Just had the most baffling experience with technology in some time. Restarted my Wifi network this morning and my son's Hatch sound machine started buffering??? It plays exclusively white noise - why does it need to buffer!?!?!?
Typically "line noise" is referred to as excessive symbols or special characters, however I think if err != nil in Go fits the bill. It's significant enough to push people away from the language. Is there a better way?
Really convenient LSP feature when learning Go. If you attempt to get the length of an array with ".len" and press tab it automatically expands to len(array)!
One-shotting migrating my blog from www.getzola.org to gohugo.io across 3 models. Three attempts - Claude Code (Sonnet) - Open Code (Qwen 3 Coder 480B via Cerebras) - Gemini CLI (2.5 pro) As expected Qwen+Cerebras smoked the others in about 1/3rd the time 🤯
Misconception: Kubernetes is the right paradigm for all workloads Plenty of workloads belong on bare metal. Kubernetes is a round hole, and it is amazing at operationalizing your round pegs. Sometimes a square peg belongs on bare metal.
TIL Android has a native Linux container and Terminal app! Perfect for Vibe Coding from wherever or scratching that programming itch. It even supports local ports for web dev!
How many photos of my son can I work into my slides for my talk on Friday? 🤔
I have much more important things to do but I'm fighting the urge to rewrite my Neovim config pluginless...
Seeing my dad (who when my son was born was very awkward around him and babies in general) go straight to pick up my three month old is quite literally an indescribable feeling.
If you thought Claude was getting smart, here's your daily reminder we still have time.
Is Claude Code wigging out for anyone else?!?! It's hanging on a rm command for 2+ min

The #Royals have scored more runs this inning than they’ve scored in 50 other full games this year.

Does _anyone_ understand the new Cursor pricing??? I feel like I'm in an arcade: - Claude 3.5 1x credit - Claude 3.7 2x credit - Gemini experimental (zero credits??) - MAX Mode - $$$$
Anyone have go-to tips for coding with one hand or my voice? Trying to get stuff done while holding a sleeping baby 😅

Claude Max plan being bundled with Claude Code is amazing I know people are bearish on Claude lately but I really love that Claude Code (and Aider) are terminal based. Neovim + Claude sidecar is just *chefs kiss*
