This afternoon's reflection on AI and the dying internet.
I'm always looking for recommendations on people to interview for The Consensus. I publish one of these a month. Looking for developers anywhere in the world with an interesting background who contribute to key software infrastructure.
Biscuits: A very fast concurrent hashmap with transactions for Go. It's like sync.Map but can work on multiple keys atomically. 🚀 github.com/tidwall/bisc...

Spent the past couple days playing with Zig. I wrote myself a little rtree and btree. It's fast and comptime is really cool.
Moved my first repo. 15k stars on GitHub, 0k stars on Codeberg. 😅 codeberg.org/tidwall/gjson
gjson
Get JSON values quickly - JSON parser for Go
codeberg.org
I'm going to test out Codeberg today. Looks like a decent alternative.
Josh Baker@tidwall.bsky.social · 3mo agoWoke up to a flood of bot generated Github notifications. So much noise. what a waste. I'm going to begin disabling pull requests and issues for my repositories. And start the transition away from GH. Have an issue? Traditional email should suffice.

James O’Gorman@jamesog.net · 3mo agoI was relieved when GitHub added the ability to turn off pull requests recently. I don't mind sharing the random things I write but usually I don't want the burden of random contributions.
After many months of planning and development, here it is. Introducing btype. B-tree based collection types for Go. It's hand-crafted to be faster than the current B-trees for Go, Rust, and C++. github.com/tidwall/btype
GJSON v1.19 is out. First update in 2 years. Includes the All() and Values() iterator functions. For all you cool kids who like that modern Go stuff. github.com/tidwall/gjson
I've spent the past couple months hand crafting a new B-tree map implementation for Go. It's fast. Faster than Rust's BTreeMap. Faster than the fastest C++ (frozenca/btree). And about 2x faster than my current Go btree (tidwall/btree).
Go 1.26 brings the long-awaited vectorized operations (SIMD) in the simd/archsimd package. Since it's hard to create a portable high-level API, the Go team decided to start with a low-level, architecture-specific one and support only amd64 for now.
Tile38 v1.37 released. Various updates and fixes, plus added support for regex filtering on fields and geojson properties. github.com/tidwall/tile38
