   you have picked up so much meta knowledge (debugging, testing, build optimizations), domain understanding and soft skills that making the switch might be less tough than you think. Plenty of coins in Rust land, too!

    Those numbers are phenomenal, hard to believe to be honest. Tesla owners, testing their Tesla's to publish results in a pro Tesla publication isn't exactly what I'm looking for. There must be scientific measurements writeups
