Your individual use-case may vary, but could include:</p> <ul> <li><p>You're a (recent) graduate and would like advice on acquiring a Rust job. Or guidance on how to build a meaningful portfolio.</p></li> <li><p>You're already interviewing and could use some general tips.</p></li> <li><p>You're hiring Rust engineers and would like to troubleshoot or optimize your pipeline.</p></li> <li><p>You're an established software engineer, but use a different language. You're curious how to transition to Rust.</p></li> <li><p>You'd like to drive adoption of Rust in your current company or team. You would like to brainstorm a strategy that considers the environmental nuances. Example: navigating stakeholders or evangelizing Rust.</p></li> <li><p>You're the maintainer of a Rust project and would like to find some contributors (or vice versa).</p></li> <li><p>You're interested in funding for your Rust project. Or you'd like to investigate a potential collaboration with a company.</p></li> </ul> <h2> About Me </h2> <p>Former engineer, passionate about Rust and its community since 2019.</p> <p>Each day I speak with Rustaceans who share their thoughts, experiences and pain-points. I also consult with companies and deep dive into their expectations and challenges.</p> <p>Advice derives from a distillation of the above perspectives. Blended with my personal insights.</p> <p><strong>Disclaimer:</strong> <em>I make no claims of authority. I can't guarantee a perfect answer. But I likely know someone who does. I'd be happy to connect you.</em></p> <h2> How can I help? </h2> <p>I view this as a community project. But it has at least one major drawback: scalability. To better serve the community I'd like to create real-world content that 1. addresses common scenarios and 2. highlights interesting use-cases and 3. contains tangible lessons.<br> Content will be published on ferrous-systems.com/blog/</p> <p>You can help by sharing your story or asking questions to me here or @ <a href="mailto:neesh@missing-link.io">neesh@missing-link.io</a>.</p> <p>(With your consent, I may use your anonymized story as a basis for an article that others may find useful)</p> rust opensource career
