Key things to know about Rust and customisation

[rosiebra]

When working with Rust, the biggest gains usually come from treating it as a repeatable workflow rather than a one-off prompt or experiment.

One important area is customisation. Define what a good result looks like before changing tools or settings, then test one variable at a time so you can tell what actually improved the outcome.

Another area is automation. Keep examples of both strong and weak outputs, check important facts or generated code independently, and document settings that produce consistent results.

The main takeaway is that Rust becomes much more reliable when the workflow includes clear inputs, repeatable checks, and a way to learn from previous results.

A useful way to look at Key things to know about Rust and customisation is to focus first on rust and customisation. That tends to make the trade-offs easier to compare. It also gives you a cleaner baseline if you want to compare tools or settings later.

The point about rust and customisation is interesting. In practice I would keep the first test simple, record what worked, and only add extra complexity if it solves a specific limitation. That way you can improve the workflow without losing track of what caused the improvement.
