Recently, a change to a utility in the Rust toolchain changed behavior in a way that impacted users. Rather than being a story of frustration and aspersions, it was a story of a community working... and working well together! Bryan and Adam were joined by Dirkjan Ochtman (of the rustup team) and Steve Klabnik to discuss.In addition to Bryan Cantrill and Adam Leventhal, we were joined by special guest, Dirkjan Ochtman, and treasured colleague, Steve Klabnik.Some of the topics we hit on, in the order that we hit them:Steve: A Happy Day For RustPRs needed!If we got something wrong or missed something, please file a PR!

A Crate is Born
Bryan and Adam were joined by Oxide colleagues Andrew, Rain, and John to talk about creating a general purpose crate for diffing structures. More generally, how do you know when something new is needed? How do you know when the investment of time to validate an idea is warranted? Software engineering is hard! (And also: general enthusiasm for Rust macros.)In addition to Bryan Cantrill and Adam Leventhal, we were joined by Oxide colleagues, Andrew Stone, Rain Paharia, and John Gallagher.Some of the topics we hit on, in the order that we hit them:Checking in on Bryan's 1 Year Intel CEO predictionHiring letter to Intel's co-CEOFrom The Register "Re-hire Gelsinger!"Oxide RFD 457: Control plane sled lifecycleOxide RFD 459: Control plane component lifecycledaft cratediffus crateIf we got something wrong or missed something, please file a PR!

Transparency in Hardware/Software Interfaces
The value of transparency in engineering can have huge benefits--nothing can compare to the momentum of an enthusiastic community! Bryan and Adam discuss the value of transparency at the hardware/software interface with Oxide colleague, Ryan Goodfellow. Transparency can be scary--especially in the hardware domain where secrecy is the norm--but once we knock down some of those fears, the business benefits start to emerge.In addition to Bryan Cantrill and Adam Leventhal, we were joined by Oxide colleague, Ryan Goodfellow.Some of the topics we hit on, in the order that we hit them:Oxide RFD 552: Transparency in Hardware/Software InterfacesBelling the catopenSILKerckhoff's principlePRs needed!If we got something wrong or missed something, please file a PR!
