Finally had the chance to upgrade my graphics card and make my desktop capable of running the latest games 👌

Quite a few comments on the socials about this - it's funny how polarizing the concept of aliasing is.

Some people love it, some people think "it's the worst thing ever".

Adding a new 'tips' section to my site, where I can throw random articles I've wanted to write about for ages onto my site without having to worry about classifications...

The first article - 'Aliasing your Git Commands for Maximum Productivity' https://t.co/2g5536GfPi

It also feels good to have that freedom to really dive into anything I'd like to talk about, most of the time, it will be Go, but I do want to start branching out into general software engineering topics a little more such as the one above.

I'm currently on an 8-day streak of doing random little odd-jobs and writing bits for my site after spending a long time away.

It feels good to feel that spark return and I want to start writing again, although I'm trying to limit myself to avoid burnout... again...

@t_prei It’s pretty interesting how it works under the hood - this blog post https://t.co/q3nXGszvQJ - gives an overview on things like why limits were placed on the number of parameters and how these iterators effectively get compiled to.

Definitely a bit of a tangent from my Go videos, but I’m loving spending more time in the Scottish Highlands with my partner Donna!
