Principal Engineer/Tech Lead with about ~8YOE. I've been in enterprise/big tech as well as startups, last two positions are from SF and NY startups. I can code, do DevOps/Infra, lead teams, etc.
If you use twitter/X you probably saw me, feel free to throw me a DM there.
There's a great old book on this if someone wants to check it: Communicating Sequential Processes. From Hoare. Go channels and the concurrent approach was inspired on this.
I also wrote a blog post a while back when I did a talk at work, it's Go focused but still worth the read I think.

I've worked with WP in the past and while I'd rather choose something else from the tech perspective as someone who's dealt with clients of small (and large) businesses they just want something that works, and WordPress does.
It's not fancy and you will have to deal with a lot of horrible plugins that clients will want, or their marketing team, however from the product perspective it's an amazing technology - just like any that lasts 20 years in web dev IMO.
This isn't by any chance a defense of WP but before dunking on it think what else can you offer to a small business for the same price and functionalities.
I've been learning k8s this past weeks and the best thing so far has been the GUI elements coming from Docker Desktop. It might not make much sense for experts and at the end of the day you do have use the terminal and get comfortable with it.
However looking at the pods and checking their env vars has helped me a bit.
They stopped caring about what information you want to get and instead give you the information they think you should get. Sometimes it works, sometimes it's just awful.
Not to mention the constant pain that's localization/internationalization as well as some of the queries becoming worse and worse. The service is supposed to become better with time, not the contrary. Plus, of course, all the SEO garbage.
I have similar thoughts, and wrote an article called "death of reality"[0] (a bit dramatic I know). More and more of our identity is on the cyber space however all the tools allow more and more fakeness so we just make our own "digital persona", I don't think people are talking about this or noticing it enough. The last straw was with Samsung, unbelievable.
We can finally start an education and "testing" people's knowledge reform since GPT4 makes a lot of those tests irrelevant. It's an interesting point in history, how society, different institutions and countries will approach this new tool.

Full stack developer/software engineer with experience in multiple stacks/technologies (including devops and cloud) both working alone or with a team. I'm looking for something full time but I also do freelance/contract work depending on my availability.
My timeline has just been all about Musk, I hide posts and so on but it's no use. He wants to be the main character and people are giving him attention. It's annoying and I have not that much interest in it.
People hate on Mastodon but there you can actually find insightful content with hashtags and see what you want, I spent a good amount of time curating my twitter TL but I don't see much use in going there right now. I don't preach to just migrate to mastodon or other places but Twitter seems like it has run its course, for me at least, I hope it improves since there used to be a lot of great content from developers once you block/mute people playing the algorithm.
Additionally I'm getting DM requests all the time from bots, today alone I got 3, I don't understand what's happened.
