Hey @YouTube I would pay an extra $10/month on top of YouTube Premium to disable shorts. I don't want to see another short ever again. Please let me toggle them off.

@GoTimeFM Sad to hear the end of an era is upon us, I believe I've listend to every episode of the show. A big shoutout to everyone who has kept it running for this long and I'm excited to see what's next for Changelog.fm!

@wolfofx Well if you grab the topography map from earlier you will see why

9. Why is there almost an line here where the population just drops off?

Last week, I shared a post about a silly mistake I made as a consequence of not reading the docs. This is how I tried to solve it: blog.webstra.dev/posts/retracti… Spoiler alert: I read the docs this time! #go #softwareengineer #coding #softwareengineering #golang

If only I would have read the docs! Check out my latest post about my experience with releasing a new major version of a go module, and the goofy mistake I made in doing so. blog.webstra.dev/posts/releasin… #go #softwareengineer #coding #softwareengineering #golang

I created a v2 api for my #gin #pagination #middleware package. github.com/webstradev/gin… Let me know what you think!

@mitchellh I think it’s party just the natural progression from gamer to coder. Most gamers use windows and a lot of gamers mess around with code or actually become engineers. For me for the longest time I didnt know better. Till i got a macbook at work. Life changed that day…

I can understand engineers who use Linux. I can understand engineers who use macOS. I really don’t understand engineers who use Windows (except windows app developers). By understand I mean I can see the value system they operate under. It just seems bad for non-Windows dev work

The only thing I think I have left to do is to refactor the tests a bit. I didn't really do much to them other then ensure they still pass. Potentially there are some more improvements to be made there.

I released a v2 api for my gin pagination middleware package! github.com/webstradev/gin…

I started by just wanting to making a few things more inline with best practices and standards, but that quickly led to a new API.

The reason I initially picked this up because I wrote it quite some time ago and since then I have spent a lot of time diving deeper into Go, and I learned a lot.

@joshmanders And/or a lot of companies have gotten themselves vendor locked to AWS and can’t be asked to switch.

Hot take: AWS is not even the best or cheapest cloud anymore. It's just the one everyone uses and ya'll are lemmings.

@chfsrh Homebrew, then git so I can clone my dotfiles/setup repo to do the rest

Switched from VSC to Cursor (which is pretty effortless) to try it out for a day and I can definitely see myself paying for this. Give it a try, thank me later.

@MaverickAlbert5 Always used vsc but i just switched to Cursor. Thank me later

Which code editor do you use as software developer?
