LLMs are magic.

It will still probably be goth.

Some good discussion there, would love to respond - but the invitation only model prevents me from doing so :(

I'd go with Rust, since I use Go daily. It all depends on your goals though.

It's survey time! How has Go has been working out for you? - The Go Programming Language Help shape the future of Go

Hey all go devs. Last two days to fill the annual Go Developer Survey. This is one of the best ways to impact the future trajectory of the language. It takes around 10-20 minutes to complete. Let's get involved.

#golang

Yes, it's quite verbose.

Redis is fast - I'll cache in Postgres There are books & many articles online, like this one arguing for using Postgres for everything. I thought I’d take a look at one use case - using Postgres instead of Redis for caching. I work with AP...

Redis wins on speed but I'll still cache in PostgreSQL

#postgres #redis #golang #postgresql

This is a question I'm yet to find an answer to, please ping me if you do.

It depends on your architecture and what you are going for. I mostly cache specific objects in dedicated k/v stores such as redis. If a full response can be cached for a long time doing so on the reverse proxy might be an easy way to go, but I usually keep things cached app side.

Yes, mostly redis. Sometimes postgres.

Today I fell victim to a cache invalidation bug

It's not really an ORM though is it?

They do come in handy but I feel like they tend to be a bit overused. I personally rarely use them.

I have been liking it for a while now too!

State of my Homelab 2025 For many years now I’ve had at least one machine at home which would work as a server to host some apps. In the last couple of years I’ve been getting more into it which has led me to purchase additio...

I wrote up what my #homelab looks like.

If you're curious:

It's simple to read and understand.

care to share the blacklist?

My homelabs power consumption My homelab consists of 4 machines currently. When choosing them I tried to be energy conscious - using hardware which would not consume too much electrical power, while still trying to maintain the up...

My homelab consumes 36kWh of electricity a month.

You can never have too many Ethernet cables in a home.

I've been doing golang almost exclusively for quite a few years now, and the format still eludes me. I'm confident I'll never memorize it.

I've used both moq and mockery. I'm not too opposed to either, but if your interfaces are small then you don't really need them. Write an implementation for tests yourself. If you find your interfaces are too complex, perhaps a different design is an option?

Thank you for the valuable insights on this topic.

Are you paid by the code line?

Definitely looking forward to this as well. Expecting significant improvements across my test suites!

It depends on what you're after. If just starting out, use the std lib. It will get you pretty far.

I do. Sort of, anyway. Not by choice. Inherited it as part of an existing codebase.

Why not just pass the dependencies to a New(), what's the benefit here?
