I’m tremendously excited about the synctest package. There’s usually a tension between making async code idiomatic or testable. Synctest makes the idiomatic code testable.

With Filip we wrote a blog post explaining the new @golang.org 1.23 "iter" package and its unexpected use case in the Go gRPC world and @thanos.io
We also dive into Go coroutines (not goroutines!) that makes new iterators even more special, enjoy! 🤗

I feel like I need two forms of contact for most folks now. My mortgage advisor just had their email / dropbox hacked. They sent me (and other customers) a dodgy who knows what payload disguised as a PDF.
Lucky I had him on WhatsApp and could ping him directly about it. He replied "delete it now!"

New example image for #goshot and I kind of love it. Also updated the wiki and added a list of all themes, including several new #colorblind friendly schemes. I am getting pretty close to a v1.0 release hopefully. Just need to fix some stuff with the terminal rendering. #go #golang #foss

Yesterday @markphelps.github.io and I finished our first MVP of history and rollback capabilities in Glu.
Now each phase in Glu has its own relevant and isolated history of versions that can be explored and when needed, rolled back to.

I am doing silly things with #golang iterators again. So thought I would share in the hope it is helpful, or maybe someone will show me a better way.
This time I have a collection type, which exposes its own abstraction for iterating over its contents. Instead, I want it to use the iter package.

Whilst working on implementing payments I realised I needed access to the courses admin page so I quickly whipped it up.
As usual I used Golang and HTMX to implement the filtering, infinite scroll and editing capabilities to make the app feel like a SPA.

Gianluca is a legend 👌 and kindly listened to me rant on about Glu this week.
Monday @georgemac.bsky.social demoed Glu to me and yep! He is up to something fun! A framework that can be used to pilot a deployment system. Kind of nice to glue together the million tools we need to deal with then it comes to releasing software!
Today in Glu world we added support for built-in history. History is tracked on a per pipeline and phase basis and available in the UI on main.
We also added API support for rollbacks (UI is under development):
github.com/get-glu/glu/...
Tomorrow I will have a video!

Big change going into Glu today with only minor face value.
A lot of the core types are moving around. The biggest being the move from phases and sources, to phases and edges.
The concept of promotion in Glu is a now a concern for edges.
