My PromCon 2020 talk just landed in the official Prometheus docs, six years later. Still sitting with it. "A talk is a moment. A docs page is a place."

we left kids to their own devices with social media. repeating the same with AI would be a disaster. i think kallas is actually on to something here. i have no hope that our education systems can figure out a way on how to teach kids how to deal with that tech in time.

PSA: Green Tea GC in go1.26 is incredible 🚀 This is what we saw for two big Go services. We'll try to gather more data and share it soon.

Just a reminder to everyone in town this week, and everyone watching from afar: I've been maintaining the #kubecon feed on here for a while, so if there's any issues with it, please let me know. bsky.app/profile/did:...

If you’re new to Bluesky here’s a Kubecon starter pack I made go.bsky.app/RCerxDE

Crazy!! #firefly www.reddit.com/r/firefly/s/...

Growing convinced we could and should ship new version cooldown in the Go modules ecosystem. The subdb and MVP get us far, and supply chain attacks are not much of a thing in Go beyond typosquatting, but we want to stay ahead of them. github.com/golang/go/is...

.git/info/exclude is one of my favorite git features, but I'm always surprised when I talk to people who never heard about it. It basically allows you to add stuff to .gitignore without modifying the file. Great for ad-hoc ignoring some files created during debugging.

Terminal is SO back baby. Dusted off my dotfiles for the first time since college and I forgot how satisfying this rabbit hole is. Nothing like spending 3 hours perfecting my shell workflow to avoid the actual work I was supposed to do.

Fixed an issue solo on my phone while the little one fell asleep. Claude + GitHub apps made it work. Future is weird 💤

Dependabot security alerts have terrible signal-to-noise ratio, especially for Go vulns. That hurts security! Just turn it off and set up a pair of scheduled GitHub Actions, one running govulncheck and the other running CI with the latest version of your deps. Less work, less risk, better results!

Go 1.26 has a lot to love, including significant performance improvements that are completely transparent to Go developers. Just upgrade and your Go programs run faster -- no other changes required!

“Go 1.26 is released” by Carlos Amedee, on behalf of the Go team — https://go.dev/blog/go1.26 #golang

very cool!

What if Claude Code is “a guy in the Philippines”? 🤔🧐🤨

Front row seats to @kakkoyun.me's talk #FOSDEM

I’m glad to have been able to catch my colleagues @kakkoyun.me and Augusto de Oliveira’s talk. I’m an internal user of our benchmarking platform at @datadoghq.com and I learnt a few more things! Nice talk! #FOSDEM #FOSDEM26 #FOSDEM2026

Woohoo! @kakkoyun.me hits twice at #FOSDEM with another talk. Now with Hannah Kim, talking about how to instrument your #Go code without changing a line. #FOSDEM26 #FOSDEM2026

That time of year has come! It’s FOSDEM o’clock.

Running Claude Code on a Linux box over SSH just unlocked a whole new world for me. I’ve never managed to become an avid Vim user (too impatient, and lazy), but now I can code comfortably through SSH with Claude doing the heavy lifting.

Time to pick this up again. It’s getting more relevant everyday.

With #FlightRecorder #Go introduced a powerful tool. As I'm involved in the #OTel Profiles signal, I have created an OTel receiver that transforms Go's FlightRecorder format into the OTel Profiles signal. Now you can analyze Go diagnostics in your own favorite backend/UI! github.com/florianl/fli...

Related #golang PSA: Gophers often mistakenly put a -u in 'go get -u foo', when they would have been better off with just 'go get foo'. 'go get foo' says to upgrade foo itself. It's shorthand for 'go get foo@upgrade' 'go get -u foo' says to *also* upgrade all the direct and indirect deps of foo.

FIRE subreddits are wild. Everyone’s 29, retired, owns 3 rentals, and “just got lucky with some BS hype .” Meanwhile I’m emotionally attached to my budgeting app.

Authenticated CLIs + skills are more secure, faster, and cheaper than MCPs for external services in Claude Code. But sure, let’s add more layers of complexity. That always works.

Go 1.26 is coming soon, and the official release notes are pretty dry. So I prepared an interactive version with lots of examples. Read on and see! antonz.org/go-1-26

8 years in Germany. Finally converted my driver's license. Time-to-completion is only slightly worse than continental drift. Proudly nominating myself for Procrastinator of the Decade.

I just came across two surprisingly handy macOS utilities: github.com/tw93/Mole and github.com/productdevbo...

Because one talk over a weekend apparently wasn’t enough bad life choices: Also on Sunday, 12:30–13:10 in H.1301 (Software Performance devroom) I’ll be speaking with Augusto de Oliveira: “How to Measure Software Performance Reliably”

I’m heading to FOSDEM 2026 🧪 On Sunday, 13:30–14:00 in UB5.132 (Go devroom) I’ll be co-presenting with Hannah Kim: “How to Instrument Go Without Changing a Single Line of Code” Basically: all the ways to get observability without touching your beloved git blame.

This past week I used my R&D week at @datadoghq.com to build a WASM transpiler that generates Go (ARM64) assembly code. It's not publicly available - I want to rebuild it from scratch - but I can tell you that it works!

I'm looking for a PR review tool dedicated and native to macOS. I tried tools embedded to VS Code, but I didn't like the experience. I want good UX and standalone app (so that I can track how much time I spent reviewing code). Any suggestions?

Technically “fuck around and find out” is the scientific method

@deadprogram.com I would love your opinions on this 😊

A bit more context: I have libraries written in other native languages that I want to expose from a Go package/module. Today, there are basically two ways to do this: 1. CGO and link against those libraries. 2. purego (e.g. github.com/ebitengine/p...) and dynamically load them.

Does anyone know someone attempted to transpile WASM to Go ASM? Or similar?

No monitoring and observability room? 🤔 cc @richih.bsky.social

If you have an interest in understanding garbage collection better, or in how Go's new GC works under-the-hood, I highly recommend reading @michael.express's thorough guide through Go's current and Green Tea GC.
