Before You Write

A few details from his site help you choose the right channel and set expectations:

  • Who he is: Denys Séguret is a programmer, designer, and trainer, also known as dystroy and Canop. He is currently focused on the Rust ecosystem and has experience across many other languages and tools.
  • Location and time zone: He is French and lives in Lyon, so replies are likely on Central European time.
  • What he points to as proof of his work: For anyone interested in his professional abilities, he says his open-source work is probably the best and most easily verifiable evidence of experience, with his CV offering additional insight.

Choosing the Right Channel

  • Professional or private inquiry → email [email protected]. This is the only private channel listed.
  • Quick, informal chat → Miaou, which the site explicitly invites visitors to use.
  • A question about a specific open-source project → GitHub, so the discussion stays with the code and is visible to other users.
  • A general technical question → Stack Overflow, where answers can help others too.
  • Staying updated or casual public interaction → Mastodon or BlueSky.

Practical Notes

  • The site does not publish a contact form, phone number, or office address; email and the listed platforms are the available routes.
  • No response-time commitment is stated anywhere on the page, so avoid assuming a fast reply, especially for email.
  • If you are contacting him about his work, referencing a specific repository or project gives him concrete context, consistent with his own emphasis on open-source work as the clearest record of his experience.
  • The site also links to some recipes in French, a personal rather than professional item, so it is not a contact channel.
