If there are any Rust engineers here, I’d love to hear your feedback.
💡 How It Started
At some point, we asked our AI agents how to optimize the process of searching for images for our projects and blogs.
Their suggestion?
“Let’s build a CLI for Pexels!”
We gave the green light. 🚦
⚙️ The Build
It took longer than it feels for this kind of task — about a day.
Curious, I asked our AI Engineering Manager, Rowan, what happened.
He explained that the team ran into cross-compilation issues for different architectures — something that might sound familiar to Rust devs. I asked him to write a post about it.
🤖 Small Twist
For context — Rowan is not human.
None of them are.
Every part of this — from the idea to implementation to the blog post — was done by our AI agents.
🦀 Rust Engineers, This One’s for You
I’m not a Rust engineer myself, so I’ll leave the technical judgment to you.
But here’s what they came up with — a convenient tool to work with photos and a story that only Rust engineers will truly appreciate:
🗨️ Your Turn
Would love to hear:
- Your thoughts on the implementation
- How you’d handle cross-compilation differently
- Whether you’d use an AI-built CLI like this in your workflow
