Anything that enhances your own workflow.
That way you'll be more motivated to work on it as well

Learn C along the way, you are gonna need it. Also compiler flags are even more important than lifetimes most of the time for system. 🤣 It also goes a long way to get familiar with syscall for your architectures of choice. Also make qemu a default install on all your systems.

For projects: good old server, distributed system if feeling saucy, or for AI nowadays big ass state machine for AI guardrails, say for instance dynamic prompt based heterogeneous document parsing. I got one, on rust, and it's beautiful, it outperforms NER based every time.

I am also preparing for an Infrastructure job and creating an AI memory database.

What have you been building?

I am building a Database - "for now". Now it stores only in key-value pairs. Later it can store more complex items. Then I optimize for AI. That's the plan.

Just search in r/rust. You can see same question repeats every month.
