Do you have any recommendations?
I assume this is the one you’re talking about https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/
I was curious, went to the end (page 699!) and it’s pretty interesting. But obviously it’s hard to find the important ones.

Microsoft's backwards compatibility is insane
Yes, Raymond Chen describes such fixes in [several blog posts](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/) and in his book The Old New Thing. Check the old posts, back at the beginning. There are posts about to which lengths they went to ensure buggy applications still worked after an update or a fix.

Rustlings is the greatest thing ever
However, I stumbled across Tauri (as a replacement for Electron), and installed Rust just to get Tauri to work. A few days later, I installed Rustlings (https://github.com/rust-lang/rustlings) on a whim, and did the first exercise.
