i'm tired of kubernetes :(

rage coding is not a great idea

just figured out the proper fix for a bug that had me fooled for 3 days. 3 mf'n days. had a hack in place, worked on some other changes and ended up figuring out what was wrong initially! moral of the story is never work on a managed Kubernetes service, for your own sanity

worst part of the job is all the last mile knobs you gotta shine for promotions. meh, pita

oh rust my dear friend

and we're live. such a simple API to use in Golang. it's a bit convoluted here (since i have an interface to support also writing to a boltDB).

next up is figuring out how to run it in a distributed setup.

realised i'm using an older version so upgrade to 7.x.x version

installing foundation db golang client library with the correct version

ah simple fix. the client and server versions have to match. just installed the matching versions, done deal

oh yeah, it's good stuff! pretty straightforward to use

vendors conference tbh. only reason i liked it was meeting up with folks i hadn't met in person

happened to me just yesterday. it remains undefeated

error messages from a go build trying to build an application with foundation db

okay, starting off my journey with errors! trying to use fdb from golang. looks like i need updated system libraries or something of that sort

i don't, the point is to learn :)

i've heard so! i'm excited to give it a spin

yep! i spent time wading through data science/machine learning then devops then backend engineering and ended up on systems software in networking. figured i enjoy the latest one and i’m happy to have holes in my knowledge elsewhere

okayyyyy, time to learn about foundation db. let’s get this show on the road

ah just a framework for building them, mostly to automate tasks i do on the regular. i haven’t really thought it through though! happy for ya unfiltered thoughts

my dear friend @xeiaso.net, i’m sure you have ✨ answers ✨

okay folks, if i want to start playing around with AI agents, where do i start?

lost a good 24 hours to forgetting about the differences between make calls and using the top one vs the bottom one. golang can be fun

i think staying relevant as an software eng in the world of ai basically has three paths: focus on operations (SRE type work), move down lower in the stack where AI has less domain knowledge (currently) i.e embedded computing/compilers/proxies/etc or become very very good at product.

just asked my question on there in the datafusion channel :)

Most of my promotions were based on my ability to attach my work to the metrics below. Working at a major cloud provider made this a lot easier because we tracked everything. It largely comes down to earning and sharing the credit across different teams including engineering, product, and sales.

woah, that's pretty epic! also monodraw is amazing if you haven't used it/got it yet

awesome, just joined! thank you

major long shot but @andygrove.io, i would be super grateful if i could get some help or pointed in the right direction with some weird (but i believe simple, i'm just a newbie) issue i keep running into with querying parquet files. something to do with thrift types i believe

any of y'all know anyone working on Apache Thrift (in Rust) or know where they hang out?? got questions

i need to go outside
