Welcome | Konstantin's Blog
This is my blog and personal newsletter. I write about building and using software, as well as thoughts and comments about the web and the state of things in general. Most of my work uses (but is not limited to) Elixir and Rust.
🐌 Slow Software for a Burning World 🔥
In a world of “move fast and break things,” we’ve chosen a different tempo — one rooted in care, deep listening, and collective stewardship. Slow software means building for long-term resilience and meaningful participation, rather than chasing novelty, speed, or scale.
Why scientists are turning to Rust
Despite having a steep learning curve, the programming language offers speed and safety.
Scott Jenson – Exploring the world beyond mobile
Fast AI requires slow thinking The current Silicon Valley flex is trading notes on your favorite new AI tools over lunch. Each week brings another one to explore. Some of these tools are very impressive; I’ve been able to reply to someone with an alternative UI design in less than a minute, and they were […]
Why developers at Amazon, Facebook, and Discord love the Rust programming language
Rust has been called the "most loved" programming language on Stack Overflow's annual survey. Here's why it's one of the fastest growing languages.

A delightful language with friendly error messages, great performance, small assets, and no runtime exceptions.
The Ma of a New Machine – Scott Jenson
The current Silicon Valley flex is trading notes on your favorite new AI tools over lunch. Each week brings another one to explore. Some of these tools are very impressive; I’ve been able to reply to someone with an alternative UI design in less than a minute, and they were dumbfounded: “How did you do that so fast?”
Rust and the Future of Systems Programming – Mozilla Hacks - the Web developer blog
If you’re a regular reader of Hacks, you probably know about Rust, the ground-breaking, community-driven systems programming language sponsored by Mozilla. I covered Rust on Hacks back in July, to ...

Identifying Barriers to Adoption for Rust through Online Discourse (PLATEAU 2018) - SPLASH 2018
For PLATEAU 2019, see the workshop webpage at http://plateau-workshop.org/. Programming languages exist to enable programmers to develop software effectively. But programmer efficiency depends on the usability of the languages and tools with which they develop software. The aim of this workshop is to discuss methods, metrics and techniques for evaluating the usability of languages and language tools. The supposed benefits of such languages and tools cover a large space, including making programs easier to read, write, and maintain; allowing programmers to write more flexible and powerful ...
The Software We Haven’t Invented Yet, discussion and dinner hosted by Boxd and BlueYard · Luma
If this is such a big moment for software, why are we mostly imagining faster versions of what we already do? Better coding tools are the obvious part. The…
My new job
I am happy to announce that I have joined a new startup called VectorWare. The linked website is currently very bare-boned, but the company aims to use Rust to improve the state of GPU programming.
