www.seangoedecke.com/large-establ... Very nice article! One of the first thing I ask whenever I onboard someone on to my team is to pay attention to consistency for their changes with existing code.

I am going to bite the bullet and start using Cursor.

Is anyone using kagi.com for your daily searches? Do you see enough value out of it?

I had been using Plausible Analytics for over 2 year now. But the functionality is very basic. Not being able to track events was a deal breaker for me. Now I have switched to umami.is It offers a lot more features. Extremely simple to setup! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

The book that @sarna.dev and I co-authored on writing engineering blog posts is now published. And it’s flanked by the best imaginable “bookends”: a foreword by @bcantrill.bsky.social and an afterword by @scott.hanselman.com! Details and Amazon/Manning links at bit.ly/3AVPWn9.

Truly a quote I need to repeat every single day! May be I should make a poster and hang it on a wall!

Sent my kid to the day care for 2 days and he is down with fever with for 2 days 🤦 I console myself saying it's immunity development programme.

Skaffold and GCP Cloud deploy don’t make any sense to me. May be because I don’t use them for kubernetes. Documentation is sparse. Dear GCP, Why is your CI/CD so hard?

I am running into strange problem in neovim 🤣. Whenever I type jj in insert mode, it brings me back to normal mode. The reason an old unused keybinding inoremap jj <Esc> who jj would become a real thing when I wrote this. It would have been nice to see how long ago I added this. Probably 6 years!

I am looking a project that I have worked on a couple of months ago. I don't even remember how to run it anymore. This is why you need to write a good README to your future self.

Working on a side project that I haven't touched in months. I just spent the last 40 mins or so updating dependencies. Fixing some minor issues. Side note: I have switched to using jj full time. I don't use any of my git tools now. It's not that hard to adapt.

It's going to be a fun afternoon with MQTT and Go.

Nice talk about reflection is C++. consteval + Token sequences seems to be similar to procedural macros in #rust www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqQ7...

www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAxo... glean.software Another interesting tool from Meta.

It's great to see Google taking million lines of code compiled per second as a goal to strive for. Even if it's ends up being off by an order of magnitude. It will yield incredibly fast systems to iterate. Great talk by @chandlerc.blog www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZI19...

Protobuf are just not suitable for my use. The generated code is too large. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtBF... I came across this talk by @jamesmunns.com a couple of months ago. Our hardware engineer, was suggesting a similar wire format. Postcard is great! But we need something that works for C 😭

tratt.net/laurie/blog/... I remember being super awed by Tree-sitter project when it was being developed for Atom editor. Since it generates C code, I wished that nvim can adopt it. Glad that I am living that reality.

Got my PM to cancel a bunch of unnecessary meetings! Hurray! 🎉 🕺🕺

I am currently researching schema evolution in the embedded devices context. This is a great post by @martin.kleppmann.com martin.kleppmann.com/2012/12/05/s... protobufs are good fit on paper but the generated code is too large for our use case.

Vite 6.0 is out ⚡️ vite.dev/blog/announc...

passo.uno The is super nice blog. Lots of advice for technical writing.

I wrote a retrospective on my Terraform experience at work blog.vramana.com/posts/terraf...

Till the start of next year, I don't want to pickup any new projects. I want to finish reading OSTEP book.

Do you want start writing a blog? My suggestion is keep it simple at first and don't let process of setting up a blog stop you from blogging. I have seen many people expend a lot of energy on a pretty looking blog. You can use platforms like dev.to, substack.com to get started.
