@mattschoch Oops. Fixed! Thanks for flagging that :)

@Vikstrous Would love to hear more - your DMs are off, shoot me a message?

I'm working on giving AI agents access to payment systems. It's incredible how much is being built in this space right now. Reach out to us at agentic@anchorage.com if you have agents that need access to make crypto and fiat payments and to manage money.

@karrisaarinen Well, I know what I want: boring infrastructure. Git, triggering CI, a blackboard for tools to post data to, and not much else. Github has me captured through a different network effect: integrations. Everything integrates with github!

What is unclear to me is what people actually want some new GitHub to be. To me, the biggest challenge GitHub has always had is that it is trying to serve two very different worlds. On one side, it is a social network around code and open source. On the other, it is infrastructure for companies building software. Those two groups operate almost in opposite ways, so the product has always been some kind of compromise between them. Because those users are so far apart, it can fail both of them in different ways. Inside a company, you mostly just want to review and merge code. You are not discovering new code, and you are probably not forking things. You may have a monorepo, a known team, and a trusted environment. What you want from GitHub is efficiency and safety: PRs, review, ownership, CI, Actions, tests, security checks, and a clear path to getting code merged. Open source is different. It is much more public and much less trusted. You need better ways to figure out who is contributing, what to accept, how to manage the project, how to handle issues, and how to maintain trust with people you may not know. So are people asking for a new open source code hosting and social network, or do they want better private infrastructure for software teams? Or both? I would never choose to build both from the start. I think every product gets better when it is more purpose-built and designed around a specific need. You could maybe imagine some nested model, where private repos have a much simpler and more focused mode, but you can still exit that mode and browse around the public space.

Out of everything I've read about software architecture, the most important thing is to have a "domain layer". It doesn't matter who your preferred software architecture guru is. They'll all tell you that you need one of these. viktorstanchev.com/posts/guard-yo…

This is why you should care about the UIs of transaction signing devices. Full talk at: youtube.com/watch?v=Mjd3kF…

@EthTaipei was excellent. I learned a lot and got to meet some really interesting people. Thank you for inviting us to speak about the risks of blind signing and to sing "I want it that way"

Do you get stuck when trying to make large code refactors across a whole codebase? I've been refactoring a monorepo regularly for years and I have some tips to share. viktorstanchev.com/posts/how-to-b…

[1/16] The real world is large, and we want our AI models to operate on the scale of reality. Over the past two years, my colleagues and I have developed fVDB, a deep learning framework for large-scale, high performance spatial intelligence. We finally announced this work at SIGGRAPH and have released the framework in early access. Here’s a small tour of what fVDB is, and what we’ve used it to do.

Learn more about the benefits of writing code without global state from my new blog post! viktorstanchev.com/posts/achieve-… What have missed? What are your experiences with/without global state?

This is the project I've been working on lately. I can talk about now that it's public :)

Let's play Unpopular Opinions! 🎸 @vikstrous thinks burritos are great meanwhile lobster is "arguably not food" 🌯🔝🦞 🎥 Explainer ~> youtu.be/eqfKFdVRJAE Do you agree? Vote and reply with your hot take! #golang #unpopularopinion

Are you using @temporalio and writing workflows in Go using their #golang SDK? I created a type-safe wrapper around the Temporal Go SDK called tstemporal. It helps you avoid many common mistakes when working with Temporal workflows. viktorstanchev.com/posts/tstempor…

This #golang package I wrote is useful to anyone building #graphql servers in Go. It has a nicer interface than other data loader packages and works just as well or better. viktorstanchev.com/posts/why-i-wr…

@roblaszczak I'm glad you liked it! I love your blog btw. I followed it when it was more active and it's still a great resource. Thanks for putting so much grant info in the open for everyone to read.

I also probably need to re-think my life because I agree with almost all of your unpopular opinions (maybe except lobsters😬)

Very informative Go Time episode about Go Event-Driven architecture, congrats @crichardson @Indu_alagarsamy @vikstrous @Angelica_Hill!

I had a great time chatting about event driven systems on @GoTimeFM with @Indu_alagarsamy and @crichardson! Thanks you @Angelica_Hill for making it happen! #golang #microservices

I started to dabble in building web UIs with HTMX and building front-ends. It allows for building very high performing and smooth feeling websites without writing fancy JavaScript. Read my initial thoughts about HTMX here: viktorstanchev.com/posts/explorin…
