Zack @zackery.dev · 17/09/2025Just had the most baffling experience with technology in some time. Restarted my Wifi network this morning and my son's Hatch sound machine started buffering??? It plays exclusively white noise - why does it need to buffer!?!?!? 000
Zack @zackery.dev · 15/09/2025Typically "line noise" is referred to as excessive symbols or special characters, however I think if err != nil in Go fits the bill. It's significant enough to push people away from the language. Is there a better way? 010
Zack @zackery.dev · 15/09/2025Really convenient LSP feature when learning Go. If you attempt to get the length of an array with ".len" and press tab it automatically expands to len(array)! 010
Zack @zackery.dev · 23/08/2025One-shotting migrating my blog from www.getzola.org to gohugo.io across 3 models. Three attempts - Claude Code (Sonnet) - Open Code (Qwen 3 Coder 480B via Cerebras) - Gemini CLI (2.5 pro) As expected Qwen+Cerebras smoked the others in about 1/3rd the time 🤯 010
Zack @zackery.dev · 23/08/2025What is the cabal that is pushing TOML on me!?!? YAML was just fine! 000
Zack @zackery.dev · 20/08/2025Misconception: Kubernetes is the right paradigm for all workloads Plenty of workloads belong on bare metal. Kubernetes is a round hole, and it is amazing at operationalizing your round pegs. Sometimes a square peg belongs on bare metal. 010
Zack @zackery.dev · 19/08/2025Yes, on Android 16, I'd assume it will come to Samsung eventually but maybe not because they have Dex? 110
Zack @zackery.dev · 19/08/2025It's the native built in Terminal app! Developer Settings -> Linux Container and it shows up! 110
Zack @zackery.dev · 18/08/2025TIL Android has a native Linux container and Terminal app! Perfect for Vibe Coding from wherever or scratching that programming itch. It even supports local ports for web dev! 121
Zack @zackery.dev · 13/08/2025Earlier in the season if you would have told me this offense would be scoring 7+ runs a game consistently I would have thought we'd be sweeping teams left and right. Gotta sweep at least one series this homestand 000
Zack @zackery.dev · 11/08/2025Surely this yields dummy submissions and calls into question the validity! 000
Zack @zackery.dev · 10/08/2025Probably because they require to to submit _something_ to view the data you really want to see 070
Zack @zackery.dev · 10/08/2025I've always been highly suspect of glassdoor in general I feel like it inherently attracts detractors and does little to discourage that type of "engagement" It's a poor signal imo 160
Zack @zackery.dev · 10/08/2025My optimistic take is that humanity will adapt Plato thought in 370 BE writing and reading would kill the exchange of knowledge 010
Zack @zackery.dev · 10/08/2025How many photos of my son can I work into my slides for my talk on Friday? 🤔 010
Zack @zackery.dev · 09/08/2025I have much more important things to do but I'm fighting the urge to rewrite my Neovim config pluginless... 020
Zack @zackery.dev · 08/08/2025"while my wife was laboring" in the - in the 6 hours at the hospital before pushing sense - not the ignoring her sense 😂 1130
Zack @zackery.dev · 08/08/2025I literally could not put this book down - I was reading it while my wife was laboring for our first born. Draw dropping. 2130
Zack @zackery.dev · 07/08/2025And you could have Denny tell more stories like his Koufax story at the Hall of Fame! 010
Zack @zackery.dev · 07/08/2025Jake how are you and Steve so good at not talking over each other? Do you use hand signals?? I need a behind the cast video of some sort. I'm fascinated by the quality of the broadcast so I wanna know how it works! Maybe a Royals Radio podcast?? 120
Zack @zackery.dev · 26/07/2025Seeing my dad (who when my son was born was very awkward around him and babies in general) go straight to pick up my three month old is quite literally an indescribable feeling. 010
Zack @zackery.dev · 20/07/2025If you thought Claude was getting smart, here's your daily reminder we still have time. 030
Zack @zackery.dev · 15/07/2025Is Claude Code wigging out for anyone else?!?! It's hanging on a rm command for 2+ min 000
Zack @zackery.dev · 03/07/2025Everyone seems to be writing about it - must be on the mind of a lot of engineers. 000
Zack @zackery.dev · 03/07/2025I wrote up some thoughts on "Artificial Intelligence" zackery.dev/posts/on-ai/zackery.devOn Artificial IntelligenceThe rise of AI and the death throes of coding 100
Zack @zackery.dev · 03/07/2025I can't really explain it but there's a fine line between moonlighting your side gig and being salaried at multiple places it seems. 110
Zack @zackery.dev · 03/07/2025There's a whole sub culture (for lack of a better word) dedicated to this on Reddit: /r/overemployed They have a FAQ on what to do to handle multiple jobs, once you have read it it becomes easier to spot the red flags. 100
Zack @zackery.dev · 20/06/2025We've had a renewed investment on CI/CD infrastructure The amount of diffs being raised and commits to validate is even greater with Agentic AI. We're preparing to hit scale and cost challenges equivalent to a doubling of our dev team by the end of the year. 000
Zack @zackery.dev · 18/06/2025AWS is the most frustrating at this!! It feels like each document or help article is ostensibly written by a different person, with 0 regard to other existing docs! It's Conway's Law at work 100
Zack @zackery.dev · 18/06/2025I believe this ties George Brett for multi-homer games by a Royal! Go Salvy!! 100
Zack @zackery.dev · 18/06/2025Seth Lugo is dealing! He does NOT want to waste this run support! #royals 000
Zack @zackery.dev · 16/06/2025Or the devs were presented with 4 different gamifications from the product owners and they decided they decided to decouple the implementation from the one they decided to go with 😂 010
Zack @zackery.dev · 14/06/2025I've recently added BlueSky comments to my blog, this is my most recent article outlining what I think developers can learn from Street Fighter's "Mental Stack" zackery.dev/posts/softwa...zackery.devMind the Mental StackUnderstanding the mental stack in software engineering and how it affects productivity and decision making. 110
Zack @zackery.dev · 14/06/2025Claude Opus after I use it's unbridled power to move a crontab back 30 minutes for 6$ 000
