They say “fake it till you make it” — but no one tells you that even after you “make it,” you’ll still be googling "how to fix [engine] [error] [again] [why]" at 2AM like everyone else.
The real secret of programming?
Confidence is just knowing which panic to ignore. -

Coding with AI feels a lot like teaching.
That’s not good or bad. But if it is like teaching, then:
- You still need to learn before you can teach. Understanding the domain, software architecture, and quality remains essential.
- Not everyone who loves coding as a creative act of problem-solving, deep thinking, and building abstractions will find the same joy in instructing a machine. -

Kotlin and Go couldn't be approaching their error handling pains more differently.
Go: https://go.dev/blog/error-syntax
Kotlin: https://medium.com/@internetcreationist/exploring-rich-errors-in-kotlin-a-game-changer-from-kotlinconf-2025-ea11ae23b585TL;DR: While Kotlin is getting rich errors, Go is getting... nothing. And please stop asking for it, the community clearly won't come to a consensus.
Like it or not, `if err != nil` is here to stay.
