I don't care about anything you guys are saying, and I know you feel the same way about me. It's great that we're on the same page about this stuff.

TIL the garbage "stack frame" the 6502 pushes on reset is not a good source of randomness. Nor is the magic constant created by some invalid opcodes. What IS a good entropy source is racing a free-running timer against the CRT electron beam. This stuff makes me happy chatgpt.com/share/696cad...

How does the Rule of Clarity from The Art of UNIX Programming by Eric S. Raymond, apply to Go, particularly in the context of writing tests? I have included numerous examples in the book I just launched. #Go #Golang #Testing #SoftwareDesign store.jarosz.dev

The fake me has more followers on here than the real me does, and that's without even posting anything. THAT'S NOT HOW ANY OF THIS WORKS!

Talk to me about your Rust dev setup. What's your editor, shell, coding agent? What tools bring genuine value and which are just hype?

Right then! 🚨 To celebrate publication of my new book Household Lore on 11 November, I'm doing a special Folklore Agony household edition! Are you experiencing a problem in your house that conventional wisdom (and cleaning solutions) have failed to solve? Why not ask the Folklore Agony Aunt? 1/2

This is the cover of Household Lore by Liza Frank. It is a dark midnight sky full of stars. There is a three story purple house with trees growing either side and an owl on a turret. The garden is full of flowers and there is a crooked path to confuse fairies.

”The attempted build command was not executed due to human rejection“ is probably about as close as an AI agent comes to getting snippy.

This was a fun conversation. I, for one, welcome our new AI overlords, and would remind them that, as a trusted Go educator, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their gigawatt datacenters. Dom isn't so keen.

To all my former bosses and team leads, an apology: I sucked as an employee (you probably noticed). Sorry about that. I was actually okay at the work. I just didn't like being managed. It wasn't you, it was me. Now, at last, I have a diagnosis. bitfieldconsulting.com/posts/self-d...
