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.

Our @golang load balancer at @render handles more than 150 billion HTTP requests a month across millions of services. The number of times we've wanted to rewrite it in Rust: zero. Go is the most underrated language in infrastructure. "Boring" is the ultimate feature.

I'll be kind of honest, it sorta sucks that everyone can barf code now. I'll get used to it, but it was nice to have a skill people couldn't easily reproduce in the worst way possible. I'm sure I have something valuable to offer, but code isn't it anymore.

@WorldFamousHot1 Swap yer

Octopus Energy is wild. You owe us £960. Your bill for this month is £180 Might be less though. Might be more though? We dunno soz byeeeee

@adamdotdev Welcome to the world of spec driven development / prompt engineering , I compare it to having an argument with the wife - your tweet is where I am at present but I’m finding my passion finding flaws in the code which is produced from AI

Programming was deeply satisfying work to me. Work for hours/days before getting the payoff of the code working well on your machine. I’m feeling so much friction now to open the editor and do this kind of task by hand, but also increasingly depressed with the nature of work in an AI assisted dev workflow. Back and forth prompting seems to eat at my soul. Need to find a balance that brings back some of the toil.

@XFreeze Stock pump

Elon Musk predicts that AI will bypass coding entirely by the end of 2026 - just creates the binary directly AI can create a much more efficient binary than can be done by any compiler So just say, "Create optimized binary for this particular outcome," and you actually bypass even traditional coding Current: Code → Compiler → Binary → Execute Future: Prompt → AI-generated Binary → Execute Grok Code is going to be state-of-the-art in 2–3 months Software development is about to fundamentally change

@hamptonism Prompt engineering jobs replacing software engineering jobs ?

Learning how to code will be the most useless skill in 12 months.

@hamptonism AI been around year but catapulted into the limelight on 2021, in 2022 they said we would need software developer by 2025 and we are hiring more - it’s absolute bollocks pump stocks ! Is AI a gold co-pilot, I’d say so , does AI set you back sometime hours , I’d also say that

Anthropic CEO: Software engineering will be completely obsolete in 6-12 months…

@433 It’s time stop watching football if stoke city in disguise win league

𝗔𝗥𝗦𝗘𝗡𝗔𝗟 𝗚𝗢 6️⃣ 𝗣𝗢𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗦 𝗖𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗥 😱 City 𝗦𝗟𝗜𝗣 𝗨𝗣 in Birmingham again, Arsenal beat Palace to 𝗘𝗫𝗧𝗘𝗡𝗗 lead at the top 📊🔫 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐆𝐎𝐓 𝐓𝐎 𝐁𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐀𝐑𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐀𝐋’𝐒 𝐘𝐄𝐀𝐑, 𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓❓

“Liverpool only won the league because everyone else was rubbish” Well what the fuck is this then 💀

@LukeEdwardsTele That’s cos eddy Howe got about as much pull as a limpless dick

🚨EXCLUSIVE Newcastle United have told Alexander Isak he will not be sold this summer and move to Liverpool will be blocked - sparking player fury #nufc #lfc telegraph.co.uk/football/2025/…

@JamesPearceLFC Popcorn

Joe Gomez has flown home from Liverpool's pre-season tour of Asia due to a minor Achilles injury.

@ClarksonsFarm1 That’s the new norm in Rip off Britain , rising costs for energy and tax and pushing everything up

With free will you can literally choose what to spend your money on, so why do some have to moan. Supporting local economy, Providing local jobs and supporting British farmers, all while providing a public service! Prices reflect the quality of the food and service which is excellent!

@MoSalah Now let’s win league for that angel

I am truly lost for words. Until yesterday, I never thought there would be something that would frighten me of going back to Liverpool after the break. Team mates come and go but not like this. It’s going to be extremely difficult to accept that Diogo won’t be there when we go back. My thoughts are with his wife, his children, and of course his parents who suddenly lost their children. Those close to Diogo and his brother Andre need all the support they can get. They will never be forgotten.

Greatest club in the world

@MoSalah Love this shirt Mo can I pick one up at primark?

Thank you for your birthday wishes.

@NostalgicNUFC85 @Corballyred Clearly you have fuck all idea on how to operate a business and something called “net spend”

@Lea_EFC @footballtweet Time you deactivated

@footballtweet You missed off their most influential player

🚨 What is stopping this Liverpool team from winning the Premier League again next season? 🤔

@footballtweet 😂 clueless - no one replacing the king in goals

@AnfieldEdition He starts next season ! Absolute beast when fit

Chiesa: “I wouldn’t mind staying in Liverpool at all.” Would you keep him?
