Safety notes

  • unsafe blocks opt out of Rust's safety guarantees. Audit dependencies that rely heavily on unsafe.

Common mistakes

  • Slow compiles — split into workspaces and use sccache for incremental savings.
  • Fighting the borrow checker instead of rethinking the data model costs more time than just reshaping ownership.
