I currently have availability for Rust coaching, adoption, or development; from a single call to ongoing 3 days/week. I can help your team get things done, adopt Rust and use it more effectively, or to accurately evaluate Rust as a new technology.

Going live in 10 minutes! Come see us play with Rust, AI and AI-assisted debugging!

I will be going live in 5 hours to play with OpenAI Codex CLI and show the power of combining it with Pydantic Logfire's Rust SDK and MCP server to debug Rust apps. Should be a relatively gentle introduction to AI-assisted development, please come along check it out! pydantic.dev/articles/ope...

Rust usage for Python extensions surged 22% in one year as developers choose memory safety and C-level performance over traditional approaches. By @darrylktaft.bsky.social

I'm *so* excited to share that I am now officially a CPython Core Developer! 🥳 I wrote my first Python in 2012, and immediately fell in love with the language. I'm honored that I am a part of, and can give back to, such an amazing, welcoming community! discuss.python.org/t/vote-to-pr...

I completely agree with this great blog post by @nikomatsakis.com betting that Rust, Python and Typescript will be stables of the AI coding era 👍 These languages combined have the package ecosystems and domain coverage to meet most programming needs. smallcultfollowing.com/babysteps/bl...

Build a tool with Rust, then integrate it into Python with the amazing PyO3 🦀 😍 📈

pyo3 is great. sick of Rust compile times? Just build your Rust crate into a Python module, then use it with all your other Python

In case anyone else has been having recent trouble with Rust tracing having spans seemingly hanging open at random - spent a huge debugging session to arrive at github.com/hyperium/hyp... Will be interesting to see what the solution to this one is.

The uv build backend is now stable, and considered ready for production use. An alternative to setuptools, hatchling, etc. for pure Python projects, with a focus on good defaults, user-friendly error messages, and performance. When used with uv, it's 10-35x faster.

I'm back, babbyyyy More async coming your way at @rustconf.com. I've spent many years writing software with async Rust. It's a great tool but easy to misuse. Sign up and I can teach you some of my knowledge to kick start your teams.

A bit of a long shot: the regular audio editor for the "What's New" Rustacean Station episodes is now busy with other life stuff. The last episode I edited myself, but it took ages! Anyone know an editor (ideally familiar with Rust, but not a requirement) who'd take on a regular (paid) editing gig?

This is the first time I am doing this #TeaWithCheuk a 1-1 meeting with me at #PyDataLDN to talk about anything #Python #PyCharm #DataScience etc. limited slot, booking link in the comment. @pydatalondon.bsky.social @pycharm.dev

A critical component for our database in Pydantic Logfire. Having a lot of fun building with this!

Thanks to everybody who came to my talk at #PyConUS yesterday! As promised, here are the slides: pycon-us-2025-davidhewitt.vercel.app

#PyconUS attendees. Have time? We REALLY need more volunteers tomorrow, Sat 🥺. Green room volunteers, session runners, swag distribution, registration,information desk. Login to us.pycon.org/#PyconUSon your dashboard, click on volunteer>volunteering. Pick the time you're free!

I like to think that when Charli xcx sang “Unlock It (Lock It)”, she was referencing thread safety with mutexes.

Our social run group this morning at #PyConUS Ed, Hynek, David Hewitt and David Lord. Running again 7:30 Saturday anyone welcome!

🎂 Rust turns 10 today! 🎂 To mark the anniversary of Rust 1.0, we’re excited to share a reflection by Graydon Hoare, the initial author of Rust. It’s a story of infrastructure, community, and extraordinary collaboration. Read Graydon's guest blog here: rustfoundation.org/media/10-yea...

#Education summit at #PyConUS we are here because we want to help more people to learn #Python - thank you so much for our super star organisers Kelly and Sean

I’m at PyCon US today! 😁

Please come join us today at #PyConUS - I develop and monitor Pydantic Logfire using Pydantic Logfire, and I believe others can get so much value from our platform too!

I had a great time yesterday at the #PyConUS language summit, so many interesting discussions and good work being done by so many people. Thanks to the attendees for engaging so well with my talk about Rust use within the Python ecosystem!

Happy 10th Birthday #rustlang 🎂 To celebrate, there's a special 10% discount for @eurorust.eu tickets – only today though!

Hello from Python Language Summit at PyCon US. #PyConUS #Python

Just attended my first Python Language Summit! 🐍 A day full of fascinating discussions, ideas, and brilliant people. Grateful to be part of this amazing community.💙 #PyConUS

There were layoffs at MS yesterday and 3 #Python core devs from the Faster CPython team were caught in them. If you know of any jobs, please send them their way: Eric Snow: www.linkedin.com/in/ericsnowc... Irit Katriel: www.linkedin.com/in/irit-katr... Mark Shannon: www.linkedin.com/in/mark-shan...

There's still a long way to go on this project, but I'm hugely excited about where we're going with this. Let's make Python typing even more awesome than it already is!

Check out pyo3 if you haven't, it's rad

💖 I'm sponsoring @davidhewittdev because I think connecting Python ecosystem with Rust using PyO3 is very important github.com/sponsors/dav...

✨ cargo-semver-checks v0.25 is out ✨ Eliminates 60% of all false-positive bugs. That's how often Rust's doc(hidden) attribute caused incorrect semver lints. Solving this was way harder than it might seem: predr.ag/blog/checkin...

You love to see it: ferrous-systems.com/blog/officia...

A way to resolve 2/3rds of false positives in cargo-semver-checks 👀 🦀 Based on a prototype that @davidhewitt.bsky.social and I built together a few months ago. github.com/obi1kenobi/c...
