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:)

Thanks for your comment Martin! For some clients, I might miss the actual project starter since most of them are maintained under big-ish companies. Did my homework well for the Sarama as it is maintained by IBM, but I guess missed the franz-go thinking it started within Twilio. Thanks for the info!
