    Craft & Synthesis: Creating Software With Less Waste

Introduction

This is a book born of mistakes, of failures - my own and others - of paths trodden that are better left alone, and of tidbits of wisdom that, I hope, will help you reach your goals faster and with less regret. Also: empathy is the best productivity hack, which I’ll explain later.
It’s not exclusively a coding book - it’s an “everything else” book so that when you do write code, you’re solving the right problems at the right time and in the right way for that specific context.
I have no credentials to offer, but programming language design and related philosophies have been my special interest for 22 years. I’ve been creating and shipping projects solo since I was a wee thing, and I have read tens of millions of lines of code.

## Todo: explain lifetimes better in the Rust Book
<nathanael> Why does rust care about lifetime bounds on pointers to generic types?
<delma> iamrohit7: yes if you represent graph like that
* rschiffl1n has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
<Moonlightning> iamrohit7: I guess. And to remove a node, you'd...have to travel to each of its neighbors in turn, removing that edge and the dropping neighbor's Rc holding self, and then use Rc::try_unwrap()
<delma> there is other reprentantions too
<Moonlightning> Or...unsafe black magic
* mou has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
<Moonlightning> dinfuehr: names instead of just ids?
<nathanael> Ex: https://gist.github.com/nathanaeljones/80792ff3ffb5854f7a18ba40f60c6770
<Moonlightning> dinfuehr: AFAIK, Display is only for types that have a single obvious human-readable representation. It's not implemented for most types.
