Bad actors looking at all the non-technical people jumping into OpenClaw/Moltbot/Clawdbot right now

Writing code is now cheap. Software Engineering remains the actual skill. Know the difference. Make decisions accordingly.

Starting 2 weeks ago, I started receiving non-trivial amounts of cold emails and DMs by (non-spam) recruiters again. Anecdotal but is the #tech job market conditions starting to improve a bit?

I'm teaching #golang and #ai in a few months. Biggest challenge will be keeping the content up to date by the time the conference comes around 😅

That's a great post @deadprogram.com. Using curl and seeing the JSON-RPC payloads makes things quite clear without having to read the entire MCP spec first.

If you're a Senior+ Software Engineer today, you're among the last of your kind. Think about that for a minute.

The struggle is real.

🥳 Go 1.24.0 is released! 📰 Release notes: go.dev/doc/go1.24 📦 Download: go.dev/dl/#go1.24.0 #golang

There's going to be a point where we, as hiring managers, have to make a deliberate choice to hire Junior-level people onto our teams with the goal of leveling them up. How else will we develop the next generation of software engineering leaders in the age of #ai?

Had such a great time teaching #golang at #GopherConSG

With so much hype around replacing human software engineers with #ai, I doubt the companies looking to sell that dream will ever reveal the costly failures that sometimes come with being an early adopter. It's not in their best interest to say the tech is not there yet.

Cozy coding session by the fire (with a 🥃). #TheWinterCoder

Reached that time of year where I've started decluttering for the new year, including unsubscribing to newsletters I thought I'd have time to read and deleting bookmarks of blogs I never go to.
