yesterday Grafana Pages were released as public preview, building data visualizations has never been funnier than this lol this is live data coming from @atproto.com!

looks like I'll spend one week in Toronto in May, and for a very good reason that I can't disclose yet

A great example of how the Google #golang team put thousands of lines of ultra-technical code in service of an incredibly easy-to-use and useful tool. If you ever deprecate code, you really should know about the go:inline directive!

I asked ChatGPT whether using less Internet would be good, even though that includes it. Its answer is actually sharp: > A harsher point: if a tool is so available that you reach for it automatically, it starts shaping you. That includes me. (let's also appreciate the irony of what I just did)

if an app is completely crap -> it wasn't made by an AI if an app *looks* good but doesn't work properly -> chances are that it was made by an AI if an app looks good and works -> I don't care who/what made it, I'm happy

Finally! No more "dirty" #golang builds because you have untracked files laying around which don't affect the build at all :)

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.

OpenAI is prompting me now, fun

if anyone's looking for a Go backend engineer with a pretty wide experience in different fields, well, here's my updated resume: anto.pt/cv I'm starting to actively look for my next role this week

I'm rebuilding `kilo` in Go following @viewsourcecode.org tutorial: viewsourcecode.org/snaptoken/ki.... Amazing content 🙌 I cheated though, I skipped all the "raw terminal" setup and used golang.org/x/term which already implemented those.

ordered one because why not

The second edition of Designing Data-Intensive Applications, by myself and @chris.blue, is finished and sent off to the printers! Ebooks should be available in the next week, and print books in 3–4 weeks. Sigh of relief. 😅 (BTW, this is a good opportunity to support your favourite local bookshop!)

We've been hard at work on a new website with new guides, better docs, more translations, even our very own blog. We think it looks pretty sharp, too. It's now easier than ever to just build things with AT Protocol. atproto.com

Very few people know that the Go standard library has an internal DSL used to make sure that no new intra-stdlib dependencies are added when a change happens: github.com/golang/go/bl...

10% of my time spent understanding the statusphere #atproto example app 30% editing it to be a "polls" app 60% fighting kysely, typescript, node.js versions and weird errors

Hot off the internets — there's a brand new kid on the DASL block: Web Tiles! It's still early days, some key features are missing, and there are some rough edges, but you can publish tiles to AT and play with the idea! webtil.es
