Just needed to change a Go data structure from a map[sometype]map[string]FooStruct to a []FooStruct where the new structure contains the keys from that map.

Described what I needed and @GitHub Copilot Edits did all of the work for me.

Hello 🦋

Happy to see many familiar faces around. Wasn't easy to find all of you (I probably missed many), so I created a starter pack to make it easier to (re)connect and nerd out about distributed systems, programming languages, and container stuff. Let me know who I missed!

Which is funnier: the proposal to add .ʕ◔ϖ◔ʔ as a new, alternate extension for .go files, or the fact that some people took it seriously?

Mine was a TRS-80 Model III. I had so much fun with that computer.

Congrats to my pal @rmondello.com who not only gave us 2FA autofill on iOS but has also championed brining passkeys to the world. Google rolling this out is huge. https://www.wired.com/story/google-passkey-password-replacement/amp
Google Is Rolling Out Password-Killing Tech to All Accounts
The tech industry’s transition to passkeys gets its first massive boost with the launch of the alternative login scheme for Google’s billions of users.

I’ve been working on understanding and building technology that empowers users my whole career, so bluesky is designed that if you don’t like it, you can leave with your connections and data. I encourage you to try one of the 3P clients and self-organize to run your own server soon.

Oh no. A new social network and now I need a catchy first post.

Dammit, I've already blown it, haven't I?
