In this blog article, I want to talk about a design pattern implementation in Rust 🦀: The Builder Pattern. But before we start, let us take the time to understand what design patterns are and why we should use them in our projects. Design patterns are like pre-made blueprints that we can customize to solve recurring design problems in our code. Why do I emphasize the word "customize"? Because we can't just look up a design pattern and simply copy it into our code unlike off-the-shelf libraries and frameworks we are used to working with. Think about design patterns as a more general concept for solving your code problem. You can follow the details of a pattern and implement the solution that fits the requirements of your code. It happens often that developers, especially beginners, confuse design patterns with algorithms. An algorithm defines a set of actions that solves the problem, while a design pattern describes the solution on a higher level. The code of two developers implementin
