I’m working on a music collection manager with a TUI for myself. I prefer to buy and own music instead of just streaming and I have a selhosted server with ZFS and backups where I keep the music and from which I can stream or download to my devices. There are websites which help you keep track of what you own and have wishlists, but they don’t really satisfy my needs so I decided to create my own. Its main feature is to have an easier overview of what albums I own and don’t own for the artists I’m interested in and to maintain a wishlist based on this for my next purchases. I’m doing it in Rust, because it’s a hobby project and I want to get better at Rust. However, it has paid off in other ways. The type system has allowed me to create a UI that is very safe to add features to without worrying about crashes. Sometimes I actually have to think why it didn’t crash only to find that Rust forced me to correctly handle an optional outcome before even getting to an undefined situation.
It does not seem like you heard the arguments presented in the article. It isn’t about being offended by any left or right wing politics, but because women engineers and scientists were uncomfortable about it for a variety of reasons. In a field which struggles to attract and keep female talent, this is a pretty big thing. The model herself spoke out and asked to be “retired from tech”.
