Building ambitious software — Jonathan Kelley, Dioxus Labs & Cognition

תקציר מקורי באנגליתThe Dioxus team got excited, maxed out their coding agent subscriptions, and turned out tens of thousands of lines of Rust covering features they had wanted for years. Almost none of it cleared the bar for merging. Those lines sat in draft, and Jonathan Kelley says they are sitting there still. He calls the failure mode becoming a slop cannon. Kelley founded Dioxus Labs five years ago, spending his last undergraduate summer on a cross platform Rust app framework instead of taking an internship, and the project now carries roughly 37,000 GitHub stars and an estimated 200 million cumulative end users across apps from voting software to collision avoidance for satellites. Getting there meant building almost everything from scratch, including a rendering engine with a browser grade CSS engine
