    I was 0/6 on various trials of AI for Rust over the past 6 months, then I caught a success. Turns out, I was asking it to use a difficult library - I can’t make the thing I want work in that library either (library docs say it’s possible, but…) when I posed a more open ended request without specifying the library to use, it succeeded - after a fashion. It will give you code with cargo build errors, I copy-paste the error back to it like “address: <pasted error message>” and a bit more than half of the time it is able to respond with a working fix.
