for so many products, the first step after deciding to try it is some survey on "what is your role, where did you hear about us" this is insane to me how is this so prevalent

there is no universe in which i'd want to have a rejection call from a recruiter, no matter the good intentions behind it.

when i look back on anything ive built no matter how successful, maybe 5% of what sucked were intentional tradeoffs the other 95% was just me sucking/not knowing things/making bad decisions and i'd do it differently next time

Big news! I'm available for hire! If you have JavaScript/TypeScript you want written, and you have budget for an ambitious and highly skilled practitioner with over 20 years of experience doing that, including leading teams, communities, and execs, hit me up. izs.me (RT please)

embracing some go-isms—especially go’s default values—has made using protocol buffers with typescript a lot easier. i also feel it makes a lot more sense by eliminating certain classes of errors. (anyways, it's probably a good idea since go has first-class support for protocol buffers.)

ai will only widen the gap between good and mediocre engineers, because the key to effective prompting lies in how well you can break down a problem statement into smaller, manageable chunks.
