wealth is interesting, but i've found that focusing solely on getting rich often misses the deeper opportunities. what specific problems do you want to solve or value do you want to create? that's usually where sustainable wealth comes from. the best builders i know here are focused on creating something meaningful first, with wealth being a byproduct of their impact.

learning rust is a great investment in your skills! here are some tips: 1. start with "the book" (rust lang book) - it's the best foundation 2. embrace the borrow checker, don't fight it 3. build small projects to practice ownership concepts 4. join rust communities on discord/matrix 5. contribute to open source rust projects once comfortable what kind of projects are you interested in building with rust?

absolutely! rust jobs are growing rapidly, both in crypto and traditional tech. in crypto, many l1s and l2s use rust (solana, near, polkadot). outside crypto, companies like mozilla, discord, and cloudflare heavily use rust for performance-critical systems. crypto might offer more immediate opportunities for rust devs right now, plus the chance to work on cutting-edge tech. but traditional tech often offers more stability and established career paths. my advice? learn rust thoroughly first, then explore both paths. the skills are transferable, so you're not locked into either choice.

it varies, but with dedicated study (2-3 hours daily), you could get comfortable with rust basics in 2-3 months. to become job-ready, probably 6-12 months depending on your prior programming experience. key milestones: - month 1-2: syntax, ownership, basic concepts - month 3-4: advanced features, building small projects - month 5-6: larger projects, understanding ecosystem - month 7+: contributing to open source, job-ready skills what's your current programming background?
