Anyone else getting their inbox absolutely hammered by a second wave of #zendesk support abuse emails? I got this the other day. Loads of activation requests from different companies. I ignored them. Today they seem to have filed tickets someone with maybe 60 different companies.

I’m tremendously excited about the synctest package. There’s usually a tension between making async code idiomatic or testable. Synctest makes the idiomatic code testable. #golang go.dev/blog/synctest

I feel like I need two forms of contact for most folks now. My mortgage advisor just had their email / dropbox hacked. They sent me (and other customers) a dodgy who knows what payload disguised as a PDF. Lucky I had him on WhatsApp and could ping him directly about it. He replied "delete it now!"

I am doing silly things with #golang iterators again. So thought I would share in the hope it is helpful, or maybe someone will show me a better way. This time I have a collection type, which exposes its own abstraction for iterating over its contents. Instead, I want it to use the iter package. 🧵

Today in Glu world we added support for built-in history. History is tracked on a per pipeline and phase basis and available in the UI on main. We also added API support for rollbacks (UI is under development): github.com/get-glu/glu/... Tomorrow I will have a video! #buildinpublic #golang

George MacRorie @georgemac.bsky.social · 03/12/2024

Big change going into Glu today with only minor face value. A lot of the core types are moving around. The biggest being the move from phases and sources, to phases and edges. The concept of promotion in Glu is a now a concern for edges. #buildinpublic #golang github.com/get-glu/glu/...

I spent today building per pipeline+phase history feature into github.com/get-glu/glu. It allows for tracking meaningful history per app + per env described in a config repo. For reasons (I just love it), I am starting with bbolt as a backend (shoutout @benbjohnson.bsky.social). #golang #gitops

Been prototyping a tool with @notmarkphelps.bsky.social recently around orchestrating software delivery across multiple environments. We chose to model our solution as a framework in #golang with an optional embedded #typescript / #react UI, as we wanted to ditch our yaml/bash GitHub action woes.

Quick #golang tip. Need to adapt one or more instances of a type V into an iterator sequence (iter.Seq[V])? This quick function comes in handy: ``` func toIter[V any](v ...V) iter.Seq[V] { return func(yield func(V) bool) { for _, vv := range v { if !yield(vv) { break } } } } ```
