can’t Note that the second one is not “I don’t want to.” I literally CAN’T. I have to convince my brain it is interesting to even get started.

I've been experiencing Rust generics, trait bounds, and their lifetimes for some time as a newbie Rustacean. It is both fun and not fun:)

Golang is weird. I wish I could mock whole the package like I used to do with Python. Structs and interfaces solve the mocking issues but it seems that we have limitations. In Python, I could do way more: github.com/SystemCraftsman/strimzi-…

Just've finished implementing a client in Go, and this is my first professional Go code I can say (prev. ones have been for personal stuff). Am I happy with my code? - 50/50 Am I happy with Go? - No:) Am I happy with the 3rd mindset shift after Java, and then Python? - YES!
