Improving Your Rust Life
summary
Suggests using the beta channel (six-week lead, ~35 point releases so far) to get fixes early without nightly churn; shows Cargo shortcuts (cargo run --example, single-letter build/test), enable release stripping and target-cpu=native, and share a target folder to cut duplicate builds. Recommends Clippy and cargo lints (duplicate-deps, non-std lazy statics, unnecessary Option<&T>, same-name-method, excessive-bools), snapshot testing with cargo insta, mutation testing with cargo-mutants/cargo-mutagen, cargo sweep for old artifacts, and small wins like must_use, expect annotations and box_leak.
