iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Similar to the recommendations around generated code, you probably need to check in the compiled libraries :(

As an example look at how bazel compiles go. Instead of using `go build` for a full project it compiles each package separately into `.a` files and calls the internal go linker directly. This allows for much better cache hit rates than if the native tooling was used.

But at the end of the day a build system that has the most complete information about the build will perform better.

GitHub - bazelbuild/reclient

I think ninja and cmake fill that gap. You can add a caching layer like ccache, or (shameless self plug) github.com/bazelbuild/r....

cgo command - cmd/cgo - Go Packages

If you are linking against the c code using cgo then you usually can have the go compiler compile the code with gcc, in that way it should work with go get I think pkg.go.dev/cmd/cgo

pkg.go.dev

We implicitly trust code written by us more than others and it's hard to separate real criticism of third party code from ego based criticism

Comparing the engineering effort of reimplementing correctly is hard to compare against the burden of reviewing third party code is hard

The "not built here" bias is real and hard to correct for IMO. I am running into it right now at work and just wanted to expand on a few of the reasons I think it is such a hard bias to correct for. I don't have solutions, only observations. Any suggestions are welcome. #swe #softwaredev #coding

I hit this the most when trying to add a `type` field to a struct

100

The only way I have ever got that to work was to use a fully fledged build system like ninja or Bazel

Right my question is why can't: seeker(func(data P) bool { return yield(data) }) Just be: seeker(yield)

100

Why can't yield be passed directly to the `seeker(...)` calls instead of wrapping in another function?

This is a reminder that the only difference between security software and a virus is that you install it on purpose 😂

Today's coding frustration: The AI code review comment gas lit me into thinking I missed copying one of my struct fields. Turns out the field did not exist and it just made it up. #coding #ai
