Go Kafka 👏 I’ve been learning Golang for a few months and building small projects to learn both the language features and familiarize myself with the API of popular libraries to do ‘backendy’ things.

Wrote a sample starter for using Kafka using the Confluent-Kafka Go package and Docker Compose. Please let me know how I can improve it!

Can't help but notice that every Database company has a podcast. Are people really listening to that many podcasts?

Learned about deterministic replay in the context of building a uni-processor fault tolerant VM. Cloud providers have done a great job in abstracting the nuances of VMs away but so many interesting things happen under the hood #dsos

It worked! Had fun writing a really simple golang script. Took me <30mins.

Creating this post from my terminal. Having some fun with Bsky API :) Does this work?

@davidpierce.xyz You talked about how Netflix's market is limited to Hollywood which is not a big market size like Google this Friday.

I think this is why Netflix is going into games. Imo, Netflix may build some elements of Twitch (games) before it has elements of YouTube. Games market is huge!

Learned about how documents are uploaded in a service like Google drive / Dropbox to the database over the network.

Seeing AI being forced into everything which doesn't need AI or is not ready will cause people to not only lose trust but also wary of trying the tools if and when they're ready.

When something is useful/fun, people will go out of their way to use it. We have seen this play out enough times.

Apple is pausing notification summaries for news in the latest iOS 18.3 beta The BBC criticized the AI feature.

A lot of AI companies seem to be missing how people use or want to use AI tools.

AI tools today are fundamentally 'creativity' boosters. People have less tolerance for AI slop when it comes to emotional services like messages / emails or fact based services like news.

Season 2 first half is slow to the point where I thought of not watching it anymore. The second half picks up the pace a lot.

Severance season 2!

Last night Boston was colder than Iceland 🥶

TikTok ban can have some interesting knock on effects which powers to be are likely not thinking about.

The app installed on your current phone can work but not if you buy a new one. Will Apple sell fewer iPhones this quarter?

YT Shorts and Reels the only game in town or a new startup emerges?

sqlc generate is my favorite terminal command these days

Apple did a fantastic job marketing Apple Intelligence. They hacked the term 'AI', put billboards and ads everywhere, but every time I've tried to use it, the results have disappointed me.

Message replies are incorrect or flat, notifications summary is well... you can see for yourself below.

Doing some hands on keyboard coding at the start of the year and feeling rejuvenated already.
