Even though I have got LLMs at my disposal, I have been having such a fun time writing coding by hand for a personal project I have been cooking. ⌨️

Rust's type system is quite good. Having gone through rustlings over the past weeks, I can't help but express that I am very impressed. #rust #rustlang

Logical replication is so cool. And this is a great article going a bit deeper into the details.

Kubernetes the hard way completed. Having done that, I have become more understanding about how long it takes for GCP or AWS to provision a Kubernetes cluster. #k8s #kubernetes

“Dear friend, you have built a Kubernetes” - this is a great write up of the slippery slope many people go down because they think k8s is too complex. Not saying it can work everywhere but this is a common story. (h/t to @timothysc.bsky.social for finding it) www.macchaffee.com/blog/2024/yo...

It took me a while to finally add this, but 0x45.st finally has a web based form for submissions rather than being solely API based. Turns out API's are nice some of the time, but sometimes you just want to copy paste into a form. #WhoKnew #SideProject #SoftwareEngineer #Golang #PasteBin #SelfHosted

In the absence of newly-released good sci-fis, I go back to watch gems such as "War of the Worlds (2005)" 🎬🍿 www.imdb.com/title/tt0407... #scifi #movies

How do you check if an executable binary compiled from Golang code is static or dynamically linked? Do you know the side effects of using the os/user, and net packages? "Statically compiling Go programs" --- Authored by @arp242.bsky.social #golang www.arp242.net/static-go.ht...

Well, this article surprised me a bit. (Golang) -- build-your-own.org's articles are worth reading. build-your-own.org/blog/2024112... #golang

Why Golang slices still surprise me | Blog | build-your-own.org

Are Golang slices dynamic arrays or fat pointers?

I authored this one a while ago. Validating emails is hard and for this reason I defer - no pun intended - to Go’s (golang) standard library instead. As always, there are exceptions but Go’s std lib is good enough. firmino.work/blog/email-v... #golang

Email validation in Golang

One shall not write from scratch an email syntax validator because it’s an activity that most likely has nothing to do with the domain of the system one is working on. Moreover, often if/elses and reg...

TIL: go.mod can automatically upgrade the version of Go and the toolchain by running a command: go mod edit go@latest go mod edit toolchain@latest #golang

As one transitions to Go (Golang) it's quite common to feel clueless about well-maintained libs that help speeding up the development of a given project. I quite like the list put together by the author in the article referenced on this post. threedots.tech/post/list-of... #golang
