Oh so Go took inspiration from C# for public and private class variables (package level) for convention of PascalCase but skipped the type naming as private or public. Really easy to mess up that... cannot rely on just people's eyes for figuring out based on case. Or I am dumb

Ok I am dumb. It makes the language simple. but it does leave a hole..a long hour of finding the error was capital name of the function

taggart-tech.comI used AI. It worked. I hated it.I used Claude Code to build a tool I needed. It worked great, but I was miserable. I need to reckon with what it means.

I think we are a few months away from people realizing, oh shit this is crap code! We need some people who can understand this? What are those called? oh the people that get paid for editing text on the screen! I thought they were dead

Was a bit curious, a bit overwhelmed. Sat down, made and then wrote about it(8k words by the way, new ath, no ai was harmed in the process) What do you think? www.meetgor.com/posts/flight...

AI labs ceo predicting the number of months away from the developer free world is like a developer giving an estimate for his task. "It will be done in 2 week, probably" maybe*

Cursor doesn't count the non-interactive actions while working inside the agent. Wow! What a shame. Vibe coded perhaps. I don't manually accept diffs, they're already there, so i just read as it hives the green red background more info if i accept it i forget. Sigh!

Here goes the 2025 year into the past A quite revolutionary year for software development, it just changed the way I thought about software. It leaves us with a gazillion things to learn #2025wrap meetgor.com/2025-review

29 Dec 2025

Wow! I read 6 books in 2024 and in 2025? 23 Couldn't have been a better year. I have thoughts on why I read like a monster! I want to sit and write about each book, i have notes and couldn't put more words for the feelings these authors have written

- Toshikazu Kawaguchi The sweet tales of time travelling cafe are so wonderful and almost gives a cope(escapism) from the world yet puts you on the path to still walk for your people. Such a beautiful blend of reality and fiction. I can't believe I read 5 books in a series

29 Dec 2025

- Rohinton Mistry I wanted diwali vibes indian stories, thought not quite i wanted, but the mood, the nostalgia and the emotion was all I needed. The book had put me in questions that no one ever can. The perspective of a family is not confided in four walls but four relations

Some authors have stood out to me these year that I would be forever grateful for - Ami Ganatra Ramayana, Mahabharata, she bought facts, relatable views and modern day links to the tale, all 3 books are like gateway drug to indian mythology. I now need to read the actual legends

Wrapped the Advent of SQL 2025 in SQLite Thanks @aaronfrancis.com for the dope quality teaching and explanaitons and @Kelsey Petrich for the lovely lore behind each puzzle. I blogged about it for all 15 days www.meetgor.com/series/adven...

And many naunced things that I think are quite lame to share it. But anyways, I loved these problems, the soptify wrapped like artists problem was sooooo good. I actually felt I understood and solved something really cool, something real! The missing dates, so many cool problems!

Really a huge shoutout to @aaronfrancis.com for teaching it enthusiastically, its contagious! Can't wait to add more to my sqlog series, diving deeper into SQLite. The lore in the problems was epic! I am inspired to create something like that!

4. Window Functions (like groups but more customizable) 5. Generating series of dates in SQLite using recursive CTE 6. Using json functions to extract list and key-value pairs from json string 7. CTEs in SQLite cannot have DELETE or INSERT queries (sigh! ruined day 10 solution)

8. Calculating rolling averages with sliding window using window functions 9. Full text search in SQLite 10. Counting the number of occurrences of a word in a string 11. Recursive CTEs to traverse a network like path

I completed a advent challenge for the first time (it was just 15 days, I feel happy and sad about that) But I am mostly happy and content with the things I learnt and got to do in SQL. I know can confidently say, I know the bare minimum SQL!

What all did I learn? 1. JOINs (the crucial difference in lift, right and inner join) 2.CTE and Subquery (those are the same things, CTEs help you to reuse and name it as sub-query) 3. UNION and UNION ALL (why even have union all hhh?)

Streamed regularly in the first half of 2025, then somehow lost the consistency in the 2nd half. Looking forward to coming back on stream in december.
