While I agree with a big part of the article, I need to pick on this sentence: "They may have upgraded the average skill set of software teams in a way we have not seen before." We…

Hi OP, I don't know if it helps with your issues, but some years ago I wrote an article precisely about using protobuf between Dart and Go and it included a section on async: https…

He was referring to software engineers, not vibe coders.

Here in Portugal the legal requirement is 1€ for an LLC (lda) and it took me a few hundred euros in fees only, all in morning to take care of everything.

And I'd argue that an important colour to make this work is black. By this I mean that only information that needs to be displayed is displayed (in all the colours you listed). Eve…

I don't hate putting a lot of blame on social media, just as much as I blame the tobacco companies for a lot of lung cancer. Put differently, social media companies are the tobacco…

I tend to use whatever I perceive to be the most fitting library for each of those concerns (except ORM), but not complete frameworks.

Indeed, if I were proposing contributions to the Linux kernel, or any other kind of systems development, I'd probably be considering Rust. For backend services, the decision is bet…

Go was never about being easy to write (thought it is), but it was always about being easy to read and it is, by far, the easiest language to read that I've ever used (and througho…

My thoughts exactly.

And by the comments in this section, there’s a lot of them.

My side projects have landed me new real paying customers by giving me the skills in stacks on which I wasn't getting experience from existing customers.

If only the Internet were much more frequently as nice as your reply. :-)

Portuguese here. Of course we are still exposed to higher prices. Most of our car and truck fleet still runs on fossil. Notwithstanding all of the effort we made with renewable ene…
