Ownership MoveEasy
fn main() {

    let s2 = s1;
    println!("{s1}");
}

Your code doesn’t compile. Can you walk me through why s1 is invalid here?

Because ownership moved to s2.

U

Correct. What’s the benefit of enforcing this rule?

Lifetimes in HashMapMedium
use std::collections::HashMap;

fn get<'a>(m: &'a mut HashMap<String, String>, k: &str) -> &'a str {
    m.insert(k.to_string(), "hi".to_string());
    m.get(k).unwrap()
}

The function won’t compile. What rule is the borrow checker enforcing here?

The mutable borrow from insert overlaps with the reference from get. Rust blocks that reference.

U

Exactly! How would you restructure this to make it work? What are your options?

Concurrency with ArcHard
use std::sync::Arc;
use std::thread;

fn main() {
    let data = Arc::new(vec![1,2,3]);
    for _ in 0..3 {
        let d = Arc::clone(&data);
        thread::spawn(move || println!("{:?}", d));
    }
}

Live Interview

Why must we use Arc here instead of Rc?

Because the data is shared across threads, only Arc is thread-safe.

U

Exactly. Which trait bounds make Arc safe in this case?

Real Interview Timing
Shareable Certificates

Generic platforms teach puzzles — Rust interviews require reasoning.

Algorithm drills fall short

Other platforms don’t prepare you to explain ownership, lifetimes, or ARC

No reasoning-based practice

Most prep only grades code — real interviews demand how and why answers

Weak Rust coverage

Borrow checker errors, async vs threads, Rc vs Arc — critical gaps left unaddressed

Zero credibility with employers

You practice but leave with nothing to prove your Rust expertise

RustSkill tests how you think in Rust — explain your reasoning, defend your choices and code with live AI feedback.
