@gracicot @mattgodbolt Like many words in the English language, the meaning may be context dependent.

"I godbolted it" could mean:

  1. I threw it into Compiler Explorer
  2. I made the code super fast, like Matt Godbolt would have done
  3. I sent the code to Matt Godbolt for review

And it might mean all of these things simultaneously! What a beautiful and wonderful language 😊

It's been a month since the last release, but v0.22.0 of everyone's favorite linter, , is now out!

Featuring 3 new linter rules, language server support for code completion, and much more. Check out the release notes, and get your copy here!

https://github.com/StyraInc/regal/releases/tag/v0.22.0

@anderseknert In honor of this release, I'm reading some of your old posts. This really resonates with me: "Sometimes though, rather than having someone say 'here are all the ways you can do X', I just want someone more knowledgeable than me to tell me 'here’s the one way you should do X'. Having worked with OPA and Rego for years, I felt like perhaps I qualified as that knowledgeable person, and the Rego Style Guide came to be."

Thank you for the style guide & Regal! https://www.styra.com/blog/guarding-the-guardrails-introducing-regal-the-rego-linter/

Humans shape technology and technology shapes us. Beyond the drama of change, there lie great opportunities for humanity.

"It follows that whenever we gain a new talent, we not only change our bodily capacities, we change the world. The ocean extends an invitation to the swimmer that it withholds from the person who has never learned to swim. With every skill we master, the world reshapes itself to reveal greater possibilities."

"Surprisingly, our results show that women's contributions tend to be accepted more often than men's. However, when a woman's gender is identifiable, they are rejected more often. Our results suggest that although women on GitHub may be more competent overall, bias against them exists nonetheless."

“ The ingredients for conceptual integrity are these: the talent(s) of the human designer(s)—all of them; the thing designed; the luck that brought the designers (and everything they needed) to the right place(s) at the right time(s); the luck of the thing designed to have the right ingredients.”

@RuthMalan Good things in the world only exist because of a handful of people that fight hard for them to exist. Expertise is rare and often undervalued. I suppose it's because it takes some expertise to recognize it 🤔

AI = a massive spike in energy consumption and carbon emissions for the production of what is the intellectual equivalent of mechanically reclaimed meat, and yet it will be pursued by capitalists seeking to position themselves as a very small door with stiff hinges that is the only gateway to knowledge. It is nothing but a damaging power play dressed up as a benign service. 🐂💩

Insightful take about corporate contributions to open source, and whether IP is valuable:

"I’m sorry to be the one to have to break it to you, but most of the intellectual property that your company creates isn’t especially important and it’s certainly not business critical."

"What qualifies as critical intellectual property naturally varies by company and business, but you’ll probably know it when you see it."

"The enshittification of the services we once loved and still rely on represents a series of victories for the forces of evil over the forces of good – a victory for the people who want to use the internet to trap us, over the people who want to use the internet to set us free.

As it got harder for users to leave online services, it got easier to abuse users."

As engineers, it's easy for us to measure inputs (how much time we're spending) and outputs (lines of code written or features produced), but what really matters are the business outcomes (customers acquired and retained, revenue growth metrics, profitability), which are less directly related.

It's always useful for us to step back and ask ourselves: what's the point?

Contest cultures ("constantly prove you belong! Prove you're smart! Everything here is a dog eat dog competition!") tear people down under the guise of "toughness" and "identifying brilliance." In psych, we know this is destructive to long term sustainable work and mastery. We know it's systematically leveled at marginalized folks more.

These beliefs are at the heart of it all. This cannot be what we continue to let define who belongs in technical work and cultures.

Reading this while reflecting on "big rewrite" type projects in software is, well, ouch:

"His seminal work on big projects can be distilled into three pitiful numbers:

• 47.9% are delivered on budget.
• 8.5% are delivered on budget and on time.
• 0.5% are delivered on budget, on time and with the projected benefits."

I think the solution is simple, but not easy: smaller, more frequent deliveries. Progress over perfection.

A great preface to a great article:

"The naive approach to securing software is to blindly implement a checklist of security features. But a deeper understanding of security will quickly uncover that perfect security is impossible; you have to make trade-offs and prioritize the most likely scenarios."

Very few software projects are successful over long periods of time. I think one explanation is that it is very challenging to evolve systems in ways that respect the needs of new users ("better" approaches to things, temptation to make backwards-incompatible changes) and existing users (backwards-compatibility is a virtue.)

In this respect, I think about these talks often:

Looking through this list of libraries for working with JWTs, it seems that the highest-quality ones assume that keys are managed directly, instead of using a Vault, Cloud KMS, etc. to sign. This is true for Python and Go libraries at least. Why is that? https://jwt.io/libraries
