Just like I did, you might have missed that GitHub now supports running GitHub Actions steps in parallel! Super helpful when some steps aren't very CPU intensive. For example, fetch frontend dependencies while the backend tests run.

Recession indicator: third email in one week suggesting that I create a coin or token to "sponsor" my open source projects.

The Design Museum in London is really cool - and free entry! Really recommend if you happen to be in west London. Lots of interesting gadgets in the shop as well.

Overdue for a feature release for my shell #golang module 🏃‍♂️

For any LLM sceptics out there. Russ is probably the most talented dev I've ever met.

The social aspect of @tangled.org would work better if I could see which people I follow are on there, as well as navigate trending repos in more detail, e.g. by language or timeframe. The site is getting there though!

📣 We have released #cuelang v0.18.0-alpha.1 - with a new CUE formatter, a new YAML encoding, experimental support for whole OpenAPI documents, and dozens of fixes 🎉

born to rebase, forced to merge

Gerrit seems to be an issue with AI transcripts 😆 Garret is being slow, Garret is down today, can you please look at Garret... Poor guy doesn't get a break.

I know it's not the biggest news of the day, but I just spotted this... One of Keir Starmer's last acts in Govt is this: Laying legislation that will legalise 'plug-in solar' (aka balcony solar) panels in Britain It means plug-in solar panels do not (legally) have to be wired in by an electrician.

GitHub Actions is down *again*. I can't do this anymore. What are people switching to? I need Linux+Mac+Windows support, GitHub or Gerrit integration, and all the usual: secrets, webhooks, logs, etc. For context, we already have scalable machines for all OSes via @namespacelabs.com.

📣 We have released #cuelang v0.17.0 - introducing module replaces, the `shortcircuit` language experiment, a new comprehension algorithm, and lots more 🎉

This is a fun one: I just sent go.dev/cl/790740, which elides method wrappers for embedded types at offset zero, common for mixins/inherited data types. Doing this removes 60 _thousand_ method wrappers from tsgo's AST package, dropping the compilation of our main exe from 49s to 28s on my machine.

🔥 Replaced the fixed Windows callback table in the #golang runtime with a growable design. No limits, smaller binaries, and ~6,000 lines of auto‑generated assembly gone. go.dev/cl/788700

It really does feel like GitHub is getting worse by the day. Now I regularly get bogus "invalid value" label errors when the label clearly exists and works.

It just dawned on me that "firm"ware is someplace between software and hardware.

Stared at my screen for a good while, not understanding why a git diff didn't git apply when it obviously should. Turns out Discord turns tabs into spaces when you send code snippets, even inside triple quotes 🙄 As a workaround, use git apply --ignore-whitespace.

The issue with GitHub Actions used to be its poor design. Nowadays it's down so often, that I don't even get to think about that at all.

PSA: Green Tea GC in go1.26 is incredible 🚀 This is what we saw for two big Go services. We'll try to gather more data and share it soon.

overdue for a gofumpt release, so I took the chance to close a bunch of issues too! #golang

Holy cheese my untyped composite literal proposal from 2015 just got accepted. #golang github.com/golang/go/is...

I'm officially looking around, if anybody needs a Go software engineer with a very strong background in web security lmk. I also know a fair share of frontend dev and was a SWE/SE for Google and Microsoft. I'm looking for security-sensitive dev projects and security reviews.

Compiler nerd joy: making some #golang switch statements ~2.5x faster ⚡ go.dev/cl/756340

I keep finding Semantic Line Breaks really useful for doc comments and markdown documentation - it really makes reading the plaintext so much nicer and shouldn't affect the rendered text in any way.

Come find us at our booth tomorrow!

1/ I've just published three orthogonal but related CUE proposals. #cuelang 🧵

I've just released a new version of the "sh" #golang module, including initial Zsh support in shfmt, as well as many improvements and fixes to the parser and interpreter 🎉

📣 We have released #cuelang v0.16.0 - introducing an experiment with `try` and `else`, big performance gains, lots of LSP work, and much more! 🎉

Finally! No more "dirty" #golang builds because you have untracked files laying around which don't affect the build at all :)

Front row seats to @kakkoyun.me's talk #FOSDEM

I'm at #FOSDEM all weekend! Ping me to talk #cuelang or #golang :)

This was really cool! Thanks @aendra.com and @davenash.com for organizing. And to @alex.bsky.team for fielding my questions!

@rog.bsky.social this sounds perfect for testing servers locally, especially with synctest 😊 github.com/golang/go/is...

📣 We have just released #cuelang v0.16.0-alpha.1 - packed with big performance gains, lots of LSP work, and many other improvements 🎉

Tonight's the night! We have a boatload of demos lined up and it's looking like we'll pack Newspeak House. We'll also have a quick informal show-and-tell at the start if you've found something interesting in the Atmosphere and want to share! See you there!

Type inferred composite literals in #golang might happen after all 👀

Interesting expansion of generics in #golang 👀

Needing to use GnuPG to decrypt one file after not using it for nearly ten years, and I'm reminded of why I stopped using it. And yup, I completely failed at decrypting the one file with a simple password. Twenty minutes of googling and doc reading after, I just feel like I'm losing my mind.

I'll be at #FOSDEM next week! Haven't been since 2014, which feels like a lifetime ago. If we have met or collaborated in the past, or you'd like to say hi, my DMs are open :) #golang #cuelang
