The most recent one I learned about the hard way was module caching using the Go proxy while building several microservices for a side project. Because it&rsquo;s a side project, a lot of the planning has been done on a whiteboard and by writing shitty throw away code before implementing anything useful. /posts/2024/07/git-index/ Wed, 17 Jul 2024 15:52:22 -0700 /posts/2024/07/git-index/ TL;DR Be careful how file path values are written to the git index because they can be set to any value (not just filenames) if you&rsquo;re manipulating the index manually instead of with git. I created a repo with all the code snippets to make things easier to follow instead having of digging through my project with of unrelated application logic. Project I was working on a Go project recently that needed to interact with a git repo that took me down a very unexpected, but interesting, rabbit hole. /posts/2024/07/go-application-version/ Mon, 08 Jul 2024 14:40:23 -0700 /posts/2024/07/go-application-version/ Until recently, I didn&rsquo;t really think about how to get an application&rsquo;s version into its binary without some horrendous use of sed or manually changing hardcoded values. Normally my application&rsquo;s version is just the Docker image tag, but how do I get the version info into the actually binary? Digging through the internet I found a super easy way to have the linker do it with ldflags. Just create a global variable where your main function lives: /posts/2024/06/cloud-native-development/ Fri, 14 Jun 2024 14:08:18 -0700 /posts/2024/06/cloud-native-development/ The use of containers is quickly becoming the de facto standard for application development whether you like it or not. Containers themselves will undoubtedly be considered to be some archaic, shitty technology at some point down the road but their contribution to providing isolation is something that will not be forgotten. There are countless articles on the internet describing how containers work under the hood and how they&rsquo;re different from VMs, but I haven&rsquo;t seen much talk of how to actually use the damn things effectively in your everyday developer life. /posts/2023/10/type-inference/ Fri, 06 Oct 2023 15:40:55 -0700 /posts/2023/10/type-inference/ Backstory The other day at work, I had a coworker look over some changes I made to one of our Java applications. He gave me some pretty standard feedback: this looks good, fix this, etc. But he also told me that I really shouldn&rsquo;t be using var for my variable assignments because it &ldquo;makes the code less readable&rdquo;. I put a lot of effort in trying to make my code as readable as possible so his comment took me back for a moment. /about/ Thu, 10 Aug 2023 09:22:32 -0700 /about/ I&rsquo;m a backend software engineer constantly breaking things to fix them. I&rsquo;ve spent most of my developer time using Java, but I&rsquo;m really getting into Go. Here is an overview of my professional history in resume form.
