I wrote a paper on multi-agent LLM coordination using stigmergy-inspired pressure fields. Ready to post to arXiv (cs.MA) but need an endorser since I'm an independent researcher. Paper here: github.com/Govcraft/lat.... DM me if you can help?

If it helps you out, toss it a ⭐.
If not, that’s cool too — Carrot will judge you silently from his nap box.
But if you are stuck building microservices — scaling, org structure, “the business said so” — having guardrails beats hand-rolled chaos.
That’s really all acton-service is: a “please don’t burn the building down” starter kit.
So yeah: if you don’t already have real reasons to run multiple services, skip it.
Monoliths are great. Modular monoliths are even better.
Not everything needs its own deployment, dashboard, and pager duty rotation.
Acton-Service exists because I got tired of rewriting the same production glue:
API versioning, HTTP+gRPC on one port, OTel, retries, circuit breakers, health checks, sane config.
Nothing wild — just the boring stuff you always end up needing.
Somewhere along the way, “microservices” became a default instead of “the thing you do after exhausting every simpler option.”
Most folks don’t need 10 services, a tracing pipeline, and a small Kubernetes hobby farm to ship a feature.
I wrote a microservices framework in Rust.
It’s called acton-service.
And honestly, you probably shouldn’t use it.
Not because it’s bad — it works — but because most teams don’t need microservices at all.
Nice!
Added to the hammock queue.
Ouch! 😂
Cool beans.
Awesome! 🚀

My #Rust crate "Magic Type ID" (MTI) is now v1.0! 🎉
Opaque UUIDs (f47ac...) make logs & APIs a guessing game. MTI gives you human-readable, type-safe IDs like user_01h45....
Globally unique, K-sortable, and way clearer for debugging. 🦀🚀

Actually teams find it takes far less time to get to market once everyone is past the learning curve. Code and PR reviews take less time, for example, because the compiler carries some of that weight.
Check it out on GitHub! Open-source, MIT-licensed, built in Rust. Bridges email to web apps—use Docker or binaries, no coding required. Grab it or toss a ⭐ if useful! 🦀💡 #opensource #coding

MailLaser forwards emails without storing them. Set target addresses and a webhook URL to automate. Runs via Docker, binaries, or source. Includes a /health endpoint for monitoring. Built for local testing, production workflows, or APIs! ⚙️ #webhooks #rust
Hey Bluesky peeps👋🏽 Just shipped MailLaser: a receive-only SMTP server that sends emails to a webhook as JSON. Sender, subject, text (HTML optional). Links email to web services, no Rust skills needed! 🦀🚀 #rustlang #automation

I think it would be more accurate to say: "Building your UI with JS-heavy logic rather than static HTML shifts some workload from the browser’s optimized C++ rendering engine to the JS engine, which _might_ introduce overhead depending on use case."
Sometimes, sure. But usually, I just take it as it comes and tell myself they’re not the same beast. If I’m messing with Go, it’s probably because I’m enjoying a slick package—worth the usability hit. The Charm.sh crew’s packages are a blast, even if I still lean on Rust for the same stuff.
I suppose it would be Go. It's fun to write, easy to learn, and I can be super productive with it.
I do love all those. Can’t wait to see what comes out of the investment in the compiler. 👍🏽
Back on Bluesky and finally got Acton Reactive to v1. Message-passing with agents, Tokio, no locking nonsense. Docs are finally updated too. If you’re into Rust concurrency without the headache, might be worth a peek. 🦀🚀 #rustlang #rust #opensource #coding

AI coding assistants struggle with Rust's fast-moving ecosystem, often suggesting outdated APIs. 😩 Built this MCP server so tools like (Cursor, Roo, Claude etc.) can query current crate docs directly before generating code. Give it a try & ⭐ if useful! 🦀🚀 #rust #ai #mcp

Hey Bluesky peeps 👋 Been offline here since the end of '24 dealing with a bumpy start to the year (life stuff!). Dipping my toes back in. Onwards!
CLIs or a simple web server are always a good start. Have fun!

Me too! I guess I haven’t come across the need for anything more than newtypes but I can see where refinement types would be cool to have.
Need separation? Not necessarily. Could approach it both ways with tradeoffs too numerous for a 🦋 post.
Small fixed set of units - Newtypes FTW
Large or extensible set of units - you’d wish for a generic approach with a unit type param the blog asks about.
