we all use “luddite” these days to describe someone who is reflexively anti-technology. but the original luddites were specifically against technology eliminating jobs and reducing pay in exchange for cheaper, inferior goods

Ian Lance Taylor deserves an award for the most patient person in Open Source.
He also has an amazing ability to translate the clarity of his thinking into the written word.
He has had such impact on the way people create software.
I really hope he continues to contribute to Go.

weak.Pointer (Go 1.24+), runtime.AddCleanup (Go 1.24+), and sync.Map combine wonderfully into a 20-lines weak map. #golang
It associates values to keys, with automatic garbage collection once the key becomes unreachable. Using it to tie precomputed FIPS keys to PrivateKey values we can't modify.

If your app dispays text that can't be interacted with as text, I hate you with every fiber of my being.

Programming with the help of an AI-powered coding assistant (like GitHub Copilot) is akin to pair programming with someone eager to impress, not particularly bright, and who won't shut up. Count me out. 🙅

Terminals or at least "ttys" are not modern. They are a chimera merging disparate properties of VGA, HDLC, and good old teletypes. I know I'm in the minority and always have been, but to me they are an anchor holding us back in our tech lives.
Your phone does not have a terminal.

Sure
"Can you automatically import it into a Google sheet?"
Never going to happen, literally impossible

Using generics and iterators in #golang feels like they've always been here. Just like I struggle to remember what I even did before modules.

Since I haven't been writing code full time professionally, I sometimes worry that I've lost a step.
Then someone comments about how they don't like #golang at a wedding reception and I instinctively reply "Oh yea? What do you use? Rust? Fuck off." and I know I've still got it.

In 2022, I left Google in search of a sustainable approach to open source maintenance. A year later, I was a full-time independent maintainer.
Today I’m announcing the natural progression of that experiment: Geomys, a small firm of professional maintainers with a portfolio of critical Go projects.
