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'd like to add that, in order to make those tests run on mac, we had utilities that purposefully inserted wait loops to *wait for the FS to do its job*. There were situations where os.WriteFile returned no error, but calling Sync and os.ReadFile immediately after would still yield no data 😡

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.

I was in a restaurant today that was tapered with AI KIDS.

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.

The conclusion is definitely not where I would have gone, but the problem statement is stuff that I've been saying for the past 9 years, even before async was added to stable Rust. Thanks for sharing 🔥

I was building extremely snappy and responsive CLIs in *python* 12 years ago on a dual core Acer netbook, I'm pretty sure that modern computers have no excuse for slow CLIs.

Roberto Empijei Clapis @empijei.bsky.social · 16/04/2026

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

It's very powerful in terms of computation, and has incredible battery life, but the os is substantially a fractal of bad design.

Good point. I guess I haven't thought that far... Sigh.

No, still on Vscode for 2 main reasons: 1) test/delve support 2) I can easily share configs with my colleagues and work with them without feeling lost every time I peer. That's the same reason I'm still on qwerty.

Roberto Empijei Clapis @empijei.bsky.social · 20/03/2026

I'll keep an eye on the project because, again, it's a very good IDE and addresses a lot of the issues I have with vim and vscode, but testing support is what really prevents me (and my company) from switching to it right now.

Roberto Empijei Clapis @empijei.bsky.social · 20/03/2026

3) No way to run tests on save 4) No way to display test coverage gutters 5) Running a specific test requires two clicks. This means that I write code at insane speed to then hit a wall when I touch the tests.

Roberto Empijei Clapis @empijei.bsky.social · 20/03/2026

The lack of testing support is what really is a dealbreaker for me, all the other minor inconveniences are stuff I can live with in order to get the speed. 1) No quick way to switch from a file to its test file. 2) No easy way to run a package or project tests

Roberto Empijei Clapis @empijei.bsky.social · 20/03/2026

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 🧵
