The irony of Anna's Archive being taken down after the courts okay'd AI companies using the files indexed by Anna's Archive to train their models is wild.

The top level directory in our repo's have a ton of .json, .yaml, or .*ANOTHER_APPLICATION* config files in them. This hurts my OCD tendencies every time I see it as most apps don't let you define a custom directory. I guess thats just something I have to live with, like astigmatism.

An issue I've run into a few times with the #go `net/url` package is that `url.Values{}` is a map so `Values.Encode()` sorts the params before encoding. Some api's expect a specific order and and sorting breaks those API calls. The fix is to manually encode the values but I wish I didn't have to.

I’m not anti-ai, but I am a realist. I hope AI gets to a point where software can be seen as a commodity and to some extent it is. For small projects used by an individual it’s great! The flip side is that it falls apart at scale, like most technology.

Its been a solid month for music, we got some dope drops from Clipse, JID, and Gibbs. A lot of things made it into rotation in the last 30 days.

I actually hate the #reddit error page. Telling the users they did something wrong when there is a 5xx error is a pretty poor user experience. Don't blame the user for your mistakes...

One thing I'm struggling with using AI agents is managing virtual environments. I use them for most of projects but agents don't cooperate well with venvs. I tried defining `flox activate` or `mise use` in the prompt, but that has been finicky at best. Anyone have things that work for them?

This is succinct and well written. As backend engineers we are now designing APIs for humans, software, and agents. Different concerns for different clients.

One interesting thing with the GCP outage yesterday is that some of our builds failed because it could not pull down packages from pkg.go.dev. So even though we don't use GCP infra we were still sort of impacted.

#unpopularopinion: Liquid glass has a lot of potential. There are some pretty big issues with it in its current iteration, but it feels fun. #Apple's UI updates have historically been bad on the first iteration. We just have to wait for iOS/MacOS/iPadOS 27 for this it to be as dope as I hope.

I want to say that human generated content and journalism is especially important now with all the AI generated content out there. Unfortunately the attack on science, fact based research, and retaliation for opinion pieces makes any sort of publication challenging.

There are a lot of folks scared the dev jobs are going away because of LLMs and AI code editors like @windsurfai.bsky.social. I think what most of these folks fail to acknowledge is that actually typing code is less than 30% of the job. There is way more to building software than writing code.

a good part of me thinks that in addition to everything else, the reason they are scrubbing these stories is they do not want disadvantaged kids to believe they can aspire to anything other than their designated “black” or “hispanic” or “woman” job

Youtube really has radicalization built into its algorithm huh? I watched 1 video about politics and now half the recommended videos are political extremists or political commentary. What makes it worse is that Youtube also puts recommended videos in search so I am just bombarded with politics now.

I've been experimenting with @flox.dev for a project and its really nice! I've wanted to get into #nixos for a while and Flox simplifies Nix significantly. Next will be using it to replace homebrew for everything except casks. I'll probably also look to use it for a project at work. I'm sold!

One of the biggest lesson I learned very early in my career was from @kozolchyk.com. Always lead with the answer to the question and if more context is needed let them ask for it instead of offering it. Sometimes I don't care if something is late, I just need to know that it is.

One thing I miss in #golang is proper enums. I love getting compile errors for non-exhaustive pattern matches. Switch statements aren't the same as pattern matching, but we often use it the same way when writing go. A switch over an enum with errors for missing cases would be dope!

I've been seeing a lot of articles pop up about diminishing returns with LLMs. There was a @computerphile.bsky.social video about this earlier this year that resonated with me. Here is the paper they discussed if you want to dive into it yourself: arxiv.org/abs/2404.04125
