Comment on Ask HN: How to get out of making CRUD apps?

Comments

I learned Rust (same background as you). This opened up a whole new set of companies.

Companies who are looking for Rust engineers usually do more heavy duty backend work or Blockchain. You can even try to pivot to embedded!

I doubled my salary and work finally with a great language!

That's inspiring. Did you have to put up a portfolio of personal projects before switching to that?

Other comments in this thread mention that dilemma as well. I'm in the same position trying to get Golang jobs, coming as a junior dev then running an IT service business.
