Pretty much. I gave it some Go coding tasks, same with Claude 3.7, 4 and qwen3-4b-2507 (not really in the same league) - it never completely fulfilled the tasks, but came close, around 70-80% of what was asked. Claude 4 did with no problem. I'd put it with 3.7 or Qwen3 (which did surprisingly well)

Turkey is great! Quality is terrible

FULL OPENTELEMETRY = 81% PERFORMANCE DROP

P99 latency jumped from 26ms → 104ms

Before you reach for distributed tracing, ask: Do you need traces or just metrics?

The Itch/Steam thing dropped off the trending tab.

Therefore it's time to remind you again to swamp the payment processors with more calls.

If the call volume dies down in under a week they aren't going to learn their lesson. Make them regret it.

fun news! I was laid off from Twilio.

going to take this weekend to chill out, and will start looking for roles next week.

if you or someone you know is looking for staff/principal level Developer Advocacy, OSPO, dev infra, or similar roles pass them along!

reposts from tech folks appreciated <3

Tunic was wonderful!

Reminder that @bookshop.org exists, meaning you don't have to use the fascist online everything store, at least for books, in most cases.

Go features by version Which major features appeared in which versions of Go.

I've updated the list of Go features by version.

Now, each feature has ➀ a link to the documentation, ➁ a link to the proposal, and ➂ a link to the commits.

It's fascinating to see how Go has changed over the years.

Ugh, one of the only competent ME/CFS practitioners in Canada (Dr. Ric Arseneau) has to massively reduce the scope of his practice to pracatically nothing because of changes to what services MSP (BC's health care system) allows him to bill. This is bad.

As in literally. Many of the most important technical contributions have come from LGBTQ+ contributors.

We haven't always done right by them but there's no doubt they are loved.

Good luck SREs, I hope this is over quickly, and the post-mortems are safe, supportive and productive.

Friends! @roguelike.club isn't going to have enough money to pay for live captioning this year unless we get a major uptick in donations/sponsorships.

We've been working with our captioner Maggie since 2017 (she was there in-person!). It'd kill me to have to stop.

You're right, getting anything from Robson now seems... not possible? Not sure what's going on there, I have 2 machines with them, but they're from many years ago... I think I should re-evaluate this choice and look for a different local provider.
