Published 2 new libraries to aid #Zig ⚡️adoption in #CloudNative ecosystem: 1. yaml.zig: github.com/inge4pres/ya... YAML 1.2.2 parser, needed in k8s/OTel land to parse all sorts of configurations 2. k8s.zig: github.com/inge4pres/k8... Very barebone #kubernetes client

Thrilled to announce that the first release of the #Zig ⚡ #OpenTelemetry SDK is out! 🚀 github.com/zig-o11y/ope... Use it, file bugs and share feedback on the GitHub repo!

New blog post is out: "#Zig is great for Observability" 4pr.es/qH_EoHNh My thesis: it is time for O11y ecosystem to consider Zig as relevant due to its characteristics. Shameless plug at the end of the post: we're building an #OpenTelemetry SDK for Zig, github.com/zig-o11y/ope... Check it out!

Never in the history of programming it’s been so important to know when to use Shift+Enter. #software #engineering #ai

Last saturday I went to ZigDay, an entire day dedicated to learning/experimenting with Zig!! I wrote a short journal here -> marcobacis.dev/blog/2025-se... Thanks to Coding Bunker (www.codingbunker.it) and in particular to @inge.4pr.es , @omissis.dev and @kristoff.it, for the day!

Profile.

I am not an #AI expert, but I stumbled on this paper and it seems like a nice breakthrough. arxiv.org/pdf/2506.21734 Essentially, throwing away the current state of the art based on transformers and modeling a different type of interaction between the layers of the NN. Pretty interesting 👌🏻

#AWS just killed my startup idea with this preview launch of S3 Vector aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/in... Introducing Amazon S3 Vectors: First cloud storage with native vector support at scale

#neovim Development News The 0.12 version will start to use Zig language to build Neovim itself. This should improve overall Neovim development and should not have visible effect on users. Thanks, @bfredl.bsky.social! PRs (so far): - github.com/neovim/neovi... - github.com/neovim/neovi...

This is a great interview. Kent Beck talks to @gergely.pragmaticengineer.com about how he's having more fun programming now with AI genies than he's had in ages. Also: the birth of Extreme Programming. newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/tdd-ai-age...

Second public contribution to #opentelemetry #Zig SDK just landed! Thanks to Hendrik Nieladaer for fixing a bug 🙏 github.com/zig-o11y/ope...

Memory Safety Features in #Zig ｢ This approach ensures that errors cannot be accidentally ignored. Every error must be explicitly handled or propagated, which dramatically reduces the likelihood of unhandled error conditions causing memory corruption ｣ gencmurat.com/en/posts/mem...

Seems like the ideal place with the perfect weather to host heat-generating machines. #sustainabilty

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.

#Zig std library find of the day: PriorityQueue ⚡️ github.com/ziglang/zig/... This is a type-generic, ordered queue that allows polling the most recent item first. It has an Iterator too! 👍 Very handy to serialize operations.

For those interested in using jj to contribute to Go, please check out @prattmic.com's blog post below. It's not a general jj tutorial, but will help you with the Gerrit specific pieces. pratt.im/notes/jj-go-...

I have two books here, on high dimensional statistics and high dimensional probability. I am specifically looking for a book that treats intuition around high-dimensional geometry, as I have a lot of high-dimensional polytopes to reason about. Can anyone recommend anything?

TIL that in #Zig std lib there's a convenient std.heap.stackFallBack function, building an allocator that is backed by a fixed array of memory or falling back to a second allocator when the array allocation fails. Sweeeeet 🧠 ziglang.org/documentatio...

I have recently use Pixlr to edit an AI-generated image, and I have to say it's a good service for the price pixlr.com/it/editor/

If you want to learn and practice #Zig, meet other ziglers ⚡ and build software you can love, you can't miss the Zig Day event we've set up in Milan for May 17th. zig.day/europe/milan...

Join the team that's changing computing forever! oxide.computer/careers

Il primo Zig Day di Milano si terra' il 17 Maggio vicino a Porta Garibaldi. L'evento consiste in una giornata intera dedicata alla programmazione collaborativa (quindi non aspettatevi talk), come descritto qui: kristoff.it/blog/zig-day/ Invito: www.meetup.com/it-IT/coding...

Someone is profiting from the massive market sell off caused by US tariffs. Someone surely knew the effect they would cause to #stocks, and I wish investigations will be done on politicians and their acolytes.

Creating and managing #Kubernetes clusters on latest AWS EKS is a nightmare 😒 Addons crashing, confusing node configurations, over-complicated IAM model for workloads. Trivial to do better, not surprised GKE is gaining a lot of market shares.

Huge thanks to the first community contribution to #OpenTelemetry #Zig SDK! github.com/zig-o11y/ope... This updates the project to Zig 0.14, the latest stable version 🚀

Dang they're on top of things, beat me to filing this 😅 github.com/golang/go/is...

Writing these words from the first Linux kernel ever booted on x86_64 by a pure Go UEFI bootloader! Pro debugging technique: listening to CPU noises to attest boot flow progress while Frame Buffer issues made everything dark 😅.

#Zig 0.14 is released! ziglang.org/download/0.1...

This talk by Andrew Kelly on Data Oriented Design is a must watch for all #software engineers youtu.be/IroPQ150F6c

This website shows how #LLM work internally, pretty cool 😎 bbycroft.net/llm
