Summing up 20+ years of programming knowledge into the basics, @technosophosthis bookends this post with the words "Remember that every line of code you write is a line of code you will support." This maxim resonates throughout as we delve into coding as artisanship, "not invented here" syndrome, and more.

Get an inside look at the ups, downs, and unexpected twists in Rust's world, all served with a side of open-source goodness. Learn about performance, safety, and the quirky camaraderie that makes Rust's ecosystem one heck of a party.

Ditch the dull and dive into dynamic writing! @steeve invites you to spice up your DEV articles with interactive demos, snazzy diagrams, and GIFs that pop. Say goodbye to snooze-worthy content and hello to engaging, memorable reads.

Neste post divertido e interessante, @moovhe4rt relembra como jogar Habbo Hotel, relacionando a mecânica de jogo de "Wireds" com a Programação Orientada a Eventos.

"How is Habbo Hotel related to programming?" you ask. In this fun and interesting post, @moovhe4rt reminisces about playing Habbo Hotel, relating the game mechanics of "Wireds" to Event-Driven Programming.
