Cliff L. Biffle
Cliff has had the privilege of using Rust in his day job since 2018. He’s the author of Learn Rust The Dangerous Way, an unsafe-first tutorial for C programmers. At his day job at Oxide Computer he’s the original author of the Hubris high-reliability embedded operating system, used throughout Oxide’s hardware. At night he builds microcontroller art projects using Rust and sells embedded widgets on Tindie/Lectronz. He is rarely on fire, and generally not for very long.
