What a gorgeous machine. Back when computers weren't afraid of showing some color. Red escape, blue return, green shifts. Love it.
This is the Amstrad CPC 464, released in 1984.
It's the very first computer @dhh had.
It featured:
- 4 MHz Z80 CPU
- 64 kB of RAM
- up to 16 colours (at 160x200) or up to 640x200 resolution (2 colours only)
- built in BASIC
- built in cassette recorder for loading & saving files

Four things that actually move the needle when you work for yourself:
1. Talking to customers
2. Creating helpful content
3. Shipping something people can buy
4. Saying no to basically everything else
That's the 20% of stuff that matters.
How does the Rule of Clarity from The Art of UNIX Programming by Eric S. Raymond, apply to Go, particularly in the context of writing tests?
I have included numerous examples in the book I just launched.

Software Engineers are not paid for writing code.
Theyβre paid for solving problems.
The faster you accept this, the better your life and career will be.

Software getting worse with each iteration without anyone noticing in the process is just a modern version of a boiling frog tale

The foundations of Continuous Delivery aren't pipelines...
β’ Fast, reliable tests
β’ Clean, modular design
β’ Version control everywhere
β’ Frequent, small changes
β’ Automation you trust
Without these, You're not doing CD.

After 16 years of programming, the amount of working code I wrote that I donβt understand
Is horrifying.

Software engineering isnβt being replaced, the job is turning into something where you delete things generated by AI.

Just two years ago, the industry was throwing tens of millions of dollars to improve the latency by 2 milliseconds in some user facing hot critical paths. As of today, we are taking a dependency on the entire world and models that spit out a 5 tokens per second.

The market will almost always pay more for your skills than your employer will.
Build something for yourself, or stay underpaid forever.

βMomento moriβ (remember you must die) is a great reminder. If thereβs something that you really want to do - GO DO IT.
Try the business idea. Try the new diet. Move to that new city. Ask that person out. Try that acting career. Be that musician. Try that new sport.
Just go.
