Working with the Go team there are a lot of conversations that go completely over my head. Earlier in my career I'd be embarrassed about this and pretend to understand, now I'm vocal about it. If I don't understand it, it's likely others would benefit from simplification.

"At Netflix, I lead the Go language guild. We've been seen increasing reports of users finding their AI agents writing better Go code than other languages, and increasing reports of projects favouring Go over other languages." news.ycombinator.com/item?id…

Gemini 3.6 Flash has completely changed how I work. It’s not at frontier-level for coding, but for computer use? Very capable and very fast. Multiple times I thought it glitched because the response was instant, only to realize it had already finished the task. Game changer. ⚡️

The real story isn’t Sol but Terra and Luna which have achieved a level of higher intelligence at a lower cost. We haven’t seen this yet. Game changing.

Also wild that the day after @Microsoft stopped subsidizing copilot they announce a device that runs frontier models locally. Can’t wait to get one of these.
Local models are the future. Reliable, private and responsive.

For those of us old enough to remember the year of “Linux on the desktop” in the 90s and 2000s. Never expected that the way this story would have ended would be with @Microsoft being the one to make it happen and that it would be on Windows.

Loving all the changes @Microsoft is announcing at MS Build. Fully embracing the Linux/Unix tooling from adding built in Unix shells, core tools and containers.

When Rob Pike says "no" to AI contributions, the Go project keeps functioning. It has funded reviewers.
When I say "no" to AI reviewing a PR on spf13/Afero, it just sits there.
Those are very different kinds of "no."

Why do tech leaders burn millions on language choice?
They think it's a tech debate. It's an identity crisis.
Explore the "invisible conversation" (ego vs. logic) and how to reframe it as an economic decision.

Hugo now has a Mastodon account:
fosstodon.org/@gohugoio
We have (temporarily I hope) lost access to our Twitter account @GoHugoIO (we forgot who created that account). If you have any tips on how to fix that, PM/mail me.

Surveys like this provide so much insight to the developers. Join me in helping out one of my favorite open source projects.
It's Nushell survey time!
Whether or not you're currently using Nushell, we'd love to hear from you. Should take around 5 mins, and it's a big help to us.
