I'm writing Go again (for what, you'll see later...). `go doc` and `gopls` are like agent superpowers and its shocking how productive agents are out of the box at writing [good] Go code versus other languages I've used (including the JS ecosystem). Also, Go + Zig is a good mix.

Go for the higher level and concurrent stuff and then no-libc Zig code plus the Zig compiler for zero dependency cross-compiled cgo with high-performance characteristics (minimize cgo boundary crosses). Chefs kiss.

Its funny because a lot of the shitty ergonomics of Go CLIs like `go doc` and `gopls` (prev. stuff like `go oracle` or `guru`) are totally obviated by agents and not just that but in a twist of irony they're excellent for agents.

Don't worry, its not Ghostty. Ghostty and libghostty will remain pure Zig; it's a fantastic fit and a perfect pairing. This is for something else.

"Wait, I thought you said Go has no place anymore?" I was wrong, mostly because agents are so productive at Go. I won't bring in other languages in this discussion because I don't want to feed the crabs, so to speak. lol.

Agency > Intelligence

I had this intuitively wrong for decades, I think due to a pervasive cultural veneration of intelligence, various entertainment/media, obsession with IQ etc. Agency is significantly more powerful and significantly more scarce. Are you hiring for agency? Are we educating for agency? Are you acting as if you had 10X agency?

Grok explanation is ~close:

“Agency, as a personality trait, refers to an individual's capacity to take initiative, make decisions, and exert control over their actions and environment. It’s about being proactive rather than reactive—someone with high agency doesn’t just let life happen to them; they shape it. Think of it as a blend of self-efficacy, determination, and a sense of ownership over one’s path.

People with strong agency tend to set goals and pursue them with confidence, even in the face of obstacles. They’re the type to say, “I’ll figure it out,” and then actually do it. On the flip side, someone low in agency might feel more like a passenger in their own life, waiting for external forces—like luck, other people, or circumstances—to dictate what happens next.

It’s not quite the same as assertiveness or ambition, though it can overlap. Agency is quieter, more internal—it’s the belief that you *can* act, paired with the will to follow through. Psychologists often tie it to concepts like locus of control: high-agency folks lean toward an internal locus, feeling they steer their fate, while low-agency folks might lean external, seeing life as something that happens *to* them.”

There’s no point in learning custom tools, workflows, or languages anymore.

kops is still the best way to deploy / manage your kubernetes cluster.

tried @kirodotdev today, loved its spec generation and then moving to the actual implementation, however adding files to context could have been similar to other editors ie with "@".

These gates are a prime example of bad UX. confusing and unintuitive.

[Mini Nair @minicnair]

A youtube channel with 5 million followers made an amazing 30 minute video about ISRO.

But the Indian RW attacked the channel in comments for showing an incorrect Indian map of a few seconds in the video.

How did we get so isolated in the world? This is how.

I'm seeing a lot of Pakistani 🇵🇰 handles tweeting from London 🇬🇧 or in general outside of pak these days!

[Chandan Singha @fockshh]

@HumairaWajahat The video literally says "explosions heard along the city of Srinagar". Srinagar is the capital of Jammu and Kashmir, India. Hence, it becomes evident that Pakistan actually violated the ceasefire.
