A ‘Software Developer’ Knows Enough to Deliver Working Software Alone and in Teams
It depends on the scale of the project but man, if you can't build a simple CRUD app in your preferred stack and deploy it in some fashion (even if it's just a binary posted on some website, kinda like Exa) then that's just disappointing...

Which 2nd language should I learn?
Can compile to a single binary to build tools like exa
- Exa Is Deprecated
- ls -l IN COLOR!

What's your favorite Go architecture for a new micro-service? Here's mine...
Try https://github.com/ogham/exa and exa -T -L2 command . It will generate a good folder structure tree to update the question

macOS Command-Line Tools You Might Not Know About
Some of us don't want all of GNU's utilities; just on an as-needed basis. They're not as needed as they once were.
Many of these utilities have been rewritten in Rust and have more modern features.
For example, instead of ls, I use exa [1]. Or ripgrep [2] instead of grep.

List of apps I use every day - Version 2023
fish: A very fast shell with various customization options to streamline daily commands. I discovered it through this post by @caarlos0, where he provides more details about performance and the differences between fish and zsh. Additionally, I use some CLI utilities like delta, exa, and ripgrep. Here's my dotfiles for fish.

Everything I Installed on My New Mac
I still use exa for listing files in the terminal. It's a modern replacement for ls with a lot of useful features. With icons, colors, and git integration, it makes listing files much nicer.

Cross-platform Rust rewrite of the GNU coreutils
Not that it should represent the rubicon of when to/not to rewrite code, but when you do, you do trade one set of bugs for a new set of bugs: https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/issues

The First Stable Release of a Rust-Rewrite Sudo Implementation
Would be interesting to see a a Debian derivative that combines this with the Rust Implementation Of GNU Coreutils.[1] Could be a big win for memory safety and performance.
- New Version of the Rust Coreutils
- best software for linux

Looking for a small boring rust project to help my learning.
uutils /coreutils is also a great project. It has many contributors, and it also is a great resource to learn.

I have years of experience in vulnerability analysis including several 0-day discovery, and this bug [buffer overflow] seems totally safe.
Already did it. Checkmate, as i believe your people say.

There is already a rust implementation of coreutiils that uses a single binary like BusyBox or toybox. https://github.com/uutils/coreutils

Rust is ugly, doesn’t even let you write simple data structures, unsafe rust is not even defined, makes the simplest things so hard to write and did I mention it’s ugly?
Ah yes, std, that famous crate that is unusable for systems programming. God forbid anyone do any "systems" programming that uses std.
