As the year wrapped up, I spent some time reflecting on my transition from a CyberSecurity engineer to Principal engineer which inspired me to write a blog about the steep learning curve of writing quality coding and—how I used #rust to reinforce my skills. Check it out and let me know what you think!

Sure, sex is great, but do you remember the first time you recognised the need for an explicit lifetime annotation before the compiler told you?

#libobscura grand opening!

Libobscura is a friendly library to use cameras on Linux.

At least that's the goal.

The objectives are:

- hard to use it wrong
- get a RGB buffer in ten lines of code
- easy to add support for new devices
- no mailing list :P

I want #linuxmobile and other #photo and #video workflows to become easy, and manufacturers to spend less time adding support (hi me 2 years ago).

You wanna write confusing Rust?

🦀 I found the perfect blog post: https://zkrising.com/writing/rusts-most-subtle-syntax/

⬇️ And apparently this Rust code is valid 🤯

#libobscura progress: a demo camera app!

So I've proved (some of) the concepts:

- API without segfaults
- zero-copy image passing
- GPU accelerated decoding

Yes, the picture is mirrored upside-down, why do you ask?

Next: clean up #GPU abstractions and publish a website.
