gopls references works really well for finding unused identifiers, like fields in a dependency struct that aren't used anymore. Is there a less hacky way to do this than writing a wrapper that loops through each field and calls gopls references with the line and column?

My time at @golab.io came with heavy jet lag. But leave it to @goinggo.net to close out and make it feel like you had three espressos. An immersive talk on the Go trace tool provided a sharp intuition for balancing concurrency in light of the garbage collector with respect to CPU vs. memory.

The biggest surprise at @golab.io was a talk by Nate Smith. He explored Go as a medium for creative expression, sharing art made with code. It was moving, opening a world I hadn’t seen in years; a rare fusion of craft and art, perfectly fitting for a presentation in Italy.

Excellent breakdown of the new optimized sync.Mutex spin behavior implementation by Raiza Claudino at @golab.io. Loved the Go concurrency visualizations.

Totally agree! Naming is hard, but getting names right can dramatically improve software design, as often one thing leads to another. #golang

Excited to be giving my talk at @golab.io this year! It's a distilled set of lessons from maintaining a large Go codebase with hundreds of contributors. Over time, I've gone from dismissing my comments as nitpicky to realizing they're essential for writing maintainable and safe production Go code.

Asked my colleague if their GitHub "retro theme" was a Chrome extension. Turns out it's just high contrast mode. Retro is a good sell.

I've been looking into improving our team and platform wiki. Turns out a lot of the prior art in Confluence looks like something lifted straight from early-2000s HTML: three columns, each packed with tables of links. I can't decide if I feel more nostalgic or horrified.

Anyone else keeping permanently closed places in their Google Maps saves? I know that bar or restaurant isn't reopening but I can't delete it... pure nostalgia until I'm actually trying to find a place to eat.
