The extreme intellectual dishonesty around AGI/ASI on social media is insane. I'd like to be hopeful that technology continues to improve lives, but so much of the pushback on skepticism is willingly obtuse

Obligatory "green squares aren't everything," but it's a sign (mostly to myself) that I'm keeping productive and staying on top of things. I'm well over 20% of the way to what I did in 2024 (in not even a month) and almost 10% of the way to my best (2022). It's going to be a good year.

Completely forgot, but last Friday was the two year anniversary of getting my first job in tech. It took tons of grinding, applying everywhere, and probably some wasted effort, but I’m glad I got this far!

Really wishing I finished refactoring my work project before everyone got back from the holidays. I have a bad feeling there’s no free lunch when it comes to everyone ignoring their inboxes for two weeks

I want to finally level up and begin using Go as my preferred API language.
I’ve created a template on my GitHub that I’m going to constantly update as I learn more about the language. Check it out!

In this project, I’ve implemented:
- Caching
- Message queues
- Cronjobs
- Tailwindcss
Either more completely or for the first time altogether. This is a level-up project if I’ve ever seen one
