> Why are you interested in Rust? It’s not like we’re going to use that here!

Reminds me of a bill hicks bit:

> I was in Nashville, Tennessee last year. After the show I went to a Waffle House. I'm not proud of it, I was hungry. And I'm alone, I'm eating and I'm reading a book, right? Waitress walks over to me: 'Hey, whatcha readin' for?' Isn't that the weirdest fuckin' question you've ever heard? Not what am I reading. but what am I reading FOR? Well, goddamnit, ya stumped me! Why do I read? Well... hmmm..I dunno...I guess I read for a lot of reasons and the main one is so I don't end up being a fuckin' waffle waitress



“Because I can’t help it!”

I’ve found that my pursuit of knowledge and intellectual stimulation is very involuntary.

I secretly want to work at the gas station, and in the kindergarten. I never had a job like this. The few non-programmer jobs I had, I automated.
