At this point, I’ve had enough successful positions at hard jobs that I don’t question my competency when I fail a pop quiz.
I still don’t know what my favourite Rust crate is. I feel I should have one after being asked more than a couple of times.
- ddoolin 2y agoYou've actually been asked that...? That's a trip. "Whichever one solves the problem at hand."
- sshine 2y agoThree times, yes. I don’t have one, though. Much like I don’t have a favourite number or colour any more. I have favourite sets of numbers and colour palettes!
- jessekv 2y agoI'd say regex, mostly for the well written blog posts. https://blog.burntsushi.net/regex-internals/ https://blog.burntsushi.net/regex-internals/

- fnfjfk 2y agoSerde? Clap? It’s not the objectively best crate, just one you like a lot and think is well designed. Both of those are “wow, this is way better and yet simpler than every language I’ve used before” crates for me.
- erikerikson 2y agoSounds like they are trying to discover good ones
- fwungy 2y ago"Favorite" just means one you use a lot. It's like when people ask you what your favorite movie or album is. They're not asking you to literally move to a desert island with only that, it just means one you like that comes to mind easily enough.
