<p>I really can't understate how much I'm enjoying my "hard way" journey with Rust this summer. The "hard way" meaning (a) Typing in things myself, (b) Not using an IDE, (c) No LLMs, (d) Making a lot of mistakes (e) Experimenting, and (f) Figuring things on my own. </p><p>Honestly, it's been the most fun coding I've had in a long while.</p>
