GR-OSS OUT Podcast Episode 24: Lori Lorusso, David Wood

The Rust Foundation's Lori Lorusso and ARM's David Wood pull back the curtain on what the Foundation actually does day to day — infrastructure, security engineering, and a maintainer funding initiative aimed at supporting contributors who don't work for a sponsoring company. They also dig into why a relatively simple-sounding compiler feature took 11 years and a years-long communication breakdown to finally land, plus two candid "gross moments" from the stage and the compiler team. This one's for developers, maintainers, and engineers who work with Rust (or are deciding whether to) and want to understand the people and politics behind the language, not just the syntax.
