New Rust Programmer looking for starter tasks

[leebeck3]

Hi all!

I recently applied to an Oxide Computer position and am currently waiting out my 4-6 weeks. I was wondering if there's anything I can do in the meantime to help learn the codebase/improve my skills. I figure even if I don't get the job it'll be helpful to grow myself with an actual real world project, not just working out of a programming book. Something simple would be best, just so I can learn the codebase/make mistakes/practice the basics.

Thanks for your time!

I'm in much the same boat, except I haven't actually pulled the trigger on the application because I just don't have enough good samples yet. :/

FWIW, Hubris is probably not the place to start unless you're already pretty familiar with embedded systems. Ask me how I know. 🙃
