I like the way that golang supports the use of tools in the go.mod file. Something like: go get -tool github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/cmd/golangci-lint@v1.64.4 And then you can list tools : go list -f

I've been coding 100% in Emacs for the past 20+ years, and I don't imagine I'll be changing any time soon. For "AI"? I sometimes paste some code into chatgpt.com and ask for assistance, but I don't have an spe

It is usual for a new project to start small, and slowly add new features. Instead this project seems to arrive "fully formed". There is no "this is the core, then we add S3, then we add RDS, then we add ..." history to

Looking at the features this seems to be an awesome project, but the commit history (even on the develop branch) shows almost nothing. No pull-requests, no real issues, it smells like it was auto-generated which is disappointing. Makes it

I've used Linux at home for 20+ years, and sometimes mac at work. To be honest I struggle to notice many changes, my machine was already configured the way I liked it and at work I basically live in only four applications: Firefox for

To be honest I find the things I do on my "work" laptop are different to the things I do on my "personal" laptop, and different again to what I do on my desktop machine. Regardless of which machine I'm using at any

Same story here, I can be used films on DVD for €1 at many charity shops. Boxed sets of TV shows are €2-5 depending on size/popularity. The only downside is that I've noticed that the used DVD sections are definitely getting sm

When you waste time trying to deal with "AI" generated pull-requests, in your free time, you might change your mind. I share code because I think it might be useful to others. Until very recently I welcomed contributions, but my

When I had a sick baby I could work from home quite happily, but after he grew to be a toddler or older I don't even try. If my kid is sick I stay home and look after him, sure half the time they'll be sleeping/reading, but t

I live ~30 minutes from the city center, and the office locations I've had for the past ten years or so. I enjoy sitting on the tram/bus, reading a book and getting into the "work time now" mindset. Having half an hour

I guess it depends where you live, I certainly claim commuting costs when I submit my taxes every year. But then again I balance that by claiming some rebates for using my home office, now and again.

Interestingly I bought a book on Z80 assembly last year, I thought I was buying a used book printed in the 80s or so. Instead it was shiny, glossy, and obviously printed on demand. Terrible quality, and really did make me stop using Amazon

A program making a call to github.com needs an authentication token. What are you suggesting? The program makes a call to retrieve the secret from AWS? Then has full access to do with it what they want? That's exactly the risk and t

I bailed out of the interview process last summer when the company told me they use Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket for their source code. Sure maybe nobody got fired for choosing them, but it certainly killed my enthusiasm for the potentia

I've heard enough about Canonical's absurd requirement to write essays that I just ignore their adverts nowadays. Which is a shame, as a former Debian developer I feel I could work on interesting things with them.

I had a similar epiphany a few years back when I started wearing a step-tracker/sleep monitor. It was kinda interesting to see how many times I woke up, or track hours, but to be honest I realised after a few months that when my tracke

It's interesting how things differed so much across different countries. In the UK there was good split between Atari and Amiga, and before that the Spectrum and the C64. Lots of rivalries and interesting characters though, for sure.

No when people attend courses, paying money for the privilege no less, and get told "Now open a pull request" they don't care about your project - they care about getting their instructor to say they've done a good job.
