I am still trying to iron out all the creases in my new social media auto-poster. It ran last night, and successfully posted to all the social medias! But for some bizare reason that I can't figure out, it ran 4 times, which of course means that it auto-posted the same linke 4 times to all thje social medias. This was the same thing that happened the day before in testing, but I had put it down to the scheduler being over-loaded. I have o..

Designing Robust, Scalable, Maintainable Event Architectures Event-driven architecture (EDA) gives teams the ability to build decoupled, scalable systems that evolve independently. In the previous article, we introduced the idea using a restaurant analogy: instead of shouting instructions across the kitchen, teams place “dockets” on the rail and stations take what they need. We’ll continue that analogy lightly in this post—sprinkling it he....

What is good web design? What are good aesthetics? There's a notion that extreme simplicity is best(black text on white background), or extreme geocities-style clutter. What people in these circles agree on is that modern, corporate web design is like kicking dead whales down the beach. There has to be more to it though than old-fashioned = good, modern = bad. Consider the two screenshots attached to this post. Neither is more "modern" ..

I started learning Go this year. First, I picked a Perl project I wanted to rewrite, got a good book and ignored AI tools since I thought they would do nothing but interfere with learning . Eventually though, I decided to experiment a bit and ended up finding a few ways to use AI assistants effectively even when learning something new. Searching more efficiently The first use case that worked for me was search. Instead of searching....

The search engine recently exposed a fair number of new tools for custom filtering to the API consumers and users of the new UI. This was originally going to be an incredibly chaotic update, both annuncing the new features and doing a technical walkthrough of the changes but that ambition turned out a bit too chaotic, so let’s split them up and focus on the feature announcement bit today. New Search Filtering GUI It’s now possible to ..

Kong is my go-to CLI parser in go, so I used it for epithet . It has pretty good built-in configuration handling, I appreciate how it lines up config values with CLI flags by basically treating config as a serialized tree of it's structs. This is great for simple things, but for epithet I needed slightly more complex mapping, with dynamic keys (user identities) and such. I wanted to keep the core of its model though as it's really nice. ....

Well yesterday's inaugural run of the auto-poster didn’t go exactly to plan. In fact it didn’t run at all. I didn’t really expect that it would have worked first time, though I was sort of hopeing that it would. Oh well. I spent much of the morning trying to figure out why the scheduled trigger in the Github Action wasn’t launching any jobs. I updated it from running once daily to once every 5 minutes, and it still wasn’t running. No er....

Table of Contents Materialized Views Embracing Data Duplication Streams for machines, tables for humans Historically, data management systems have been built around the notion of pull queries : users query data which, for instance, is stored in tables in an RDBMS, Parquet files in a data lake, or a full-text index in Elasticsearch. When a user issues a query, the engine will produce the result set at that point in time by chu..

I don’t like the term “vibe coding.” I strongly prefer “AI-assisted software engineering.” But regardless of what you call it, Gene Kim and Steve Yegge have written a book about it - and their journey from skeptics to true believers is the most interesting part.

I swear it’s not an impressionist painting, just a blurry photo I took yesterday during my forest walk. The deer were watching me from the edge of the woods, not far away. The moment lasted a long time, until I ruined it by pulling out my phone. At that point, they took flight. If you’re reading from the RSS feed or the newsletter, click here to see the actual image.

Pretty sure this isn't a duplicate post, apologies if it is and I missed it. How do you feel about AI? Not in a "it's a fun tool" kind of way. Line how do you feel about it and your future as a programmer. I agree it makes slop code, but I think it makes code good enough to fool managers and marketing type people into using it instead of devs. I'd guess there will be a huge replacement of human devs with AI in the next 5 years, afte..

Usually when you are writing software it’s good idea to start small and build up. When things are complex, there are just too many things that can go wrong, and they inevitably do. But sometimes even when you do diligently do that, you get into trouble because the platform you were building on is inconsistent or missing a key feature, or behaves in a non-intuitive way. You thought you knew how it worked but it turns out that the way you t....

For most of humankind, and for tens of thousands of years, the idea that humanity includes every individual on the face of the earth has not existed. This designation stops at the border of a tribe or linguistic group, sometimes even at the edge of a village. — Paraphrased from Claude Lévi-Strauss, Race and History , 1952 ( full quote and context ) I guess my beloved Star Trek future —post-scarcity, post-conflict, beyond divisions—..
