Col.… ## [Organizations Fail When the Environment is Not Designed](https://montessorimakers.substack.com/p/organizations-fail-when-the-environment) _2026-08-05 · Hannah Richardson · Montessori Makers Group Substack_ I have spent years inside schools and mission-driven organizations. ## [Maine Veterans Spotlight: Episode 89](https://wgan.com/podcasts/maine-veterans-spotlight-episode-89/) _2026-08-02 · dmartignetti · Maine Veterans Spotlight – Newsradio WGAN_ We had the honor of covering the Military Order of the Purple Heart National Convention. We sat down with a… ## [Accept your Doppler invite (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/5uobzu4fbLqQ) _2026-08-02 · **Sponsored**_ Create your Doppler account using the invite code you received. ## [JetBrains](https://corrode.dev/podcast/s06e09-jetbrains/) _2026-07-30 · Matthias Endler · Corrode Rust Consulting_ Welcome to the final episode of this season of Rust in Production. My guest is Orhun Parmaksız from JetBrains, and we talk about building developer tools with Rust. JetBrains is best known for IntelliJ IDEA, Kotlin, and a long line of IDEs for professional software teams. In the Rust world, that now includes RustRover: a commercial IDE built on the IntelliJ platform, with deep Rust support for… ## [Example Leader's Calendar](https://montessorimakers.substack.com/p/example-leaders-calendar) _2026-07-29 · Hannah Richardson · Montessori Makers Group Substack_ re: The Head of School's Calendar as Infrastructure ## [The Head of School's Calendar as Infrastructure](https://montessorimakers.substack.com/p/the-head-of-schools-calendar-as-infrastructure) _2026-07-29 · Hannah Richardson · Montessori Makers Group Substack_ A head of school I have been coaching for two years sent me her calendar this June, in advance of a call we had scheduled to look at what her year had actually been. ## [Understanding Dyn Compatibility](https://corrode.dev/blog/dyn-compatibility/) _2026-07-29 · Matthias Endler · Corrode Rust Consulting_ In Rust, some traits can’t be used as trait objects with dyn Trait . When a trait can’t be used with dynamic dispatch, we say it’s “not dyn compatible.” 1 This has an impact on how you can use these traits in your code. I think that’s one area where the Rust compiler could print a more helpful error message. Fixing the issue is mostly about tradeoffs between compile-time generics and runtime… ## [The Playbook We Never Wrote](https://montessorimakers.substack.com/p/the-playbook-we-never-wrote) _2026-07-28 · Hannah Richardson · Montessori Makers Group Substack_ In this episode, I talk about the employee every school eventually has — the one who yells, who makes people uncomfortable, who makes the whole building brace before a meeting. ## [Maine Veteran Spotlight 7/26/26](https://wgan.com/podcasts/maine-veteran-spotlight-7-26-26/) _2026-07-26 · dmartignetti · Maine Veterans Spotlight – Newsradio WGAN_ On this week’s episode, we talk with Mark Schmitz, founder of the Freedom 13 Foundation. Mark founded the organization in… ## [Hardening Rust Code For Production](https://corrode.dev/blog/hardening-rust/) _2026-07-23 · Matthias Endler · Corrode Rust Consulting_ We talked about patterns for defensive programming in Rust before, in which implicit invariants that aren’t enforced by the compiler lead to utter misery. But being careful isn’t enough! Even valid code can fail at runtime in ways that are hard to predict and control. That’s what we’re covering next. This article is for you if you want to… make your code resilient at runtime harden your Rust code… ## [Observation as Infrastructure](https://montessorimakers.substack.com/p/observation-as-infrastructure) _2026-07-22 · Hannah Richardson · Montessori Makers Group Substack_ A guide I have worked with for years told me at the end of last school year that she had not been observed by her head of school in any meaningful way since the head's first month at the school four years ago. ## [Maine Veteran Spotlight 7/19/26](https://wgan.com/podcasts/maine-veteran-spotlight-7-19-26/) _2026-07-19 · dmartignetti · Maine Veterans Spotlight – Newsradio WGAN_ On this week’s episode of the Maine Veterans Spotlight, we talk with the team at Veterans Forward, a program of… ## [When Rust Gets Ugly](https://corrode.dev/blog/ugly/) _2026-07-17 · Matthias Endler · Corrode Rust Consulting_ In workshops I often see people getting frustrated with Rust. Here’s some of the feedback I hear: “The borrow checker rules make it hard to write code that compiles.” “It’s overwhelming! The syntax is complex with too many symbols and operators. 