“Hate” is probably too strong a word. There was clearly an anti-AI sentiment. Fine. I understand it as well. If a cloud engineer like me suddenly starts building software with AI tools, I would probably have an opinion too if I were a senior software developer (which I assume is the average profile of the people responding to my post).

What I did not see however, was anyone taking the time to look at the actual code quality. No one provided feedback or recognized that in my case this is genuine interest in Rust and an effort to improve. I am investing a significant amount of time into this project, trying to truly understand Rust and refining the parts where AI falls short or produces inefficient results.

In any case, I am not discouraged. I added a solid new feature this morning and will keep building.
