A funny side effect of building software in Rust: my machine OOMs much more during development. I'm not entirely sure why. I think Rust makes it easy to allocate data quickly, and sooner or later you write an infinite loop when coding.

I'm never sure what to name my remotes in git. I tend to use 'mine' so I can add other forks later, but sometimes I use 'gh' or the traditional 'origin'. What do others use?

I've dabbled with 'conventional commits' for a personal project but I found they slowed me down. It's not always easy to categorise a commit as a fix, a chore etc. Sometimes refactorings also fix bugs. Do you use them? I can imagine a large, mature project benefitting more.
