Will makes some good points in his article.

I've seen lots of tech coverage and commentary that conflates social VR or gaming experiences and apps with the metaverse. Whilst a promising start and an indicator for what's to come, these are not yet the metaverse. Just like the internet in the 1990s, the metaverse can feel hard to picture at first. So the best way to talk about social VR and gaming thru a metaverse lens is as starting points on a decade-long journey to the metaverse.

While I was speaking at an event last week, someone asked me to give an example of a journalist who is using social media effectively.

Here is the long version of my answer: alexvoica.com/journalist-cre…

🧵👇 There are many amazing reporters (@ameliargh, @stokel, @TaylorLorenz, @RVT9 or @linzasaur, to name a few) who *use* social media to promote their reporting, interact directly with their audience, source material for their articles, and chat about their beat in general.

A quick history of Rust (@rustlang) at Facebook, 🧵👇

Facebook initially adopted Rust in 2017 for a project to develop a new source control service. That project had stringent performance and correctness requirements so the team decided that Rust was a better fit than C++. [1/5] Rust adoption has been expanding steadily since then, with hundreds of engineers using it for dozens of projects such as Diem, Hack, or Mononoke.

We've been using it to write developer tools, which make a good environment for experimenting with a new language. [2/5]
