iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

No bad news is very good news on Golang cryptography :) #gophersunite

020

To wrap up lightning talks, we have an update on TinyGo #GophersUnite

000

Next up in lightning talks: making typeaheads fast with Redis #GophersUnite

000

Next up at Gophercon lightning talks: building a Git client in Go. #GophersUnite

000

Next up: principles of using AI for software dev. For one, don't hand off code for review that you haven't reviewed yourself. For another, exec expectations don't match current reality on what AI can('t) do. #GophersUnite

000

Next up: using assertions to make sure that if a program is wrong it doesn't compile. #GophersUnite

000

It's lightning talk time at Gophercon! First talk is about using SSA and control flow graphs for finding e.g. session leaks in the Cloud Spanner SDK #GophersUnite

000

Expressing API changes as "replace this function with its inlined body" lets Go tooling make codebase upgrades for you. #GophersUnite

000

By default, common LLMs don't use current code features, and even higher-power ones are a coin flip. Go analysis tools, and the associated MCP server, helps push back against this so emitted code gets modernized on the way out of the model. #GophersUnite

000

Yo dawg I heard you like ATProto so I'm posting about an ATProto talk from a service that speaks ATProto #GophersUnite

If you need every last drop of performance, you can remove the guard rails Go has. But you probably really really shouldn't because your time is more valuable than the hardware you save on making a great protobuf parser. #GophersUnite

000

Pin to commit hashes rather than tag versions, and use tooling to capture when your libs do more things than you expect them to. #GophersUnite

000

The code you ship is the code you need to double-check for vulns/malicious code. The source code corresponding to those artifacts may not be current/accurate. #GophersUnite

000

"many eyes find malicious code" in OSS isn't necessarily true, as malicious actors can find ways to circumvent those eyes (and folks may assume someone else is doing the many-eyes work) #GophersUnite

000

Turns out, a lot of the things that make writing software better for humans also make it better for AIs. #GophersUnite

Just about, erm, Go time at Gophercon 2025 Day 1! yesterday was Day 0 of course as this isn't a SQL conference. #GophersUnite

000

Hello #Gophercon! Repping @fleetdm.bsky.social here while hopefully learning a thing or two. If you want to chat about building an open-core device management product, I (and a few more of us) are around :)

Waymo spotted well north of the Austin geofence. This is at Burnet and Greenlawn.

Heads-up @crankyflier.com, Southwest is showing WGA fares as Basic. This is for a flight that I haven't changed since I bought it as WGA.

Presenting on osquery in a couple hours at @devopsdaysaustin.bsky.social!

They're at 20% cost reduction now. They get to 30% by swapping off of AWS-specific services. #DODeploy

000

YoY cost figures. Spot when they moved from AWS to Digital Ocean. #DODeploy

000

Quick migration to Digital Ocean for 30% cost savings #DODeploy

000

AWS to Digital Ocean move case study: NoBid #DOdeploy

000

Digital Ocean DBaaS getting autoscalling. You'll also be able to buy droplets with just compute and get storage separately, and they'll add different tiers to both object and block storage. #DODeploy

000

#DODeploy roadmap slide, including ETAs. Not just "Soon (tm)"

000

Digital Ocean using GenAI heavily when doing dev. 2k check-ins per day. #DODeploy

Just about time to live-post the Digital Ocean Deploy keynote (and other stuff at today's conference).

000

Flying Frontier today, with the new Recaro seats. Probably 33" pitch (@crankyflier.com you were right), tray table can more or less hold my 14" MBP, and yep that's the elastic blocked middle seat marker while Frontier gets their ducks in a row for real Domestic F.

It's time for Paul Dejean to talk about how he dropped the #AWS bill for the company he works for. Disclosure: the great wall of text is intentional as apparently DevOpsDays Tokyo's audience likes great walls of text, and he'll present this there next, after tonight's edition at #austindevops

000

And now we have Ramiro Berrelleza talking about developer happiness at #civonavigate

...and now time for a chat about the waves the Broadcom VMWare acquisition has made #civonavigate

And now we have Cortez Frazier Jr. talking SBOMs at #civonavigate

000

Now we have Eran Kampf walking through how TwinGate went from multiple significant outages in a short period to 99.98% uptime at #civonavigate

020

Opening keynote for day two of Civo Navigate

000

Rounding out the #civonavigate sessions for the day is Peter Zaitsev talking about the state of #opensource

OWASP Goats are well-written but deliberately insecure apps to show how to do it wrong so it's easier to understand how to do it right. - Dwayne McDaniel @ #civonavigate

Time to get OWASPy with Dwayne McDaniel at #civonavigate

Time to talk about Civo's latest launches and roadmap at #civonavigate
