Rising with Dylan Brown
from Rust in Production · host Matthias Endler
Most Rust in Production stories are about scale and performance. This one is a story about low-cost phones and patchy mobile connections in Africa, where a student is learning maths over WhatsApp. The whole point is to support hundreds of thousands of students cheaply enough to run at government scale.My guest is Dylan Brown, a Senior Engineering Manager at Rising Academies, and he comes at Rust from an angle of being the person who signs off on using Rust for a new project.For Dylan, it's about what Rust enables: lower compute costs, boring deployments, painless refactors, and code reviews that focus on business logic instead of null checks.
