    Project mention: Running Rust Binaries on Shared Hosting: A Practical Approach to Type Safety on a Budget | dev.to | 2025-10-17

    I was tired of PHP's type system. Even with PHPStan and Psalm, there's no substitute for real compile-time guarantees. But I'm also practical - I don't want to pay for a VPS, maintain a server, manage security updates, configure databases, set up backups, and babysit infrastructure when shared hosting costs < $10/month and handles all of that for me.
