📕 New read: @kuangrf's Babel, or The Necessity of Violence. There's a lot I loved about this book. It left me pondering the nobility of sacrifice, the fragility of hope, and the courage that they both demand. kevinplattret.com/reads/babe…

📘 I had mixed feelings about @doctorow's Red Team Blues. It was quite entertaining overall but it didn't give me the cannot-put-down-until-finished kind of vibe I expected. Still, I'm curious to read the next one in the series. kevinplattret.com/reads/red-…

📖 The Fragile Threads of Power, by @veschwab. What a promising start to this new trilogy! So much of what I loved from the Shades of Magic universe is still here, but also a lot of novelty and very strong characters building. ✨ kevinplattret.com/reads/the-…

📚 New book: The Coaching Habit, by @mbs_works. Packed with very practical advice on how to refrain from giving advice. A quick and impactful read for the leader in you. kevinplattret.com/reads/the-…

📖 I read @sarah_edo's book, Engineering Management for the Rest of Us, and I loved it! I'd recommend it to anyone considering this career move. kevinplattret.com/reads/engi…

Haha. Oh, this rings too true in some parts: The Nerd Handbook kvn.im/3Cu29MK It gave me a good laugh anyway. cc @VincentTouati

"Zero To Production In Rust" is complete 🦀
It is a start-to-finish guide for building APIs using @rustlang.
A mix of pragmatic advice and foundational concepts.
@zero2prod is the book I wished I had when I started.
Two years in the making - it feels surreal to be *done*.

What a great event that was – thanks for all the fun @TrueLayer and team! ❤
⌛️ 24 hours to build something from nothing. An incredible prize. The stakes were high at the fifth annual TrueLayer #hackathon.
Goal: To change the way the world pays.🧑💻

Hey folks @PopMeetings! I've been using Pop for a year and a half now and I just *love* the product. ❤ I'm wondering if you're planning to add support for ARM (think Raspberry Pi) by any chance?

Come work with me! 🙌
My team at @TrueLayer is on a mission to make #OpenBanking payments instant in the EU. 🚀 We're only starting, we use #Rust primarily and this is an opportunity to have a huge impact. 🦀 Don't hesitate to get in touch!

Today I learnt that the Italian language doesn't have its own words for "software", "password" and "save" for instance, which feels weird for the French in me.

I've been using the 1Password app on Ubuntu over the past few days and it's beautiful. Same familiar interface as their other apps, but full of little differences that make it particularly nice. Thanks a lot for the love you give to the Linux community @1Password. ❤️

The reviews are in. The Key is flawless. #GreatArtistsCopy #TheKey
"Open Banking payments [..] typically convert 40% better than cards, have much lower rejection rates, low fraud, higher value limits and they cost less."

Time to take a look under the hood!
I don't often get a chance to explain how sausages are made here at @TrueLayer.
This article touches on the challenges we faced with out new payment product, the choice of using @rustlang for most of the stack, our plans for the future.
How we built PayDirect 🏗️ – lead engineer @algo_luca talks about the technology powering our new payment solution, building with #rustlang and the complexities of developing payouts 👉bit.ly/2ZggqJT #payments #engineering #openbanking

We are doing some very exciting things @TrueLayer. We just launched PayDirect, our answer to card payments, and we have much much more in store. 🚀
Get in touch if you want to use @rustlang to build the future of payments!
My team at @TrueLayer is hiring (again) @rustlang engineers!
We are looking for a tech lead and five backend engineers (London and Milan) to work on our payments product😁

Rust experience is NOT a requirement.
At @TrueLayer we believe that software is made by humans and for humans, but also that it is imperfect. In our continual quest for reliability, we engineers focus on four layers:
- Security
- Observability
- Correctness
- Performance
