so, a friend has been trying to learn to program for the past year and a half or so, by doing coding puzzles. I've helped her a bit! when she wanted a bigger project, she started writing QR code generator entirely from scratch, in Rust, which is incredibly tricky. and look!! ðŸ˜
this is just an incredibly impressive feat to me, all things considered.
20 months ago she had no idea what a trait, or a generic type, or move/copy, or mutable reference, or lifetime, or were, and she definitely couldn't have written this then. it's so cool to watch someone you know learn a new skill!!!
(especially considering that there were long periods where she had to take a break from learning for various reasons)
oh no, i wrote <many other things> and it got parsed as html and rendered as if i didn't type that. haha
SHE DID IT EVERYONE https://twitter.com/cirkelnio/status/1716584040210309548 (before the data was hardcoded or something like that i think)
