Found this tonight and it's a really solid read on the Go runtime. Definitely a long post but it's got a lot of useful info in it. Learned a lot about things that I haven't really dug into before from it. nghiant3223.github.io/2025/04/15/g...

Something I’ve noticed when reading to my kids that I had never noticed when reading to myself is when the author describes how the character says something after you’ve read it. “What was that?” she whispered. When reading to my kids out loud I don’t realise I have to whisper til it’s too late 🫣

Hire more junior engineers! I miss having technical discussions with them where they question you and make you really think about what you’re saying! I’ve learnt so much from them.

I know I keep saying it but one of my loves for Bluesky is threads like this that is full of technical juice on how everything works. So much fun to read about

Similar to this, if your engineers are also the end users and they come up with a feature they think would improve the product, just let them do it. Don’t just stick it on the backlog! Getting user feedback is important in building a good product so listen to the users that are building it too.

Confession. Until recently I thought vibe coding was when you sat down, plugged in your headphones to some chill music and just wrote code. No nonsense work political jira crap, just wrote code.

I would rather it were the other way around. I write the code (the fun bit) and AI reviews it (the boring bit) 🤷‍♂️

Sometimes http 404 trips me up. I know the entity I’m looking for is in the database, why are you returning a 404???? Oh….. ingress wasn’t configured properly and what you actually meant was the route on the server not found 😑
