Flutter is a fantastic platform, but it needs better stewardship than Google imo. Flutter web still feels like alpha software

Fun little thing with the new Reader/Writer interfaces in Zig. Streaming the contents of a Reader into a Writer while omitting the line that starts with a value (`self.value`). Feels clean to me, but I'm ready to be humbled. is there a better way?

This is my Zig trick of the week. Doing this in your main or root.zig will make sure that when you run zig build test, all of your tests will run (some exceptions apply -- tests inside of a struct for example).
zig build test not running all tests drove me crazy. Here's my fix.

I've been exploring Microzig lately and... tbh, the documentation is a little lacking. Have you built anything cool with Microzig? I'd love to help catalog your blogposts/videos/tutorials/etc! Lemme know!

@fallthrough.fm latest episode is one of my favorite. Really nice chat with Kris and Matt about a ton of relevant topics. I agree with the Gophercon sentiment. It felt off this year and that was a bummer.

So my airpods "seamlessly" switched between devices (which means they didnt do it seamlessly and were a pain in the ass) but my Sony XM5s can connect to multiple devices at the same time. Stop music on one device, start music on the next and it works perfectly.

When I first started programming, I wanted to build an ORM to learn more about how they work and to have built an ORM (of course). I started looking at how Hibernate works because I was mostly writing Java and Holy Cow, I am shocked none of my peers stopped me and suggested literally any alternative

I had the delightful opportunity to talk with Loris Cro (VP of Community, Zig Software Foundation) about Zig’s upcoming reintroduction of Async into the language. I was a bit skeptical of the implementation, but my conversation with Loris left me very excited!
