As you do #AdventOfCode this year - or any year - try to judge your own progress not by how many stars you have, but instead by how many things you learned.


Who is looking forward to #AdventOfCode tomorrow?

When people complain about error handling in Go it strikes a nerve. Make things easy to understand not easy to do. Yes, error handling can feel tedious at times, but it’s one of the most important aspects of the code you’re writing. So embrace and appreciate the moment.


"If you don't trust my judgement we've got way bigger problems."

The longer I do this the less likely I am to ever be employable again. It turns out that most companies don't accept "because I said so" as a justification, and that's increasingly becoming a hard bar for me. If you don't trust my judgement we've got way bigger problems.

The nice part about a monolith is it’s only one box on an architecture diagram.


"Don't reimplement locks" is advice I didn't expect to find in "Go in Practice". Have to say reimplementing a fundamental part of the language had never crossed my mind. But I now feel I need to go and look at the implementation... #golang
