Good design is actually a lot harder to notice than poor design, in part because good designs fit our needs so well that the design is invisible.

I have no regrets about introducing Rust to Braiins. Our remarkable boost in productivity and code quality was largely due to the expertise of our Rust wizard, Lukas. Nobody believed it would be possible to build a cgminer from scratch to support bitcoin mining hardware. We did it!