1 ” “It’s difficult to transition to Rust from .” “The code is not satisfying to read, it feels clunky and verbose.” From these frustrations, people often… ## [AI News Summaries & Audio (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/ak6N3mRw0KT8) _2026-07-16 · **Sponsored**_ Tap an article for an AI summary and an audio briefing. ## [The Rust Foundation](https://corrode.dev/podcast/s06e08-rust-foundation/) _2026-07-16 · Matthias Endler · Corrode Rust Consulting_ Most Rust developers use the language, compiler, package registry, and tooling every day without thinking too much about the organization that helps keep parts of that ecosystem funded and sustainable. This episode is a re-introduction to the Rust Foundation: what it does, what it does not do, how it relates to the Rust Project, and why that distinction matters for teams using Rust professionally.… ## [Hiring as Infrastructure](https://montessorimakers.substack.com/p/hiring-as-infrastructure) _2026-07-15 · Hannah Richardson · Montessori Makers Group Substack_ A board chair I work with called me last August about a hire that had just gone visibly wrong. ## [Maine Veteran Spotlight 7/12/26](https://wgan.com/podcasts/maine-veteran-spotlight-7-12-26/) _2026-07-12 · dmartignetti · Maine Veterans Spotlight – Newsradio WGAN_ On this episode of the Maine Veterans Spotlight, we talk with US Army Veteran Seth Brown about his service and… ## [Family Communication as Infrastructure](https://montessorimakers.substack.com/p/family-communication-as-infrastructure) _2026-07-08 · Hannah Richardson · Montessori Makers Group Substack_ A head of school I work with sat across from a father in early May to deliver news about his son. ## [Rising Academies](https://corrode.dev/podcast/s06e07-rising-academies/) _2026-07-02 · Matthias Endler · Corrode Rust Consulting_ Most Rust in Production stories are about scale and performance. This one is a story about low-cost phones and patchy mobile connections in Africa, where a student is learning maths over WhatsApp. The whole point is to support hundreds of thousands of students cheaply enough to run at government scale. My guest is Dylan Brown, a Senior Engineering Manager at Rising Academies, and he comes at Rust… ## [Money as infrastructure: building Montessori finance around how Montessori schools actually fund themselves](https://montessorimakers.substack.com/p/money-as-infrastructure-building) _2026-07-01 · Hannah Richardson · Montessori Makers Group Substack_ A financial aid committee at a school I work with met one evening in February to decide on the year’s tuition assistance awards. ## [ClickHouse](https://corrode.dev/podcast/s06e06-clickhouse/) _2026-06-18 · Matthias Endler · Corrode Rust Consulting_ There’s a particular kind of pressure that comes with maintaining software at the very bottom of someone else’s stack. ClickHouse lives in exactly that spot: roughly 1.5 million lines of mostly C++ and tens of millions of tests every single day. So what happens when you start introducing Rust into a codebase like that? Not as a rewrite, but linked into a C++ server with a CMake build process that… ## [Rust Prevents Data Races, Not Race Conditions](https://corrode.dev/blog/rust-prevents-data-races-not-race-conditions/) _2026-06-12 · Matthias Endler · Corrode Rust Consulting_ Safe Rust eliminates all data races. What it does not do is prevent race conditions in the broader sense: deadlocks, livelocks, and logic bugs in your synchronization. What’s the difference? These two terms get used interchangeably all the time, even by experienced developers, so it’s worth writing down exactly what Rust promises and what it does not. What Is a Data Race? To quote the Rustonomicon… ## [Veo](https://corrode.dev/podcast/s06e05-veo/) _2026-06-04 · Matthias Endler · Corrode Rust Consulting_ I don’t know about you, but to me there are few things as interesting as the hardware/software interface: the point where carefully written code meets the messy, physical world of