Rust Lifetimes Demystified – Borrowing to Explicit `'a` Explained

References in Rust can be tricky — the compiler often rejects code you think should work, and that’s where lifetimes come in: Rust’s way of ensuring your references never outlive the data they point to.

In this post, you’ll learn how to:

• 📖 Understand what lifetimes are and why they matter
• 🪄 Simplify explicit lifetimes step-by-step using real-world analogies
• 💻 Try hands-on examples with string references and functions

Lifetimes might sound intimidating at first, but once you see them in action, they make Rust safer and more predictable.
