Can't I just build my own cloud computer? FAQ Friday #47
Last week @bcantrill.bsky.social and I talked about the process of restoring a software project--BattleTris--untouched and unbuilt in over 20 years! How did LLMs help restore code Bryan started in the mid-1990s and what does that teach us about developing and maintaining software in the future?
We love Rust for how much the compiler helps enforce safety. But sometimes it's up to us to uphold the complex--and often unclear--expectations of what constitutes safety on our own. @sunshowers.io, joined me and @bcantrill.bsky.social to talk about the hardest type of unsafe Rust.
We must be careful with our plans for BattleTris: the good people of Delaware hang in the balance

No podcast from @ahl.bsky.social and me this week, as we are both coming back from our college reunions (his 25th, my 30th) -- which we celebrated by resurrecting (and playing!) a local classic of that era. (And it's still fun as hell.)
