It's about how this website +(the one you are reading right now) works and I am so excited to release this +out into the wild. + +Want to know more? Here's a teaser: + + + +Extra credit for anyone that can +at-mention me on Twitter with a screenshot of the game that the background in +that video comes from at the exact same spot! + +Here are the promo images I've been given: + +![](https://cdn.xeiaso.net/file/christine-static/blog/Conf42+Rust+Xe+Iaso.png) + +The [Conf42](https://www.conf42.com/rustlang2022) version of this talk will be +live on M09 01 2022 at around 18:00 UTC. + +> Blog engines are a fantastic opportunity for self-expression and +> overengineering things. This is the story of my blog engine through the years +> as I have made it faster and faster. I currently serve pages so fast that +> timing how long it took ended up taking longer than serving the pages in the +> first place. In this talk, I will go over how and why my blog engine in Rust +> is so fast and what you can learn from it to make your web applications even +> faster. + +![](https://cdn.xeiaso.net/file/christine-static/blog/GambiConf+2022+Promo.webp) + +The [GambiConf](https://gambiconf.dev/) version of this talk will be live on M09 +10 2022 at around 14:05 UTC. + +> Dynamic webapps don't have to be slow. In this talk I will break out how I +> overengineered my blog with Rust to the point that people think it's a static +> site. + +As an extra teaser, here's the first paragraph of my talk: + +> Speed. Safety. Development experience. Fearless concurrency. These are all +> things that you associate with programs written in Rust. How about some more +> buzzwords? Words like elegant? That's a good one. I'm Xe Iaso and I'm going to +> share the gory details on how my blog works, and why people often mistake it +> for a static website. Buckle up and kick back, we're going to learn about the +> internet today. + +Want to hear more? Tune to one of those two conferences! Both of them have a +fascinating set of talks that I am going to enjoy watching. + +As always, I'll get a page up on my website with the slides, talk transcript, +youtube embed and more! I'm looking at having this page up by M09 12 2022. +If you subscribe to my [Patreon](https://patreon.com/cadey) you'll get access to +my raw scripts (including draft scripts) and initial notes so you can see the +evolutions that took place in my creative process. -- cgit v1.2.3
