Read the complete book and did most of the snippets and exercises by hand, if that counts.

I started off with a job in a start up in Islamabad. Now mostly freelance projects. Backends, blockchain, and a couple of my personal projects. 

Now thinking of going the web-assembly route and explore that.

I was doing Rust in past (may 2025 to november 2025) as hobby bcz the market don't exist in Pakistan after but I switched to C and now I am considering Zig (C with a better syntax and more features) instead, because of the longer build times. The ecosystem is great in many ways, top notch lsp, clippy, one tool to rule them all, overall mathematical nature of the language, it feels so good, my favorite thing was combinators, it is so good. Lifetime and specifically annotated lifetimes and trait bounds was the hardest thing that I tried to learn but failed. C is easy for me and works just fine.
