This is a collection of links I stumbled across and found worth sharing. Also see the blogroll for links to blogs I regularly read.
I read this very long article about Telegram today and somehow it left me with mixed feelings. The article is also from WIRED, but it offers more balanced coverage than an article from a year ago.

Another entry from my reading list: “Darker Corners of Go”. Rytis Bieliunas has taken the effort to write down all the points to consider when programming with Go. A lengthy list, even if I personally find Go simpler than, say, Java.

I stumbled upon this GitHub repository and I think it’s pretty funny. Of course, once you get to know all of Go’s features, you’ll want to try them out. But with enough experience you end up with simple code again.

Go is now eleven years old! I’ve only been programming in Go for about 1.5 years, so I’ve only actively followed a small part of those eleven years.

I am now versioning my DNS configuration. With the tool DNSControl it is possible for a number of DNS providers and registrars to manage the DNS and name server settings of your own domains. For example, it is possible to configure several DNS services at the same time (for example as backup DNS) or to make major changes by making a small code change and deploy them through continuous integration. In my configuration I even let JavaScript code generate part of the configuration. A great tool, I think!
