Stared at my screen for a good while, not understanding why a git diff didn't git apply when it obviously should. Turns out Discord turns tabs into spaces when you send code snippets, even inside triple quotes 🙄 As a workaround, use git apply --ignore-whitespace.

The issue with GitHub Actions used to be its poor design. Nowadays it's down so often, that I don't even get to think about that at all.

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.

overdue for a gofumpt release, so I took the chance to close a bunch of issues too! #golang

Holy cheese my untyped composite literal proposal from 2015 just got accepted. #golang github.com/golang/go/is...

It's about two and a half years since we installed a heat pump and disconnected gas in this house, so out of curiosity I went to look at our average efficiency over this time. The install study predicted about 350%, but we're actually averaging 425%!

I'm officially looking around, if anybody needs a Go software engineer with a very strong background in web security lmk. I also know a fair share of frontend dev and was a SWE/SE for Google and Microsoft. I'm looking for security-sensitive dev projects and security reviews.

I keep finding Semantic Line Breaks really useful for doc comments and markdown documentation - it really makes reading the plaintext so much nicer and shouldn't affect the rendered text in any way.

Come find us at our booth tomorrow!

1/ I've just published three orthogonal but related CUE proposals. #cuelang 🧵

Find out how the source-level inliner in Go 1.26 can help you with API migrations. go.dev/blog/inliner

I've just released a new version of the "sh" #golang module, including initial Zsh support in shfmt, as well as many improvements and fixes to the parser and interpreter 🎉

📣 We have released #cuelang v0.16.0 - introducing an experiment with `try` and `else`, big performance gains, lots of LSP work, and much more! 🎉

Finally! No more "dirty" #golang builds because you have untracked files laying around which don't affect the build at all :)

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

I'm at #FOSDEM all weekend! Ping me to talk #cuelang or #golang :)

This was really cool! Thanks @aendra.com and @davenash.com for organizing. And to @alex.bsky.team for fielding my questions!

@rog.bsky.social this sounds perfect for testing servers locally, especially with synctest 😊 github.com/golang/go/is...

📣 We have just released #cuelang v0.16.0-alpha.1 - packed with big performance gains, lots of LSP work, and many other improvements 🎉

Tonight's the night! We have a boatload of demos lined up and it's looking like we'll pack Newspeak House. We'll also have a quick informal show-and-tell at the start if you've found something interesting in the Atmosphere and want to share! See you there!

Type inferred composite literals in #golang might happen after all 👀

Interesting expansion of generics in #golang 👀

Needing to use GnuPG to decrypt one file after not using it for nearly ten years, and I'm reminded of why I stopped using it. And yup, I completely failed at decrypting the one file with a simple password. Twenty minutes of googling and doc reading after, I just feel like I'm losing my mind.

I'll be at #FOSDEM next week! Haven't been since 2014, which feels like a lifetime ago. If we have met or collaborated in the past, or you'd like to say hi, my DMs are open :) #golang #cuelang

A good way to keep up with the Go project is this starter pack from @mvdan.cc (long-time #golang contributor). Two other good ways to keep up are subscribing to the Go proposal review meeting GitHub issue: go.dev/issue/33502 and the Go compiler & runtime meeting notes issue: go.dev/issue/43930

New blog post, with a perhaps mildly unpopular opinion: jayconrod.com/posts/133/in...

My GopherCon talk was just posted!

Half a year later, really happy with my @frame.work 13 purchase. Definitely not going back to Thinkpads. Reasonably happy with Fedora Atomic Sway too. Arch worked great for over a decade, but these days I prefer a system that Just Works out of the box, and is near impossible to break.

Make GitHub Actions, and the rest of your CI/CD and workflow stack, more powerful with type safety, validation, reusability, and policy enforcement using CUE! How? Easy - check out this hands-on demo from our community member @rawkode.dev: www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFtQ...

Missed our deep dive on the CUE LSP? No worries - we re-recorded the demo! See how to bring CUE's logic engine into your editor with instant validation, error-checking, and rich language features as you type. Watch here: youtu.be/4bVddevVK9c

I'm struggling to connect my Discord profile with Bluesky; it ends up in an error code 10001 no matter what I do. I tried from the desktop app, from Android, even from the web client on Chrome. Any tips?

My talk from GopherCon 2025 about Green Tea is up on YouTube! www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPJk...

Got bytten by reflect.Value.Seq2 in #golang being rather inefficient for slices; filed a proposal for a new API.

📣 We have just released #cuelang v0.15.0 - introducing the CUE LSP, two new language experiments, and much, much more 🎉

TIL that wcurl exists - curl for downloading files with sane defaults! Thanks @daniel.haxx.se :)

I've asked the team behind Cue to come prepared to discuss the limits of configuration management when dealing with different configuration systems, for example, using Terraform, Kubernetes, and GitHub Actions to manage a single project, something that occurs more often than you would think.

Final call! 📣 Join us with @kelseyhightower.com tomorrow, Tuesday, Nov 4, at 17:00 UTC to explore the future of configuration with our Configuration Control Plane, and turn configuration from a source of risk into a source of reliability! Register here: luma.com/ysloofz3

Big news: We’re thrilled to officially announce CUE Labs, the company behind CUE, founded by creator @mpvl.io and @myitcv.io. CUE Labs provides the dedicated stewardship and resources accelerating CUE's open source development and ensuring its long-term, stable future. cue.dev/blog/announc...

So excited to finally share what we've been building at CUE Labs! Proud to be on this mission with @mpvl.io, @myitcv.io, @rog.bsky.social, @hylomorphism.bsky.social, and @dominikdm.bsky.social.