sensors, lenses, and real-time constraints. It’s where a clever abstraction either holds up or falls apart the moment a real signal hits it. That makes Veo a perfect guest. The Copenhagen-based company builds AI-powered… ## [Design, Development, and Disarmament](https://stephenokey.substack.com/p/design-development-and-disarmament) _2026-05-30 · Stephen Okey · Okeydoxy_ First thoughts on Magnifica Humanitas ## [Meet Claude, an AI assistant (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/rrCvXNx1kOvu) _2026-05-30 · **Sponsored**_ Chat with Claude at claude.ai — a conversational AI assistant. ## [Migrating from Go to Rust](https://corrode.dev/learn/migration-guides/go-to-rust/) _2026-05-21 · Matthias Endler · Corrode Rust Consulting_ Out of all the migrations I help teams with, Go to Rust is a bit of an outlier. It’s not a question of “is Rust faster?” or “does Rust have types?”, Go already gets you most of the way there. The discussion is mostly about correctness guarantees , runtime tradeoffs , and developer ergonomics . A quick disclaimer before we start: this guide is heavily backend-focused . Backend services are where Go… ## [Rust for Linux Live](https://corrode.dev/podcast/s06e04-rust4linux/) _2026-05-21 · Matthias Endler · Corrode Rust Consulting_ Hot off the press: this episode is a live recording from Rust Week in Utrecht, just two days ago. On stage with me are two people who hardly need an introduction in the Linux world: Greg Kroah-Hartman , Linux Foundation Fellow, stable kernel maintainer and an embassador for the kernel, and Alice Ryhl , core maintainer of Tokio and one of the driving forces behind Rust for Linux at Google. I have… ## [NLnet Labs](https://corrode.dev/podcast/s06e03-nlnet-labs/) _2026-05-07 · Matthias Endler · Corrode Rust Consulting_ Every time you load a website, send an email, or update an app, you’re quietly relying on a handful of unglamorous services that route your packets to the right place: DNS to translate names into addresses, and BGP to figure out how to actually get there. When these systems break, or get attacked, the Internet doesn’t just slow down but stops working. For more than 25 years, NLnet Labs has been… ## [Bugs Rust Won't Catch](https://corrode.dev/blog/bugs-rust-wont-catch/) _2026-04-29 · Matthias Endler · Corrode Rust Consulting_ In April 2026, Canonical disclosed 44 CVEs in uutils, the Rust reimplementation of GNU coreutils that ships by default since 25.10. Most of them came out of an external audit commissioned ahead of the 26.04 LTS. I read through the list and thought there’s a lot to learn from it. What’s notable is that all of these bugs landed in a production Rust codebase, written by people who knew what they were… ## [Helsing](https://corrode.dev/podcast/s06e02-helsing/) _2026-04-23 · Matthias Endler · Corrode Rust Consulting_ Jon Gjengset is one of the most recognizable names in the Rust community, the author of Rust for Rustaceans , a prolific live-streamer, and a long-time contributor to the Rust ecosystem. Today he works as a Principal Engineer at Helsing, a European defense company that has made Rust a foundational part of its engineering stack. Helsing builds safety-critical software for real-world defense… ## [Cloudsmith](https://corrode.dev/podcast/s06e01-cloudsmith/) _2026-04-09 · Matthias Endler · Corrode Rust Consulting_ Rust adoption can be loud, like when companies such as Microsoft, Meta, and Google announce their use of Rust in high-profile projects. But there are countless smaller teams quietly using Rust to solve real-world problems, sometimes even without noticing. This episode tells one such story. Cian and his team at Cloudsmith have been adopting Rust in their Python monolith not because they wanted to… ## [Memory-Unsafe Code Is a Liability](https://corrode.dev/blog/memory-safety/) _2026-02-27 · Matthias Endler · Corrode Rust Consulting_ If you are responsible for software that powers critical infrastructure, handles sensitive data, or ships to customers in regulated markets, you have to pay attention to the regulations forming around software security. Governments around the world are converging on a single message: memory-unsafe code is a liability . New regulations, executive guidance, and procurement requirements are making it… ## [Gama