@pawankalyandev absolute banger of a project. how did you even come up with this idea

[ninet33n @_ninet33n_]

nice read even though if u ain't a senior engineer

new post: the senior engineer death spiral

a friend just started a big job and asked for some advice. so I braindumped a monologue about a super common failure mode I see with engineers and posted it here, hope it helps whoever it can.

@nicole_clash we like our suffering raw and real 😔✋

at this point in time, I be working on 4k+ lines proc and still feel it's manageable

Somehow a 100-line SQL query is considered unmaintainable, but splitting the same logic across five services and a message queue is considered architecture.

I trained a small model to do syntax highlighting in the browser with GPU.

Meet gpu-lexer from Vercel Labs: Small (27.5KB), fast (runs on WebGPU), and language-agnostic (model guesses the syntax).

It is experimental and built for learning!

@xevrion_the1 suree should I create a issue for it ?

i love golang genuinely but what is up with not supporting default values in function parameters in the name of simplicity and explicit code 😭

My favorite trick to reduce memory overhead in a Go app is to replace all time.Time references with int64. time.Time is 24 bytes versus 8 bytes, so a 3x improvement. There's also a GC improvement since time.Time contains a *Location pointer.

We maintain a few indexes in our engine which are ordered by priority and timestamp (these are queue-related indexes). We'd like to do everything possible to ensure this index fits in memory (and only fall back to disk with enormous backlogs).

In our first implementation, we'd read these rows out of the database to construct the index and convert pgtype.Timestamptz -> time.Time. But this strategy only let us fit a few million entries in memory on a 2GB machine. After a light refactor and partially due to this fix, we're nearing hundreds of millions of slots.

This is nowhere near Cloudflare's level of optimization but was very leveraged in our case.

@dexer_matters how are you able to render album art on terminal?

@dipxsyy closest thing to opentui in go is bubbletea, lipgloss and it's components

[ninet33n @_ninet33n_]

you got to be fucking kidding me considering I hardly used my plan. Thanks github for providing me with 2 dollars worth of agents 😀

[ninet33n @_ninet33n_]

thanks bro, turns out my hinge match is also AI generated 😔

Let's end your business bro
