A learning curve measures time on the x axis and progress on the y axis.

A flat learning curve means you never learn anything :-\

"Flattening the derivative of Rust's learning curve" really doesn't roll off the tongue though

Yeah that's true. But it would be on brand for a post that emphasizes the importance of accuracy and attention to detail.

A steep line still has a flat derivative
