Today, like the past few days, I’ve spent nearly all my free time diving into the Rust + Deno ecosystem. It’s a rabbit hole I can’t seem to escape—but I’m loving every second of it!
Here’s a list of links and resources I’ve come across that seem particularly valuable. Some are comprehensive collections, so it’ll take a bit of time to figure out which ones to follow deeply.
As a general rule, I don’t want to learn Rust by watching endless tutorials. Instead, I prefer a hands-on approach: reading interesting codebases and experimenting directly.
As a Node.js developer, I find Deno fascinating. It’s a project that offers so much to learn, from low-level programming concepts to building finished products.
Here’s a list of the best resources I discovered today:
Recommended Resources
An “awesome” list with tons of useful links, especially the blog section.
A highly curated list for all expertise levels.Internals of Deno
At the moment, this is the most interesting one for me. It dives into Deno’s architecture and internals.
I’ve decided to start with the last one since I’m really curious about how Deno works behind the scenes (at least at a high level). Over the past few days, I’ve particularly enjoyed learning about V8 isolates.
I’ll keep you updated if I discover more interesting resources!
When Rust and Deno Take Over Your Side Projects
Okay, the title might be a bit long and clunky, but it perfectly sums up my current situation. I’m enjoying learning about V8, Rust, and Deno, but it’s eating up way too much of my free time.
I’m sure I’m not alone in struggling to find the right balance between work, life, side projects, and study.
Last month, I started a new side project—simple enough for a solo developer (at least in its early stages) but interesting enough to eventually grow into a real product.
For me, one of the best parts of my job is creating software or products that can improve people’s daily lives.
I don’t think you need a groundbreaking idea to create a good product. Often, just listening to people or friends is enough to uncover small niches where you can build something useful.
This process is a great way to improve all the skills related to product development—and I’m not just talking about coding. It’s also about system design, writing good requirements, documentation, choosing the right tools, testing the market, gathering feedback, finding early adopters, and so much more.
In the next few days, I’ll write a blog post to introduce my new side project. My goal is to keep it alive, at least until I have a working proof of concept.
Introducing The 10-Minute Company
To stay focused on developing my project, I’ve decided to share my journey in a new series called “The 10-Minute Company”. I’ll document my side projects, starting from scratch and working toward a functional PoC.
Stay tuned for all the details! 🚀
