After only seven years in the industry, a promotion doesn’t make much sense to me right now. I want to write good code and build great products. But in the corporate world, visible work is more important than good work. So, there are two op

Wow, the Zig lib is as close to raw io_uring as it gets. It directly accepts an fd, a submission, and a result queue.

True for blogs as well. The saddest thing is, a few influential web folks hqve switched gears to AI evangelism and started spamming people with low-quality AI-generated slop. Kinda broke the whole circle of trust. Now, if I get the slightes

I wonder how the stdlibs of existing languages will take advantage of io_uring and async syscalls. Does this mean we won’t have to spin up a subprocess for the most trivial things?

Yeah. I saw that. I've found so many good stuff on minifeed. Thank you :D

Do a write up on explaining the architecture and maintenance cost. This looks sleek. It'll fly on hackernews.

This looks fantastic. Damn, there's even a detail page with related blog entries. Surprised to see my blog[1] there :) [1]: https://minifeed.net/blogs/kF8K4M

Love seeing a CDC tool that doesn't aim to replicate the universe and fails to do any of it correctly.

Yeah, I wish there was a way to buy domains; not just rent them. It’s not like they’re limited in supply. For example, you kind of own your email addresses.

Started my blog[1] around five years ago and never looked back. Before that, I got burned by Medium and decided: never again. Maintaining your own little corner on the internet is easier than ever, though I agree it still requires some tech

Love the idea, but I’m not sure how well it will scale. I’ve seen similar lists before and even went out of my way to include my blog there, only to never find that page again. That said, I’m loving this renewed interest in building our own

I have a separate section in my blog that’s outside of the RSS feed to house links. I’ve adopted an even simpler approach: - Each year gets a new page to list links, activities I’ve done, books I’ve read, and talks I’ve grokked [^1] - The p

No. The basis is OO and but they are multi-paradigm. Go has structs, methods, and type embedding but they don’t make it an OO language.

Easier than C#. Python was the easiest, followed by Node.

Could be, but the wave is against OO languages, and unfortunately, juniors often show unwarranted disregard for the paradigm. We’ve had good interviewees who flat-out told us they weren’t interested in working with any Microsoft stack—inclu

Neat. For me it’s Python FastAPI and then Go.

Go’s k8s package is the OG. Everything else spawned off of it, so it’s packed with legacy artifacts. But yeah, I wouldn’t use it as an example of a good Go package.

Go’s HTTP library is production-ready. Python’s isn’t. Python has a ton of dead batteries in the standard library—stuff like urllib is plain dangerous to use these days. But Go doesn’t have collections.abc, itertools, heapq, deque, and many

It’s sorta inevitable. I started with Python and used to hate the constraints types put on my design. But as I started working on larger projects, I got tired of Node-Python-Ruby and wanted something faster with stricter types but without t

OTOH, Java almost made me quit and choose a different career. I’ll work with anything but Java. I’ve worked with Python, JS, Ruby, and Go, and I’ve been fortunate enough to avoid working with OO languages. To each their own.

Multiple times; both in the US and Western Europe. Hiring Juniors for C# was harder than finding Python and Ruby people.

It might also explain why Haskell has such a tiny user base compared to mainstream languages. Python folks love pointing out that the main reason it dominates everywhere is its massive library ecosystem—you can pretty much do anything with

Yeah, Go’s niche is networking. But it could be so much more. The language is nice and fast, and there’s no reason it can’t be a solid choice outside the microservice and tooling universe.

The problem is finding fresh blood who want to write C#. RoR or Django is a much safer choice in that regard. This OO/DI stuff has fallen out of fashion (whether that’s good or bad, I don’t know) and very few enjoy working with these c

Exactly. I don’t want to waste time on trivial decisions like which frontend tool to use or what templating engine to pick. This is exactly why Go isn’t great for building full-stack apps. Every app in Go looks different because you have to
