Writing code is now cheap. Software Engineering remains the actual skill. Know the difference. Make decisions accordingly.

Starting 2 weeks ago, I started receiving non-trivial amounts of cold emails and DMs by (non-spam) recruiters again. Anecdotal but is the #tech job market conditions starting to improve a bit?
I'm teaching #golang and #ai in a few months. Biggest challenge will be keeping the content up to date by the time the conference comes around 😅
That's a great post @deadprogram.com. Using curl and seeing the JSON-RPC payloads makes things quite clear without having to read the entire MCP spec first.
Nice! Checking it out...

If you're a Senior+ Software Engineer today, you're among the last of your kind.
Think about that for a minute.
Startup CTO tries to get to some coding but is held up by all kinds of compliance and security requirements.
The struggle is real.

There's going to be a point where we, as hiring managers, have to make a deliberate choice to hire Junior-level people onto our teams with the goal of leveling them up.
How else will we develop the next generation of software engineering leaders in the age of #ai?

#RoadToGopherCon #golang
Had such a great time teaching #golang at #GopherConSG
With so much hype around replacing human software engineers with #ai, I doubt the companies looking to sell that dream will ever reveal the costly failures that sometimes come with being an early adopter. It's not in their best interest to say the tech is not there yet.

Same here with regard to traveling to give talks/teach to jumpstart or revitalize meetups. Contributing to the community remains a passion for me so don’t hesitate to reach out.
Reached that time of year where I've started decluttering for the new year, including unsubscribing to newsletters I thought I'd have time to read and deleting bookmarks of blogs I never go to.
That looks ai-generated, Bill. I don't believe you.
That's it! The Go Time podcast comes to an end after a 340-episode run.
This was one of the most rewarding endeavors I ever took part in and is a bright spot in both my professional career and my involvement with in #golang community. I will miss it and I know our avid listeners and fans will too.
Special thanks to everyone who made Go Time so special! @matryer.bsky.social @jboursiquot.com @nataliepis.bsky.social @carlisia.com @goinggo.net @rakyll.org @ashley.dev @markbates.bsky.social @carmatrocity.bsky.social @fallthroughfm.bsky.social
It's an interesting time to be a programming language instructor. I suspect those who sign up for workshops or online training are the ones seeking mastery instead of being happy with #llm generated code. Are you incorporating use of coding assistants in your trainings nowadays? I feel I need to.
