Greg Brockman

Co-founder and president of OpenAI. His 2026-01-02 post “rust is a perfect language for agents, given that if it compiles it’s ~correct” https://x.com/gdb/status/2007228511363444905 is the line the rust-for-agents conversation keeps returning to, and the tilde in his own wording is the part most quotes drop. Same period, same account: his six-point agentic-era advice included maintaining an AGENTS.md updated whenever the agent struggles, which is harness-engineering’s feed-forward side stated as a habit https://x.com/gdb/status/2019566641491963946.

lets-get-rusty builds its 2026-10-23 video on the quote and verifies it against the post itself. The claim inside the quote (compiled Rust is mostly correct) holds in a narrow sense. The compiler checks what it checks and nothing else. That is how 2026-10-23-youtube-lets-get-rusty-rust-perfect-language files it, with the Bun regressions as counterweight.
