Is there any chance Oxide is going to make more of these RFFs public? I think it would be a useful artifact to see why a company would choose to run a non-Linux OS. I also think there are other Oxide RFDs that would have a similar benefit e.g why Oxide decided to build dropshot instead of using one of the existing rust REST server crates?
Yes, for sure. We agree there's tons of value there, there's just so much to do it's easy to let things fall through the cracks. This thread has given some renewed energy to work on releasing some of them, so no promises but we'll see :)
I think your best way of learning to program as fast as possible is to start working on side projects. These projects will help you learn all sorts of technologies that will be applicable to a job. Another option is to work on open source projects.
