What’s everyone’s go-to for buying DRM-free books in epub format? #booksky
I know it feels the world is going up in flames, and that you need a break instead of “lessons”. And you’re right.
But yet again this (short) book is what I‘d hope everyone in my country would read before voting.
“On Tyranny” by @timothysnyder.bsky.social #booksky
Simplify observability with Fleet Management — a Grafana Cloud feature designed to help you manage collectors at scale.
It's also designed to work alongside your favorite #IaC tool, including #Terraform.
Discover the benefits of pairing the two, and learn some best practices to get started.

Happened to be reading “Never split the difference” alongside “How to talk so kids will listen” and some of the advice is eerily similar.
I hope bath time doesn’t end soon end up sounding like hostage negotiations 😂
Stop what you’re doing and go get a nice bouquet of flowers for a loved one 💐
Ντουζοσκεψη: δηλαδή όπως στη μεσαιωνική Ευρώπη ειχαν τους μύθους του Αρθούρου ή του Ρολαντ για romance epic poetry, κάπως έτσι και το Βυζάντιο είχε το Διγενη Ακριτα; Πως και τα τρία συνέπεσαν κάπως χρονικά; 🤯
“Using go fix to modernize Go code” by Alan Donovan — https://go.dev/blog/gofix
#golang
Book seven: one of the engineers goes on parental leave and we learn about a rival stealth-mode startup. The team secures a funding round for a new data center.
Book five: the hero recounts an older workspace romance story which HR got his love interest fired.
Book six: company Christmas party goes great, but sales are behind on their yearly quota and come in aggressively. One of the engineers is approached by a rival startup and joins /r/overemployed
Book three: hero poaches the whiz kid from book one. Budgetary constraints sends the department into political cross-fire.
Book four: The squad uses jargon to convince the CFO to axe another team instead. They try to use an LLM but it’s full of hallucinations
Book one: cut to protagonist in the world’s worst offsite trying to get the CTO’s attention.
CTO pitches his technical vision for rewriting their columnar storage in Rust.
Book two: the hero assembles a team for his new project; gets assigned two promising junior engineers.
Ok hear me out; @stephenking.bsky.social’s Dark Tower is a metaphor for modern corporate jobs, more specifically software engineering. #booksky
SPOILER ALERT obv
Roland drawing from Leone’s man with no name, essentially making him after the image of a Rōnin.. and then having him wander on his own pilgrimage and severing link by link from his life
Ok so Lord Byron was there when the modern vampire was born.
His “Childe Harold's Pilgrimage” also draws eerie similarities to “Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came”…. which sparked the Dark Tower series, featuring, well, ‘Salem‘s Lot and Vampires abound.
Just Stephen King things man…
Great summary of why most GenAI predictions are off
> Building systems remains hard. Can I assume you’re familiar with Amdahl’s Law? That’s what’s going on: a massive speed up on a portion of the problem, but as that portion speeds up it becomes less and less of a contributor to the overall speedup

A first CL for `go doc -json` is out!
Very interesting idea to include the 'Create AI Review Prompt' button.
bah gawd, that’s Lojban’s music!!
💯 agree
This take by Chip Huyen is what sold it for me.
How writing evolved from pigskin to press and Google Docs to abstract away the act of putting down ink to arranging and sharing ideas widely, LLMs can do the same for code
[5/5]
We’re not quite there yet with LLMs, which explains the current resistance from experienced SWEs. But if history is any guide, we almost certainly will be.
What a fascinating time to be alive!
the bots fuckin found out about religion. call the Turing police. no not the regular Turing police

If you’re looking for a really talented Senior TypeScript engineer with an eye for detail and performance that can deliver anything from a game engine to financial app, DM me and I‘ll put you in contact.
- To see source files from a dependency, or to answer questions about a dependency, run `go mod download -json MODULE` and use the returned `Dir` path to read the files. - Use `go doc foo.Bar` or `go doc -all foo` to read documentation for packages, types, functions, etc. - Use `go run .` or `go run ./cmd/foo` instead of `go build` to run programs, to avoid leaving behind build artifacts.
Here are three lines from my AGENTS.md that make agents a lot better with Go.
Go has great CLI tools, but many people don't know about them, and so agents are not trained to reach for them.
Maybe the Go project should maintain a Go development skill?
> Use go doc to read documentation for packages, types, functions, etc
Coincidentally there's a proposal from 2019 to add a -json flag to 'go doc' that could make it even easier for agents to use.
I've been trying to pick it up and bring it over the finish line!
There’s sickos, and then there’s people who brush their teeth walking around in the house. Wtf
I’m scared of what would happen in the Balkans if we had the US gun laws and the state acted this way.
