Neat snippet for y’all today. I’m calling this snippet “channel smuggling”; I googled this and all that came up was weird stuff. Anyway, the idea here is that suppose you want to pass a piece of data into a channel and have something do some work on it. However, what if you want to block until after all the work on that data is completed? Here’s an example on Go Playground, and here it is replicated below:

Happy 2024!!! I decided I’d use this space to hold some of the bits of info I come across before/during/after our New Year’s trip to Portugal, as well as an overall cataloging of what we did.

Welp, I finally took the Kubernetes (K8s) dive. This post is basically going to be my “lab notes” from the experience, so don’t expect too much expository prose.

Good day to all! My release schedule is a bit all over the place, so this is either the first or second post in my Workflow Series that shows you how to get up and running with popular workflow engines. I have another post in the works using Temporal, but the topic of this post is going to be Apache Airflow.

Hello again! I’m really excited for this post; I’m going to be showing off a powerful visualization package called Plot (docs here), which is a JavaScript plotting library that came out of Observable.

Hi. It’s been a while. This post is covering go-redis, which is a popular Redis client for Go. There’s other Redis clients as well as other key-value store backends that you could opt for, but this post is about go-redis. Importantly, this post is not a primer on Redis itself (maybe I’ll have one of those in the future, but this ain’t it). I have a couple use cases in mind that will be the focus of this post:

Hi there. In this post, I’m going to go over a couple snippets of minimal HTTP servers that I use from time to time when I’m tinkering with Go.

Very short post today. Here’s a Vim cheat sheet I discovered years ago; posting it here for easier reference.

G’day everyone! The topic of this post focuses on geography related plotting strategies. Specifically, I’m going to show you how to get started making your own beautiful visualizations in Python so you can avoid the methods that require heftier buy-in like D3 or some dashboarding toolkits. This post is going to loosely follow this excellent guide.

Hello again. To start off the new year, I’m going to do a “Snippets” post focused on using JWTs in Go.
