about a year ago i wrote a post declaring, with the serene confidence of a man who has never once been burned, that testing was a waste of time for a solo developer. write the feature, click around, push to prod, let the users find the bugs. i called it — and i am quoting myself here — “testing enlightenment stage three.”

i’d like to retract about sixty percent of that.

i didn't leave go for rust. i split my stack.

“so are you a go guy or a rust guy now?”

somebody asked me that recently and i realised i’d been dodging it for the better part of a year. the honest answer is annoying, which is why nobody likes it: i’m both. and it’s not a fence i’m sitting on, it’s a split — i write go and i write rust, on purpose, for different jobs. the moment i stopped treating “which language” as a personality question and started treating it as a tooling question, the whole tired argument just dissolved.
