Eh, i use that to my strength and become the expert at work. Although, the topic has to interest me and I've worked with my boss and to tell him "this ain't it for me" and find me a project better suited for me.

I'm a linux admin with very little development experience (amateur at bash scripting, did some python in school, understand the concepts of object-oriented programming, but that's pretty much it) doing rustlings in my spare time. I want to be able to contribute to open source projects and be able to understand more of the discussion in the FOSS space, but it's pretty hard to see the big picture tbh and I don't know if I'm wasting my time.

I have zero programming experience and zero computer know how at all. I am, however, out of a job and in desperate need for cash for the simple basics. So I dunno how long this is going to take but not being able to see the big picture and not knowing if I'm wasting my time.... oh my christ do I relate to that. Even the request had me staring at it like "Oh god." I did warn them that there was no guarantee it would ever materialize due to my own failings and if it did it would be a hot damn minute.

I have so many saved tabs right now about rust and apis and docker and sql stuff. For someone whose total computer knowledge is "Settings where the things go" and "don't delete system32" this is... terrifying.

Don't feel bad if jobs don't drop out of the sky just because you learned a little rust. Rust jobs do not abound, even for experienced devs. That said, its an interesting and challenging language and doing some work in it can show you're motivated and willing to work through some shit to get things done. Google-fu is a primary skill for everyone in the field.
