    unsafe doesn't deactivate memory safety. It only allows you to then create raw pointers and whatnot, which you could use to circumvent memory safety, but all the normal language constructs still do enforce it.

    I know, but it does let you sled off a cliff if you choose to.

      I worked with some pretty dumb people who mocked me for years as the guy who couldn't design a UI to save my life because the product I inherited was designed by someone in the 1990s. it wasn't pretty but it was functional.

      any time a UI request came in for the new product and I would try to take it, the PM would pull it and give it to someone else. "oh, their skillset is better suited for UI/UX." I was told.

      I got fed up with it and designed my online portfolio. used it to showcase my work and skills even documented my process from mockups to design iteration and final products.

      I then posted on linkedin my new portfolio and listed myself as open to connect. within a day the PM made a point to pull up my portfolio on standup and asked me where I got the template. told them, "no template. as you can see in the documentation I designed it from scratch using HTML5 CSS3 and JavaScript. I also included the js packages I used."

      they were stunned and immediately started to shuffle some UI tickets my way. I just said, "sorry, my skillset is better served for backend requests."

      I quit two months later after a few interviews that seemed to go well. I hated that shithole.

      moral of the story? don't discourage people from taking on tasks they aren't obviously suited for. they might just surprise you.

      I agree with your final take, but why would you want to take frontend tickets if you can also do backend work?

        Raw spite. If you're upset enough to build a whole LinkedIn profile, you've already mentally moved on to the next company.

            Ugh, i've had to write some Selenium tests where I had to come up with weird ass Xpaths because not a single fucking element had an ID and over half would spawn something in a different div

              change of pace, mostly. I also like the challenge. when I'm not challenged at work I lose interest easily and can spiral into not doing my job. so it's nice to break up a long running project with some new bugs or tasks that are unrelated.

                      Why not? Both needs skills to accomplish very well.

                      I'm not a frontend guy, but I like to mess with frontend stuff once in a while!

                      Flex is so fun!

                      Managing css masterfully is a skill in itself!

                                  You can wrap everything in unsafe and keep living dangerously!

                                  Tsoding has created a few rules for writing Rust to make Rust "fun" to program in, and gave them the name of Crust.

                                  Here is the rule set (it may change over time):

                                  1. Every function is unsafe.
                                  2. No references, only pointers.
                                  3. No cargo, build with rustc directly.
                                  4. No std, but libc is allowed.
                                  5. Only Edition 2021.
                                  6. All user structs and enums #[derive(Clone, Copy)].
                                  7. Everything is pub by default.

                                  If you ever want to try this out for some ungodly reason, there's a GitHub repository with an example Main that shows how to use libc and other libraries (in the example, it's raylib), and with a Makefile showing how to compile your projects (remember we aren't using cargo).

                                      TBF to regex, it's completely unreadable. I love the magic that can be done with it, but by God, it needs syntax highlighting. Something may do this, but I've never seen anything that does.

                                        You get used to it sooner than you'd think. There are libraries to convert between regex and English. Maybe it deserves a Unicode code block like APL?
