Fast systems aren’t built by accident. Wasting days making random changes is no way to approach performance tuning. I’m writing a book on performance in Rust equips you with the skills you need. justperf.dev/

OK, this is getting wild! 🔥 My black-box web testing hack now finds a minimal sequence of interactions that is rejected by an LTL formula. In the example screenshots: a badly validated form, a specification, and the minimal failing trace.
