The author complains there are few developers available to maintain Rust code.

I see very few job postings, and almost all of them are either cryptocurrencies (I don't want to waste my life on this), or "3 years professional Rust development in production" (disqualifies self-learners).

Given that nowadays most applications are not replied, it makes little sense to spend time even browsing the postings.

It doesn't necessarily. Very few jobs postings that require "N years of experience in language A" actually require that. Most will accept N years of total experience and some smaller amount of experience (not necessarily professional) in language A.

this is the ideal but does not appear to really be the practice -- regardless of whether you're applying direct or not.
