It was only a small addition but I'm rather proud that I'm a contributor to TinyGo v0.36.0 — it'll now work nicely with GoReleaser because build directories are created in the same way as big Go! 🥳

Anurag Goel, Founder/CEO of Render, joins Adam to discuss what they're doing to solve cloud problems for application developers. They just raised $80M they don't even need and they're poised to solve boring problems like object storage, and less boring things like building for the AI era.
Working from home/remotely is great, and I have been doing it for well over 14 years now. The feeling of isolation and disconnection is real, though, and having a safe virtual co-working space could help here. If this sounds like something you want to try, discord.gg/J7etJWCRys ✌️

You’ve been taught to conference by @tristanlombard.bsky.social and @elchefe.me when half your suit case is a full size skin care and a bottle of rose water.
Talk outfit has been approved by the tech besties.
Dream: now that I left Google, no more performance reviews!
Reality: writing the CFP submission for “The Go Cryptography State of the Union” every year.
Jerod and Adam use Chris Kiehl's post on development topics he's changed his mind on (over the last 10 years) as a proxy for discussion on dev things they HAVE and HAVE NOT changed their minds on.
Sometimes, executive dysfunction/ADHD lies to you about a task that will only take an hour at best to make it seem like a huge, multi hour thing
Today, I am finally cleaning/organizing my desk.
ADHD was not lying 🥲
Folks may be interested to see that I've now got an RSS feed for my salary page, which is also on the Fediverse via @www.jvt.me.salary in case y'all wanna know when there are any updates to it 👀
Ngl I hate that "build this from scratch" is common as part of interviewing. In 5 years of working as a software eng all I ever did was contribute to large codebases and build on top of existing code.
Closest to that is prototyping for a tech design but even then you're not building in isolation...
I was… probably not gonna last much longer at NPM. I was doing really poorly just trying to do what was apparently needed. I wasn’t on a PIP but I was very close to it.
And then I was just… given free rein and that’s when cacache/pacote/NPM5 & 6 happened
It was kind of incredible

Hey did you know that the two most productive people I have ever had on my teams have been people I was told to fire for performance reasons?
This is why it’s so important to:
1) hear context from previous managers but not anchor to it
2) give people clear feedback and give them a chance
To those who are also looking for engineering roles, what websites are you using?
I know I've been relying on DiversifyTech, LinkedIn & TechLadies. Any other notable ones I should add to my list?
For the past year, David Crawshaw has intentionally sought ways to use LLMs while programming, in order to learn about them. He now regularly use LLMs while working and considers their benefits a net-positive on his productivity. David wrote down his experience, which we found both practical and insightful. Hopefully y...

Heather Meeker joined the show to talk about open source licensing, why open source licenses are historically significant, how much developers really need to know, and how much developers think they know. We also talk about mixing commercial and open source licenses, and how lawyers keep up with an ever-changing landsc...
Jessie Frazelle joins us this week to talk about being an open source maintainer, Docker's pull request acceptance workflow, dotfiles, getting started with public speaking.
As I sit home with a terrible cold, I can’t help but be pissed that we decided as a society that we’re just cool with getting sick.
We applied technology to water-borne and food-borne illness, and you generally don’t get sick that way anymore.
But airborne? Nah, let’s keep getting sick.
I’m really happy to see companies starting to open source more games that they’ve ~sunset.
between this and Valve open sourcing the code for TF2… I’m weirdly hopeful