Space](https://corrode.dev/podcast/s05e09-gama-space/) _2026-01-22 · Matthias Endler · Corrode Rust Consulting_ Space exploration demands software that is reliable, efficient, and able to operate in the harshest environments imaginable. When a spacecraft deploys a solar sail millions of kilometers from Earth, there’s no room for memory bugs, race conditions, or software failures. This is where Rust’s robustness guarantees become mission-critical. In this episode, we speak with Sebastian Scholz, an engineer… ## [Radar](https://corrode.dev/podcast/s05e08-radar/) _2026-01-08 · Matthias Endler · Corrode Rust Consulting_ Radar processes billions of location events daily, powering geofencing and location APIs for companies like Uber, Lyft, and thousands of other apps. When their existing infrastructure started hitting performance and cost limits, they built HorizonDB, a specialized database which replaced both Elasticsearch and MongoDB with a custom single binary written in Rust and backed by RocksDB. In this… ## [2025 Holiday Special](https://corrode.dev/podcast/s05e07-holiday/) _2025-12-25 · Matthias Endler · Corrode Rust Consulting_ As we close the chapter on 2025 and celebrate our second year of ‘Rust in Production’, it’s time to reflect on the highlights of the 17 episodes since our last holiday special. We looked at Rust from all angles, from cloud infrastructure to embedded systems, and from robotics to satellite technology. One thing that all these stories have in common is the passion and dedication of the Rust… ## [Boom, Doom, or Draw](https://stephenokey.substack.com/p/boom-doom-or-draw) _2025-12-19 · Stephen Okey · Okeydoxy_ A Post Mortem on my AI and Theology Course ## [Rust for Linux](https://corrode.dev/podcast/s05e06-rust4linux/) _2025-12-11 · Matthias Endler · Corrode Rust Consulting_ Bringing Rust into the Linux kernel is one of the most ambitious modernization efforts in open source history. The Linux kernel, with its decades of C code and deeply ingrained development practices, is now opening its doors to a memory-safe language. It’s the first time in over 30 years that a new programming language has been officially adopted for kernel development. But the journey is far from… ## [Waiting in the Spirit](https://stephenokey.substack.com/p/waiting-in-the-spirit) _2025-12-03 · Stephen Okey · Okeydoxy_ An Advent Reflection on Simeon and the Rich Official ## [Canonical](https://corrode.dev/podcast/s05e05-canonical/) _2025-11-27 · Matthias Endler · Corrode Rust Consulting_ What does it take to rewrite the foundational components of one of the world’s most popular Linux distributions? Ubuntu serves over 12 million daily desktop users alone, and the systems that power it, from sudo to core utilities, have been running for decades with what Jon Seager, VP of Engineering for Ubuntu at Canonical, calls “shaky underpinnings.” In this episode, we talk to Jon about the bold… ## [Roc](https://corrode.dev/podcast/s05e04-roc/) _2025-11-13 · Matthias Endler · Corrode Rust Consulting_ Creating a new programming language from scratch is a monumental undertaking. In this episode, we talk to Richard Feldman, creator of the Roc programming language, about building a language that is fast, friendly, and functional. We discuss why the Roc team moved away from using Rust as a host language and instead is in the process of migrating to Zig. What was the decision-making process like?… ## [Patterns for Defensive Programming in Rust](https://corrode.dev/blog/defensive-programming/) _2025-11-08 · Matthias Endler · Corrode Rust Consulting_ I have a hobby. Whenever I see the comment // this should never happen in code, I try to find out the exact conditions under which it could happen. And in 90% of cases, I find a way to do just that. More often than not, the developer just hasn’t considered all edge cases or future code changes. In fact, the reason why I like this comment so much is that it often marks the exact spot where strong… ## [Cloudflare](https://corrode.dev/podcast/s05e03-cloudflare/) _2025-10-30 · Matthias Endler · Corrode Rust Consulting_ How do you build a system that handles 90 million requests per second? That’s the scale that Cloudflare operates at, processing roughly 25% of all internet traffic through their global network of 330+ edge locations.
