At least they put their money where their mouth is. I for one have seen a lot of the productivity hits dissipate with the advent of remote work. It's at the expense of basic human psychology though. You really can't hire jerks, management cannot be "game players", and meetings need to be minimal and ad hoc. Remote work companies avoiding those 3 things eat in person companies lunch every day of the week as far as hours in and product out.

Looks like a nice project! What library are you using for a front end here?

It's really not that hard. You just need to practice a bit and get over some concepts. Highly recommend buying a rust book to supplement the online rust book, or getting involving the a forum/chatroom and asking questions. The community realizes it's a bit of a brain shock, but once you get over it, it's actually pretty easy to do 99% of the things you need to do. Even, easier than in other languages in a lot of cases. A few areas are tricky/hard, but if you walk before you run (which most people SHOULD do in other languages) it's entirely doable.

The problem with an easier rust is... These are the rules for using your computer safely. Like, this is what you should be doing when reading/writing C code. Or C++. So learning rust is hard, but it makes you a better programmer faster IMO. Also... once you write rust code it's usually good, no weird surprises Saturday at 2:00am in production, it's just done and works.

Anyway wishing you the best, but be careful asking for "an easier rust". An easier "Rust" probably isn't safe and you might as well just be writing any other language.

Brian Eno is somewhat of a god.

Probably one of my favorite OSS projects to date. I'm not a musician at all but playing with it is a lot of fun. Just make sure the volume isn't set too high :P

Don't worry after you install it it doesn't exactly get any better. Take this as a sign :P

Can someone give the TL;DR here? What kinds of projects go on here?

Make it make sense. Offer Postdocs an actual career path not based on broken tenure and disposable adjunct professor roles, with hundreds if not thousands of applicants. Why would someone, with any field of study, be a "scum of the earth" post doc for 1/5th the salary and double the hours required as a junior python developer role? Moreso, post doc'ing for the wrong professor can ruin your career, why risk that either?

If the pay isn't good, the culture and work should be. In academia, that's almost never true. I couldn't support my family, nor ironically pay my families student loan payments as a post-doc, the decision was an easy one to make... But if I were really doing it for the love, the love isn't there.

You might think "oh here's an industry person who doesn't like academia", wrong. I loved research, writing papers, teaching people stuff, forming collaborations, etc. Just can't make it survivable financially or psychologically.
