<p>I wanted to migrate a content drip system. My intuition said "web app," and instead of Django (comfort zone), I'd learn Axum, a Rust web framework. Two sessions with Claude Code and I had something real: 1,069 lines of Rust.</p> <p>If only I had asked first: <em>Does this need to be a web app?</em></p>

<p>A few years ago, setting up a Python project meant wiring together six or seven tools before writing a single line of code. Today that list has shrunk dramatically. The tools are faster, more ergonomic, and far simpler to configure.</p>

<p>Your live data source just broke. The API provider changed their auth overnight — no warning, no migration path. Now your entire app is blocked.</p>

<p>Most Rust learning resources teach concepts one at a time. I learn faster by building something and getting stuck.</p>

<p>Learning Rust didn't make me a Rust developer (yet). But it has changed how I think about Python code I'd been writing for years.</p>
