I was so excited for my first #gopherconUK yesterday and between sessions of eating great food, I had the chance to learn about the new green tea garbage collector, weak pointers and some new Go 1.25 changes (thanks to @mvdan.cc and Sam Buns). Did I mention the food was great? #golang

A reminder for #golang folks joining Bluesky - here's a starter pack of contributors to the Go project!

I was wondering how do I go about finding my own people on Bluesky but then I found these starter packs github.com/stevendborre... and now I can’t stop. Interesting moment for me to realize #observability being listed under systems engineering. My identity search as a software engineer continues:)

I’m fortunate to have a call with the Bluesky backend team for an hour a week, and I’m continually blown away at how good they are at engineering their systems, how thoughtful they are about protocol design, and how smoothly they’ve been handling a huge influx of new users. Seriously impressive
