Description
Practice writing systems-level code with rust and contributing to open source.
Benefits
Memory-safe, super fast, and respected in systems programming and performance-critical applications.
Example
Leo started learning Rust after realizing most performance-critical systems jobs wanted it. He followed the Rust Book and tackled small projects β a CLI tool, then a simple game engine. It was slow at first, but once he got the borrow checker mindset, things clicked. Six months later, he contributed to an open-source project and landed an interview for a backend role that valued Rust proficiency.
