Coffee, Metallica, and perfboard soldering is peak 5 am ritual.

Writing an ssh based tool in go has been quite a fun time.

The use case is simple but something I’ve found myself wishing I had on every team I’ve worked on

Left: Bertram Gilfoyle - spiritual convert and (somewhat) less cynical

Right: Elliot Anderson - rehabilitated and takes his meds

changing the world by leveraging zero-trust, edge-native SSH tunneling with post-quantum-forward secrecy to revolutionize how secrets transcend multi-cloud boundaries

The caveat is that I rarely expect this to be the solution for production systems unless I’m committed to maintaining it. It’s purely for learning. I think about how I’d solve the problem, build a POC, then go see how it’s done by other tools.

I build first. I never go look for an existing tool unless the problem isn’t interesting to me. If it’s even slightly interesting I build first. This is because I want to learn something about that problem space.

I can’t count how many times I’ve been told “but xyz does this already”. Yeah, and?

My new excuse when my PR doesn’t immediately get the lgtm.

Haha very slow and a whole week to just filling out permission request workflows! It’s a different lifestyle for sure

from startup to large corporation...idk if me likey

Being unemployed sucks.

Being unemployed for 2 weeks before starting a new gig? Dope.

Thanks for the feedback doods! Will give these some investigation

Curious how many people are using Makefiles in their go projects. I personally love this approach because of the power of Makefiles. However, I’m curious if there’s better, go-centric tools out there.

In college the first non-coursework Java code I wrote was to count how many “fucks” were actually in that fucked up rhyme after my best friend and I were drunk trying to count it and kept getting it wrong.

#freddurst didn’t lie. There’s 46

#limpbizkit #hotdog

Sucks you didn’t get it but it makes me feel better it’s not just me 😆. My last one was “real world” problem so I studied a bunch of web stuff since they basically just do a bunch of api services. I got a BST problem! I got to a solution, albeit bad. I was not prepared for that haha

On the upside, I did make final round for another gig that does pay more and has a lot more stability and growth. Just not a #golang gig, back to Java

Getting rejected during the technical interview sucks.

I should’ve studiedDS&A, I was told it would be “real world” but it wasn’t. That’s on me for not studying up first.

Lesson learned. now we study

didn't get the job... bummer

Was looking a nice mini pc. Picked up a Beelink SER8 on the recommendation from a buddy. Got a fresh Ubuntu install on and it’s super nice. Gonna run this thing through the ringer but I’m really digging it so far for a small, portable desktop machine

Dude, super cool!

Thanks for the feedback!

What’re your thoughts on retrying coding interview problem for a better solution and sharing with the interviewers post-interview?

I knew I could do better than I did in the interview so I did it this morning.
Not sure it’s a good idea though to do cold out reach to share though?

2 irons burning now! One is not Go but rather Scala and Akka.

Feeling confident. Not to find my patience

doods! this is super cool!

interview went well...now the painful waiting to hear back

thanks!

I truly believe AI will be a phenomenal tool to go fast. But my goal is always to be the best engineer I can be. You can’t do that without understanding the principles on which you are building.

Just because you put someone behind the wheel of an F1 doesnt mean they’re now qualified to drive.

I don’t buy it. I leverage it as a rubber ducking companion and for new ideas on a problem. But my time is typically focused on learning how systems are built at a fundamental level. Using AI to just build these would diminish the point of the exercise.
