If you like sci-fi and you haven't read the bobiverse you're missing out. It's a masterpiece.

Big shout out to endeavour-os. I haven't used arch for almost 10 years, and the experience of installing, maintaining and using it has improved so much thanks to them that I was blown away. It's really the year of Linux on the desktop. endeavouros.com

I've been saying this since 2024. I'm waiting for a major, catastrophic vulnerability to shake the world due to this.

I have had problems with my MacBook more or less non-stop since I got it. I've had so many people tell me that it was just a matter of habit. Seeing @jakearchibald.com , struggle with the same issues made me feel less dumb and lonely. Thank you.

Most AI images fall in the uncanny valley for me. And there's more and more in the streets and public spaces by the day. This is a new kind of nightmare I didn't see coming.

A bit over two years after starting to work on it... Go is officially FIPS 140-3 certified 💥 csrc.nist.gov/projects/cry... I am pretty confident Go is now one of the most—if not the most—seamless and complete FIPS 140-3 compliance solutions... with a single env var, out of the box.

It's cringe to ask "what would Trump be doing differently if he were a Kremlin asset?" And yet we must.

Periodic reminder that modern computers are fast enough to do substantially anything without having to make the human wait, in any language. If your CLI is slow you don't need to change language (e.g. py->rs), but you should rethink how you design your code.

I'm officially looking around, if anybody needs a Go software engineer with a very strong background in web security lmk. I also know a fair share of frontend dev and was a SWE/SE for Google and Microsoft. I'm looking for security-sensitive dev projects and security reviews.

Will LLMs become a fundamental tool in our box? Sure. Will they replace us? No. Linters may become very powerful Reviews may become more precise Autocomplete may be more useful Testing may become more thorough and widespread But only if we collectively take our heads out of our a###s soon

After about 12y of Vim and 1.5y of vscode I tried @zed.dev. I have to say, the speed is impressive, there still are some minimal graphic quirks, but I don't care about those. It feels amazing to use it, but I can't switch to it yet 🧵

I am using a MacBook lately. It was a gift, so I took the chance to finally try it. I have to say: it's the best hardware AND the worst software I've ever had on a laptop. The operating system is barely usable and shaves the bar for "functional" VERY closely. But the machine is a beast. 🤔

The AI harness engineering hype is basically just people finding out that with leaner design, good encapsulation, simpler code, improved tools, working CI/CD and precise documentation one can be more effective at writing correct code.

devdocs.io is an amazing os-agnostic app that allows you to download and browse docs offline and blazingly fast. Since it's a PWA it takes a second to install, and works exactly the same everywhere. I strongly advise to give it a look.

Fast, offline, and free documentation browser for developers. Search 100+ docs in one web app including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, Ruby, Python, Go, C, C++, and many more.

Holy smokes @zed.dev is Dizzyingly fast. I have no doubt that with some minor improvements that they're already working on it's going to eat up a big chunk of the other editors' user base.

Week one of sourdough, results are staggeringly similar to those of the bread maker I own. I accidentally started this experiment as a game for my daughter but it's already surpassed my expectations.

I've started to hear about engineers using AI-written code as an excuse for broken products. Please let's not go towards a future where writing code by hand becomes a liability. Please.

I just published kotama, an experimental GOOS=tamago compiler branch that allows execution of a rich example in barely 6MB of RAM, running on an rv64imfc CPU (yes, no d or a extension). This paves the way for supporting aifoundry.org Minion cores! github.com/usbarmory/ko...

The value of the code isn't just the code itself, but it's also the mental model the developers build while working on it. Taking that away with AI creates maintainers that can't maintain the code, one little change at a time.

Roberto Empijei Clapis @empijei.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

Constantly relying on "good enough for now" as a design principle eventually turns your codebase against you. The real danger isn't the mess itself: it's the fact that you’ll never see the breaking point coming until it's too late.

The first word that my eldest daughter read in her life is "Go", from one of my @golab.io t-shirts 😂. I guess having a language with a simple name has its nice quirks.

It is dismaying to see how often people are willing to sacrifice the very principle a rule was created to protect, just to ensure the rule they understood is enforced.

I think I found an excellent use for vibe coding. If you're writing complex code with many branches, nuances or that processes untrusted inputs, you should really invest time fuzzing it. The problem with fuzzing is that it yields the best results when you can write strong assertions on the results

I reckon we will soon see a growing demand for software engineers that can (and do) work without LLM assistance.
