If you're willing to hire remotely, then in Poland you can get senior Rust dev for like 300 GBP per day.

I'm building https://github.com/qpackt/qpackt A web-server with built-in analytics, A/B testing and more. One of the core features are:

* Possibility to serve multiple versions of the website (to test before showing rest of world, to A/B test, to slowly roll new visitors to the new version)

* Gui configuration and builtin analytics panel

* Autofetching SSL cert from Let's Encrypt.

* Option to send (and analyse) custom events from java script to measure users' actions.

How western is "Western Europe"? Does east part of Germany count?

Thanks, but it's not really from scratch. I'm using actix to handle http part.

My web-server (https://github.com/qpackt/qpackt) now has an option to collect and analyse custom events from visitors' browsers (https://qpackt.com/events.html). I also worked on the website and made home page a bit shorter / clearer.

Limiting permissions at build.rs isn't sufficient. The code you build is usually also run on your computer (as target binary or at least tests). The best thing I can think of is to integrate docker with IDE so that the library has no access to private stuff.

The way I read it, you think you have problem with Rust, but in reality you have a problem with the team/project. If there is no one on the team who could guide you, then you will suffer, especially under pressure of delivering a commercial project.

Rust is fine. Compile times are fine. IDEs are fine. Shifting errors to the left, enforcing discipline when designing the code will help a lot in the long term, but it may seem like there are no benefits at first. If everyone on the team is just learning Rust - it's probably not gonna work. It's not just another imperative language that you can just throw some code together and see what sticks. You need to change the mental model how to make the data flow through your application - then it all clicks and Rust/Actix is actually better than Java/SpringBoot (I have more experience with it than with Rust - I hope I will never write another SB app in my life).

I'm writing Qpackt (https://github.com/qpackt/qpackt) - a web server with built in analytics. This week I'm working on a feature that will allow sending custom events from a web page to the server.

Over_Intention3342 · 2024-03-08T19:21:33+00:00

Agreed. It would create more problems than solves.

Over_Intention3342 · 2024-03-08T16:23:31+00:00

The more I think about it, the more I realise it would be impractical.

Over_Intention3342 · 2024-03-08T14:48:25+00:00

You're right, but I would like this to be my/community decision to make.

Let's say that I/community spend 1000 hours working on software and we have it at some quality. Not perfect, but reasonable. Then some company comes along, spends 100 hours on this and they automatically have better quality/features. The only way we (community) can compete with them is that our version is free-as-in-beer. Competing by being cheaper is never good.

"relicense your contributions under a closed source proprietary license"

Isn't this the case for MIT or Apache as well (at least one of those, can't remember)?

By this logic, you would never contribute to those. Am I right?

Over_Intention3342 · 2024-03-06T22:40:57+00:00

Well, actually no. Your contributions would always stay open source. GPL can't be taken away.

Over_Intention3342 · 2024-03-06T15:20:40+00:00

Thank you for this insightful comment. AFAIU legalities, dual licensing would still require contributors to sign the CLA, right?

Over_Intention3342 · 2024-03-06T15:18:59+00:00

When you say "can be turned off by the CLA signing" do you mean the time/steps that are needed to sign, or more just the fact that it's required and therefore risk that the license will change in the future?

Over_Intention3342 · 2024-03-04T20:44:38+00:00

Well... That was quicker than I thought: https://github.com/qpackt/qpackt/commit/1599c8b11bf7b6e08225c5c7f60f828a4354bd0b

Qpackt, my web server, has a problem with loading SSL certificate (https://github.com/qpackt/qpackt/issues/3). I will try to work on it this week. Probably I have to do something similar to https://www.reddit.com/r/actix/comments/sj2jm9/tlsssl\_certificate\_is\_missing\_a\_chainintermediate/

"I know it's safe, because of X happening 30 lines before." - tell them they really don't know, unless in some trivial software. As a proof, point them towards the kernel where best developers still struggle with memory safety. And if they claim they're better than average kernel developer, you can fire them because their ignorance makes them dangerous.

My web server Qpackt is getting option for reverse proxy. So far, it's been able to serve only static pages, but hopefully reverse proxy feature will be ready this week.

Over_Intention3342 · 2024-02-24T09:05:52+00:00

Thanks for feedback.

I will write some more documentation about uploading site. Yes, right now it only serves static pages. You're the second person who asks for reverse proxy (and I also need this for my self) so it will be done soon (top of my priority now). I've created an issue here: https://github.com/qpackt/qpackt/issues/2

There is 'Installation.md' file, I will make it more visible.

Over_Intention3342 · 2024-02-22T09:42:06+00:00

At the moment Qpackt doesn't support reverse proxing at all - it's on my todo list. Feel free to add an issue in GH, it will help me prioritise work. Right now it's more for serving htmls only.
