This always reminds me of Ari Bach's Valhalla series passage on units of measurement:

Will do next time 😂

Nasa uses metric... 😂

My guess for the former is that, especially for the stdlib, it would be super easy to end up with all programs transitively importing massive chunks of code just to do the most basic tasks. So this had to be done.

The latter is probably just for convenience.

Very few people know that the Go standard library has an internal DSL used to make sure that no new intra-stdlib dependencies are added when a change happens:

And we will *definitely* have to clean it up.

This is all going to be such a mess to clean up...

My entire career is fueled by anger towards the web platform

Have a hierarchy of formats and pick the best, if the format is the same, bitrate, if that is also the same roll a dice.

Don't we all?

The first word that my eldest daughter read in her life is "Go", from one of my @golab.io t-shirts 😂. I guess having a language with a simple name has its nice quirks.

It is dismaying to see how often people are willing to sacrifice the very principle a rule was created to protect, just to ensure the rule they understood is enforced.

I just found the best use for AI: you can give it a recipe that uses units of measurement that come from the middle ages or the US and ask it to translate it to contemporary units.

But... Why... 😂

Also, how long does it take to process the http package?

Today I achieved greatness: I managed to make a thin omelette on a stainless steel pan; none stuck and it was cooked to perfection.

It's not much, but it's extremely satisfying.

Does widespread browser implementation of the Sec-Fetch-Site HTTP header mean we can protect against CSRF attacks without needing those hidden form tokens? It looks like the answer may be a cautious "yes"! simonwillison.net/2025/Oct/15/...

Build your own ResponseWriter: safer HTTP in Go Go's `http.ResponseWriter` writes directly to the socket, which can lead to subtle bugs like forgetting to set a status code or accidentally modifying headers too late. In this article I explain how t...

proposal: all: add bare metal support · Issue #73608 · golang/go Proposal Details This proposal follows updates on the TamaGo project, which brings bare metal execution for Go on AMD64, ARM and RISCV64 targets. While similar proposals (see #37503 and #46802) hav...

Go on bare metal and no os-specific code, would love for this to be accepted.

I'd call this approach "vibe fuzzing".

This will give you a lot more confidence in your code and will allow you to find very niche bugs that would be very hard to find with conventional testing.

Every bug you find in the AI code you ask the AI to fix, and you carefully fix yours.

The AI code will quickly become a fever dream/garbage fire, but you don't care since it's not code you'll ever run in prod.

The big advantage is that it's very likely to have bugs that are different from yours.

The best fuzzing is, in fact, differential fuzzing. The issue is that you rarely have a reference implementation for your problem.

This is where AI comes in.

You vibe code the alternative implementation and you leave it in your tests, to compare against yours.

I think I found an excellent use for vibe coding.

If you're writing complex code with many branches, nuances or that processes untrusted inputs, you should really invest time fuzzing it.

The problem with fuzzing is that it yields the best results when you can write strong assertions on the results

As we discussed today, Sec-Fetch-Site should do most of the work for us 😊

I still have to change its color, dammit XD
