Recently I finished building a dapp on Solana with Rust on Build Space. I could take the time to fan girl about it but tldr I think Solana is the better platform. Why? Lower fees, faster transaction, and less steps to dev. Rust for me isn’t too challenging as I did C++ in college. What did get me was how strict Rust is. I spent 3 days on an error and the issue was I used “demo” and not “Demo”. Crazy right? That’s part of this dev life though.

I was really on the fence about this but I’ve decided to build my Rust/Solana skills. How? I want to work with the Mango team and see how far that goes. That not it though. I will be streaming on twitch (with saved streams going to YouTube) as I learn and contribute to open source things. I will also try to tweet tips and tricks along the way.

This will be a long form recap letter. Up to 3 new articles, any streams that happened, and any “church announcements” I might have.

Ah before I forget follow the twitter account here as well please.
