and we're live. such a simple API to use in Golang. it's a bit convoluted here (since i have an interface to support also writing to a boltDB).

next up is figuring out how to run it in a distributed setup.

ah simple fix. the client and server versions have to match. just installed the matching versions, done deal

okay, starting off my journey with errors! trying to use fdb from golang. looks like i need updated system libraries or something of that sort

lost a good 24 hours to forgetting about the differences between make calls and using the top one vs the bottom one. golang can be fun

some nice goodies in the @oxide.computer update. linked to one of their blog posts i missed, with some neat facts! link in thread

can't recommend yazi enough. if you like living in your terminal, it's an incredible file manager for it.

haven't written any complex Rust in a while, only to come back to this 🥲. i love Rust but sometimes i get types fatigue

another victory for the rewrite it in rust task force. but fr, i particularly like this write up because it talks about trade-offs, how to incrementally get to the finish line and most importantly, that rust is not perfect. great read (link below)

some neat goodies you get over at fly.io. and even though i'm biased (i work here), one of my favourite bits of fly.io is the design language, so good.

oh man, Rust is coming for it all. Rewrite it in Rust task force doing bits

wrote my first lines of zig today (sorry my fellow rustaceans). so far, not much to report back on. i do miss the rust guard rails though

You can’t always use the right tool for the job. Technology is an inherently social endeavour

“There’s no such thing as a perfect design” is something I’ve been internalizing lately. Not all software is created to be a masterpiece, most of the time it just has to be good enough.
