I’m starting a sort of “week behind, week ahead” kind of series on this blog. This first one will be kind of short and sweet.

Week Behind

  • published my Flux Limiter GCRA rate limiter project to crates.io. Was always terrified to do this, not sure why.
  • using Claude to code a newsletter delivery service here at CrustyRustacean. I want to be self-sufficient and not rely on 3rd parties. It’s still a huge work in progress, but you’ll slowly see it take shape
  • started getting acquainted with Rama, built a simple hello-world web server, had good interactions with the framework author. More words to come on this topic

Week Ahead

  • I’m probably going to suspend the random projects I’ve been working to take a break and focus on writing some content
  • have Claude work on a user management service, will probably finish this before continuing with the newsletter piece, as maybe it can share an email management module
  • gear up for Advent of Code which starts in a couple of weeks. I can never get far, but I always like to try

That’s it for now, see you next Monday!
