[@02:44] - Quote of the week

Rust is a perfect language for a dad like me, who every day puts kids to
sleep, and tired after long day of work and chores, can sit down and possibly
write some code for the hobby open source project, even when he’s already just
half awake. And it usually just works, tend to be robust and make the day
feel extra productive.
