kind of unreal how many screws loose you have to have to start a company instead of taking the $400k/yr from big tech.

copilot was so transformational when it first came out, but now, after their new UI update and after switching to more agentic models in VSCode (e.g. @roo_code) i'm ready to just turn off inline completions. they use a nerfed model without enough context so they are often wrong.

surprised there isn't more about this online, but in #golang goids are no longer allocated sequentially (monotonically increasing). the numbers appear to be allocated into pools per thread/processor. but by adding runtime.GOMAXPROCS(1) and runtime.LockOSThread() you see them

crazy that doing observability in production is easier than doing it in development. we have instant log search over billions of lines, but still scroll up in the terminal or Cmd-F to find things in development.

Early holiday present, seeing Wave Terminal featured in a great newsletter that I actually subscribe to! Thanks @consoledotdev ⚡️ #opensource #devtools #developerlife.

The worst is coming back 6-months later and seeing this, where someone has updated the constant but not the comment. 🤦‍♂️

I hate redundant comments. Devs should apply DRY to comments as well as code. #developer #devlife

As a startup founder, I know how rare and valuable honest feedback is — especially in a culture that often values being nice over being helpful. That’s why when other startups ask for feedback, I try to share candidly, even when it’s tough to hear. #startups.

people be like “tech jobs are going away because of AI”. honestly i’d be much more worried about non-tech jobs disappearing first.

Sometimes when I work with AI, I feel like I'm in Edge of Tomorrow. Once my Claude chat gets too long, I start a new one and have to bring it back up to speed. Prompt, Chat, Repeat. #ai #devtools #developerlife #claudeai

i have a standing desk, but haven't really used it 😅. a lot of the research about cardiovascular health and standing desks is likely biased (correlational). the people most likely to use them are people who are more active and care about their health 🏃‍♂️.

sometimes ✨AI is amazing, but sometimes it acts like a fresh CS student. what's with these redundant checks? `?? null`, really? 😂 .#ai #developerlife #programming

On a MacBook Pro M3. Really Apple? What could *possibly* take 30 minutes? I mean, besides training a new LLM, between the processor speed, memory bandwidth, and I/O speeds, I can't think of anything in an update file that could need 30 minutes to complete.

one of the great joys in life is having an idea and bringing it to life. some people do this with art or music. i do it with code💡.#softwareengineering #developerlife #creativity.
