A few weeks ago, Youtube’s algorithm sent me to a video that picked my interest on how to properly do a circle of light (video link). That seemed like a fun little weekend project to write an in-browser circle generator with a few parameters so you can generate one to your needs.

Go toolchain is really good. I believe most Go devs can agree that the DevX of the Go ecosystem is pleasant. Simple yet effective in its mission. Dependencies management, go mod tidy will just downloads what you need. You want to cross compile? set GOARCH or GOOS flags. If you are lucky enough to never have to touch CGO, go build will just work. Otherwise you may need to do twiddle a few things around like download the correct C headers, or set some env var to enable some flags, but it’s usually fairly simple. If you have perf issues, you have go tool pprof, and tracing visualization with go tool trace built in. You want to be able to read the generated binary in a nice format just use go tool objdump.

August 2023 was a fun and interesting month for me. I traveled to the North Cap, powered by my legs (and a bit of train). Starting from Copenhagen on July 30th, I finally arrived on August 21th after 2200km and 18500m+ of positive elevation. During that time, I took 2 days break (so technically cycled 21 days), including 15 days with, at least some, rain.

I just had enough of the dependabot notifications for such a simple website.
