For some reason I can just code better and faster in the JVM than go, even if go concurrency is exactly how I think. I’ve thought a lot about this and I think it comes down to the libraries and their ease of use

It is pretty strange to me stuff like tanstack, supabase, and other “batteries” exist in the web ecosystem but a good golang framework for WASM workers to the frontend doesn’t

Vim doesn’t do this. I’m just saying

Xfinity Series starts now

All time great right here

Most of my promotions were based on my ability to attach my work to the metrics below. Working at a major cloud provider made this a lot easier because we tracked everything. It largely comes down to earning and sharing the credit across different teams including engineering, product, and sales.

I really wish the GitHub extension for VS Code was also available from GitHub for neovim. VS Code is the best GitHub IU for code review

usgraphics.com is one of the top fonts in my library, everywhere I can use it, I do

Rust is such a good language that I can’t use without a library, I wish there was a standard lib for HTTP and serialization without cargo

Maybe chrome crashing out of Google will finally encourage the browser market to add support for a scripting language other than JavaScript. Definitely won’t be as capable but with LadyBird coming along maybe we’re in for a renaissance of browser tech development

One of the best things I ever started doing was wrapping my laptops in vinyl, then applying gratuitous amounts of stickers from events/meetups/etc. When the machine retires or returned (work owned machines) I just peel off the wrap, stick it on paper, and frame it. It’s like a visual history of me

It’s really wild anything actually works. Once you have the smallest understanding of hardware you simultaneously optimize for every instruction and also feel like “well we’re already 7-8 levels away from micro-code, so what’s another nested for-loop?”

Dropping PRs at 10PM is a sign of quality. If the PR is opened during business hours it’s highly suspect the code was written during a meeting
