    As programmers, we write parsers all the time, but handling parser errors well tends to fall by the wayside. Here's a quick blog post with some high-level observations on how to deal with parse errors well:

    I am impressed by testing approach, breadth, methodology and investment: It's very important that there are OSS projects that set such examples. There is always something to improve, but I think nobody will object that that's good level of testing

    MicroVMs as an isolation boundary is probably what we needed all along. Truly “lightweight” VMs in the way containers can never be Containers never solved the “isolation” problem. Isolation wasn’t quite a problem in the VM ecosystem. Containers *introduced* it as a problem.

    Log4j is the original sin that dooms (almost) all logging libraries I’ve worked with in different language ecosystems.

    There was one talk I really could not find either the video or the slides for. It’s from cocemesh London and I believe it’s the only talk on Fastly’s wasm compiler. I suspect it’d have gone on the list too, but alas, I have no idea what the content was about! 😞

    I can read (and write) a long-ish article, but watching a 50 min talk happens rarely (and the content needs to be really, really good). I’ve myself never gotten comfortable with public speaking. The only good argument in *favor* of public speaking has been this from

    Kind of suspect if VCs were “technical enough”, the fundraising scene would look drastically different than it does now. Also suspect replying on which schools founders went to or if they worked for a big company in the past is just as effective as it is for hiring engineers.

    Almost everything I see/hear about huge pages in Linux lend credence to why it's probably never to be used. Is there any particular scenario where it actually helps? Genuine question.

    I’ve reached the age when the best form of self care is regular exercise. No matter how tired or stressed or anxious I feel, working out makes me feel happier and more positive.

    To be fair, there are things not to like about Go. But I’d argue these weren’t ever significant enough to impede productivity or usability.

    Go has quite a lot of things going for it all right: - blazingly fast builds (I miss this the most) - I can open a file of Go code and almost always understand what it’s doing - usable concurrency - static binaries that allowed for easy deployment What’s not to like?

    Writing is the hardest part of the job, yet somehow, Rebecca Isaacs, Austin Parker, and I have managed to finish writing a book about Distributed Tracing. Publication later this year. You should all be _very_ excited 😀.

    Yep this is the book I’ve been reading. If the first three chapters are anything to go by: - very fascinating stuff. Will read in full when it’s released. - a lot of it isn’t very applicable to orgs that don’t have the same philosophy/machinery that Google has (monorepo)

    Tweet brought to you because I’m reading some chapters from the new book on how software engineering is done at Google (think of it as the SWE version of the SRE book, each chapter authored by someone different) and the first thing it talks about is java builds lol.

    One of the most surprising aspects of my career so far has been the fact that in all these years as a professional software engineer, I’ve never written a single line of Java or had to deal with the JVM ecosystem (sans running Kafka at a previous job). Long may this be the case.

    I graduated with some understanding of how to code/build systems, but with huge gaping voids in my knowledge (no idea about proper testing, debugging, deployment, monitoring etc). Some books downright ruined the subject for me (the dragon book and compilers, for instance).

    I find learning about data structures inspiring when I know the real world context in which it’s used. I never felt inspired reading CLRS in college. In fact, I enjoy it more now when I open the book out of curiosity than because I have to finish up an assignment.
