Nothing has improved my view of society more than having a child.
Everywhere you go, there are people entertaining the baby, helping you carry the stroller, encouraging you to skip lines. Today the little guy waved at a garbage truck, so they stopped and waved back.

Not a day goes by without me hearing "I asked ChatGPT about X" from a non-technical person here in Serbia. My sister's entire friend group hasn't used anything else this entire year.
If I was the CEO of Google I would cry myself to sleep for losing the consumer market that easily.

Retired my 2017 MacBook Pro and got a snappy M4 Air, my 4th Mac in 15 years (thanks to one being stolen in 2016).
Loving the webcam, battery life and fingerprint reader. The Apple logo no longer glowing is just sad though.

Many improvements in today's Tailwind v4.0 release.
To me Tailwind is the definition of an acquired taste. First used it in the v1.4 era (mid-2020) expecting to confirm my vague dislike for it, but ended up falling in love with its practicality. And nowadays it feels pretty ubiquitous.

My other big workflow improvement of 2024 has been daily use of Claude, mostly as a replacement for Google, which is now less helpful than AltaVista was back when I got my first PC.
Claude lies to me sometimes, but it is extremely good at getting a random error message and proposing next steps.

Some people criticize Go's iterators for being too complex, but I am already falling in love with the stdlib APIs built on top of them.
Look at this:
ids := slices.Sorted(maps.Keys(myMap))
Used to be 5 lines of code.

Can't believe I will finally see omitzero. I can remove more than a few workarounds now for handling time.Time, currency.Amount, others.
That and "go tool" are my favorite improvements this release.

These license changes change the entire social contract around infra software.
Can I install your software via dnf/apt? No, distributions no longer package it cause it's not open source.
Can I run it on shared hosting or a fancy PaaS? No, cause every hoster is now considered exploitative.

It's sad to see antirez defending the Redis license change, now that he's back at Redis Labs.
A lot of damage was done to the entire industry in order to try and extract an extra dollar from Amazon and Google. Which predictably ended up being a losing strategy, a blessed fork appeared immediately.

Always thought that it's ironic how the USA has the worst tasting Coca Cola, thanks to their use of HFCS instead of sugar.
Now they're adding more and more HFCS to Serbian Coke as well, and it's very noticeable, so I guess it's time to kill my one-can-a-week habit.

When I was a kid internet cafes were all the rage in Serbia. You'd pay by the hour to play LAN games on their computers.
The one my friends and I liked going to was in a basement below a pizza place.
20 years later, if a pizza smells just right, it immediatelly makes me think of Quake 3.

Google Pub/Sub supports message validation using protobuf schemas, but it does not support imports, meaning no Well Known Types such as google.protobuf.Timestamp and google.protobuf.Any. The last one can't be replaced by an inline message type, since protoc special cases its logic. Deal breaker.

I am always surprised this package isn't more used, considering just how popular its PHP cousin (github.com/commerceguys...) is.

My 2016 MBP is on its last legs, which means that next year I finally get to upgrade to an M-series Mac. I do most of my work on a company-issued ThinkPad so the Mac can be less beefy, but I still don't know if I should go for an M4 Air (once released) or an entry-level Pro.
