You know the drill by now. It's time for another recap!

Sit back, get a warm beverage and look back at the highlights of Season 3 with us.

We've been at this for a while now (three seasons, one year, and 24 episodes to be exact). We had guests from a wide range of industries: from automotive to CAD software, and from developer tooling to systems programming.

Our focus this time around was on the technical details of Rust in production, especially integration of Rust into existing codebases and ecosystem deep dives. Thanks to everyone who participated in the survey last season, which helped us dial in our content. Let us know if we hit the mark or missed it!

For the future, we hope to present an even more diverse set of guests and topics. If you have any suggestions, please reach out!

We'll be back in April. In the meantime, check out our dedicated learn page for additional content about Rust adoption.
