Working with the Go team there are a lot of conversations that go completely over my head. Earlier in my career I'd be embarrassed about this and pretend to understand, now I'm vocal about it. If I don't understand it, it's likely others would benefit from simplification.

@davehappyminion Whoever that first photo is is a handsome fella, but he's not me. Ball 1.

@sid6mathur I think they should definitely consider what the best language is best for that specific need. In that space there's a spectrum.. Go is great at RPC style things, Python really has a huge edge on ML specific things. It depends on the nature of the specifics.

@spf13 Good article, Steve. As a long term Go person; do you think a Go shop should switch to Python if working on the MCP and agent ecosystem on developer-adjacent tooling and APIs?

Stop debating language features. Start measuring economic impact. 9 factors that reveal what your programming language actually costs across its full lifecycle, from authoring to hiring to security to AI. #EngineeringLeadership #DevOps spf13.com/p/the-9-factor…

Have you subscribed to the @code podcast yet?!?!?! vscodepodcast.com Some fantastic pods: - Building OSS with @spf13 - Chat Modes with @burkeholland - Agent Memory with @digitarald - Learning with AI with @stolinski - Coding agents with @BrigitMurtaugh - Tons more!

Why do tech leaders burn millions on language choice? They think it's a tech debate. It's an identity crisis. Explore the "invisible conversation" (ego vs. logic) and how to reframe it as an economic decision. #Leadership #Engineering #Tech spf13.com/p/the-hidden-c…

@film_girl @martinwoodward Thank you for making it such an amazing week. Much love to the entire Github crew.

@spf13 @martinwoodward Thank you for being with us this week Steve!

Heading home inspired by #GitHubUniverse. I feel like the entire vibe can be summed up in this one slide by @martinwoodward The best developers never stop experimenting. Stay curious.

@caarlos0 @martinwoodward I would have loved to see you. Bummed it didn’t happen.

@spf13 @martinwoodward oh you were there? didn’t see you 😔

Deeply inspired by conversations with @simonw @johnlindquist @jlengstorf @knowtheory, @pfrazee and Jesse (@s.ly on bluesky) The best part of #GitHubUniverse is bringing together people from across the different ecosystems

@ibuildthecloud @ashleymcnamara @trunarla @shaundai @theo @pfrazee Would love to cross paths again. Let’s catch up on a call. DM me.

@spf13 @ashleymcnamara @trunarla @shaundai @theo @pfrazee One day I'd love to cross paths with you again. I met you once shortly at a dockercon. I should have been at GitHub universe. Anyhow, that was it.

Had a great time at #GitHubUniverse with friends new and old @ashleymcnamara @trunarla @shaundai @theo @pfrazee Jerry Shavon

I love GitHub ❤️ Check out @martinwoodward hacking a furby on stage because of course he is. woodwardweb.com/post/2025/10/c…

This is cool. #golang is ranked #8 in the TIOBE index. tiobe.com/tiobe-index/

This is very cool. @spf13 was kind enough to come on the show. This will be worth your time to listen. #golang

Getting excited for @GopherconAU and @GopherConSG by having some fun with @spf13 's cobra framework and mum4k's termdash package to create a timetravel CLI, similar to the #BackToTheFuture delorean's dashboard 🚗⚡️. Is it a bit too much? Maybe, but I love having fun with this and it's a great way to learn and get inspired. Code is on my github page: github.com/marianina8/tim…

Hugo now has a Mastodon account: @gohugoio" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">fosstodon.org/@gohugoio We have (temporarily I hope) lost access to our Twitter account @GoHugoIO (we forgot who created that account). If you have any tips on how to fix that, PM/mail me. /cc @spf13

Surveys like this provide so much insight to the developers. Join me in helping out one of my favorite open source projects.
