The Gophercon EU Berlin 2025 talks are now available on youtube, which means it is time for me to rewatch them and ponder again about the things I learned, the things that made me laugh, and the things that reignited my love for Go.

I’ve been working on a certain project which I am not ready to share yet, but which involves reading from RTP streams.

At Sentiance (where I work as a Software Engineer), we use gRPC and protobuf to communicate between services in a typesafe manner.

People have complicated feelings about AI Coding assistants.

This is a short exploration of how Protobuf3 OneOf fields are represented using Golang as our exploration medium.

My girlfriend works in the field of language and education research and sometimes makes lessons for the online Dutch language learning platform Nedbox.

Failed to compute set of methods to expose - Symbol not found This cryptic error has reared its ugly head a few times in the past when working with grpc in Golang.

The internet is probably full of tutorials on how to do this right, but I had to struggle a bit to figure it out for myself.

Clarification: This is literally about my laundry.

Most of my technical endeavours have something to do with enabling me to work as little as possible for as much reward as possible.

Note: I will be using the terms amd64, x86_64, and Intel interchangeably in this post.

I have never used Rust extensively.

I love expression languages.

Intro Sometime in mid to late 2021 (which is a period I’ve entirely made up because I don’t actually remember when any of this happened), I needed to rant on my company Slack.

I’ve come across many mTLS tutorials on the internet but none of them took me through the process, end-to-end, in a satisfying fashion.

Update The shared github repo for the end product of this post is in version 2 state.

I recently updated my company’s main NodeJS repository to include formatting via prettier-eslint and linting via eslint.

Dealing With Errors in Go Projects Note: In this post I talk both about the purely technical reasons for doing certain things and some practices that have made debugging production systems easier for me.

Today, while at work, I had to turn a single-quoted string into a template literal because mid-way through the string I realized I had to put in an apostrophe.

Recently, at my workplace, a colleague felt a rustle up his jimmies due to our lack of semicolon usage in our NodeJs repos.

Update I’ve put the bookmarklets that I mostly frequently use in every day life on this repository.

This post was inspired by my writing of another post which you can read [here]({{ site.baseurl }}{% post_url 2016-12-01-letter-casing-in-names-of-imported-nodejs-modules %}).

So I started using textures in my code, and it’s not been a fun time, mainly because I was missing some key understanding of how c++ keeps things in scope.

Game-programming has always been one of my interests ever since I coded a simple game of Pong!
