Again, it happens, but the impact is wildly overstated. I get so confused with people saying "once it compiles, it probably works" (regardless of language). The problems I struggle with need invariants that can't be expressed by any modern language features.

If you're not sitting in a group of 5 watching one guy code, then you're not a team player.

You're painting a picture where people writing Go are constantly drowning in nil pointer panics. This is not reality. You hit them occasionally and they're trivial to understand and fix.

I like to rephrase things in my own words when I read new concepts. The LLM can tell me if my version is totally off.

This just looks like obsidian's markdown flavour.

The design in the shoppify post already had a background process for the item replenishment.

Some people use it to think less, some people use it to learn more.

This is scary though too. If the gov managed a key server like this, almost all companies would start requiring it. But this effectively gives the gov a very easy way to lock you out of everything.

Don't trust anyone who tells you event sourcing is simple to implement.

You inject the pool itself.

Using event sourcing instead of basic crud should go on a startup suicide guide ...

Your definition is diluted to the point of being worthless.

So when an agent does "cat file.txt" that's RAG to you?

0x696C6961 — Tue, 16 Jun 2026 22:57:42 +0000

The design I've landed over the years is to use both. The cookie is a session token and that's where you handle refresh tokens. Then there's an endpoint where you can mint a short-lived tenant-sepecific JWT. This holds the scopes & tenant id. The session token only lets you access the web assets & mint JWT tokens.

That's how it's always gone. The people in power push it and the opposition fights it "for the people".

Once the session gets long enough, agents start getting amnesia.
