`init` feels like an unhelpful name in OO. It doesn't give you an initial value, it initialises the instance that has already been created. Developers are often surprised that init doesn't return the instance, because they have a strong association with `new Foo()`. Perhaps `finish` would have been a less confusing name?

When writing long-lived programs (daemons etc) in Rust, I find myself asking *where* I should put data. In a GC'd language it's just "I have a string" but Rust forces me to find somewhere to put it. You do get a performance benefit for this work though.

I'm experimenting with Atuin for searching my terminal history: https://atuin.sh/ Previously I'd just used fzf to find items, which does work nicely. Occasionally I *really* want to search "commands which were run in this directory" though, which Atuin offers.
