<span>These are my social media posts from the last six months. I keep them here to reflect on them and also to not lose them. Social media networks come and go and are not under my control, but my domain is here to stay. </span><br />

<span>These are from Mastodon and LinkedIn. Have a look at my about page for my social media profiles. This list is generated with Gos, my social media platform sharing tool.</span><br />

<span>Recently, there was a &gt;5000 LOC <span class='inlinecode'>#bash</span> codebase at work that reported the progress of a migration, nobody understood it and it was wonky (sometimes it would not return the desired results). On top of that, the coding style was very bad as well (I could rant forever here). The engineer who wrote it left the company. I rewrote it in <span class='inlinecode'>#Perl</span> in about 300 LOC.

<span>Go is not an easy programming language. Don&#39;t confuse easy with simple syntax. I&#39;d agree to this.

<span>I think I am slowly getting the point of Cue. For example, it can replace both a JSON file and a JSON Schema. Furthermore, you can convert it from and into different formats (Cue, JSON, YAML, Go data types, ...), and you can nicely embed this into a Go project as well. <span class='inlinecode'>#cue</span> <span class='inlinecode'>#cuelang</span> <span class='inlinecode'>#golang</span> <span class='inlinecode'>#configuration</span></span><br />

However, you don&#39;t need to know too much about how it works under the hood in Go (like memory management in C). It&#39;s just the fact that you can—you have a choice. <span class='inlinecode'>#golang</span></span><br />

This seems inefficient, but if you to lose motivation, you can temporarily switch to another one with full élan. Remember to stop starting and start finishing.

<span>With the advent of AI and LLMs, I have observed that being able to type quickly has become even more important for engineers. Previously, fast typing wasn&#39;t as crucial when coding, as most of the time was spent thinking or navigating through the code. However, with LLMs, you find yourself typing much more frequently. That&#39;s an unexpected personal win for me, as I recently learned fast touch typing: <span class='inlinecode'>#llm</span> <span class='inlinecode'>#coding</span> <span class='inlinecode'>#programming</span></span><br />

<span>I understand that Kubernetes is not for everyone, but it still seems to be the new default for everything newly built. Despite the fact that Kubernetes is complex to maintain and use, there is still a lot of SRE/DevOps talent out there who have it on their CVs, which contributes significantly to the supportability of the infrastructure and the applications running on it. This way, you don&#39;t have to teach every new engineer your "own way" infrastructure. It&#39;s like a standard language of infrastructure that many people speak. However, Kubernetes should not be the default solution for everything, in my opinion. <span class='inlinecode'>#kubernetes</span> <span class='inlinecode'>#k8s</span></span><br />
