🚨 Oh no! Someone let the intern play with the production #database again, this time with #Terraform. 🤦‍♂️ Meanwhile, the article bravely battles the menace of disabled #JavaScript, urging us to disable our #privacy #extensions so we can fully enjoy the 404 #experience. 🌐🔧

Claude Code wiped our production database with a Terraform command. It took down the DataTalksClub course platform and 2.5 years of submissions: homework, projects, and leaderboards. Automated snapshots were gone too. In the newsletter, I wrote the full timeline + what I

👩‍💻 So, you decided to write a 20-minute #thesis on the Go runtime's memory allocator? Bravo! 🏆 Too bad it's as exciting as watching paint dry, except the paint is trying to manage memory allocations in a world where only #interns #care. 🚀💤

The Memory Allocator | Internals for Interns

In the previous article we explored how the Go runtime bootstraps itself — how a Go binary goes from the operating system handing it control to your func main() running. During that bootstrap, one of the first things the runtime sets up is the memory allocator. And that’s what we’re going to explore today. Think of the memory allocator as a warehouse manager. Your program constantly needs boxes of different sizes — sometimes tiny, sometimes huge — and it needs them fast. The allocator’s job is to hand out those boxes as quickly as possible, keep the warehouse organized so nothing goes to waste, and work with the garbage collector to reclaim boxes that nobody is using anymore.

@beka_valentine I think it's mostly due to fostering #TechIlliteracy instead of teaching #TechLiteracy with a caste of #LadderPullers working to enshure less people, espechally marginalized ones, pursue #ComputerSciences or even #IT in general.

  • Add to that the unwillingness - similar to trades - to offer #traineeships (and not merely exploit people as #interns at below - poverty line pay) and you get a rising group of informal #TechWorkers that then try to fill the ureasonable demand.

    • Corporations constantly complain they need more #professionals whilst being explicitly unwilling to train #talent inhouse is IMHO self-inflicted #BrainDrain, as those that ain't stupid seize the opportunity and negotiate in that climate to a better position, if not start #freelancing as that gives them more control on what jobs to pursue.

I love @computerphile #videos (too bad their mastodon account is inactive...). In a way, I hope we are doing something similar with our #interns #presentations. Each intern makes two presentations about a topic they need to first research. Then it is presented to our #students club and recordings are at our #peertube channel @phuquocdevs_sessions

We have just released a big update to our multiplayer Snake Game - our "sacrificial" pet project where #interns are making all the mistakes before they go into a job.

Introducing: the "Human" player. Run away from snakes! Place mines by spacebar! Win by tricking the snakes to eat themselves!
