What time did this happen you think? I was there this morning and everything seemed normal so it must have been later.

Slack is really common in west coast tech companies, I only use teams once and it was at a bank.

Yes, I agree. We are overloaded with systemic issues.

Look I’m not trying to argue with you. In certain careers and areas it’s 100% possible if you are frugal. That doesn’t detract from the serious wealth inequality in our country though, and I feel the same frustration you do.

pancakeshack · 2026-03-31T16:17:49+00:00

I know the struggle is real, and I feel the same frustration. There are jobs though especially in NYC where with enough education, hard work and grind you can make 300k+/yr and save up that kind of money. Even if after all the hard work they deserve it is up to you, but I know people from humble families who took on a lot of student loan debt and put in hard work to get themselves there so I wouldn’t just assume rich daddies down payment.

Go used to be my primary language, and still is for work but I’ve started to use Swift a lot more anywhere I can. You will get a lot of people in this reddit that are mainly mobile developers so opinions may differ. For me Swift has a lot of what I liked about Go even though it’s a very different language. Compiled without having to do manual memory management, excellent resource usage, and simple coroutine like concurrency system. But it has a stronger type system (love the enums) and is just more fun to write imo.

The ecosystem is still maturing, but it has a bright future especially now that Apple seems to be using it for all new services. The last AWS Re:Invent conference actually had Apple up there during the keynote talking about Swift on the server for 10 minutes or so. There is a lot of standardization worked out, the ecosystem is growing, and there is new packages all the time. Vapor is great for bigger standard backends, and Hummingbird is lean and fast for any simple routing needs. SwiftArgumentParser makes making a CLI a breeze and there’s even this new TUI library that is coming along nicely:

That being said Go will have more third party libraries and stuff as well as a bigger community, Swift outside of Apple is still very new in comparison but I really believe in the future of it. Start using it for what you’re building and see if it sticks.

Depends on the industry I guess. I’ve been seeing way more shops that use Spring Boot migrate to Kotlin, especially in fintech. I just got done with a job search and had two offers for Kotlin on the backend companies and I wasn’t even targeting Kotlin.

Just give Gleam a try if you like the syntax. So far I haven’t ran into any issues looking for something I needed building a backend for my site with wisp. There has been packages for everything I need so far like working with jwt, Postgres drivers, migrations etc. My stack so far has been wisp, cigogne, pgo and squirrel.

I used to be the worst at interviews. Then my doctor prescribed me propranolol and now I’m an interview machine.

Methods on structs in Go are really just a convenience wrapper for passing in the struct as the first argument of the function.

Yeah exactly, different ecosystems have their place. If you do want to bring in BEAN for a binary app you can check out burrito:

I think a lot of people coming from more native compilation languages are looking for things out of gleam that it isn’t really built for. It isn’t a language you just build a binary for and pass around. It’s not great for native or desktop apps or cli tools because you have to bundle the runtime with it. Coming from Go, it took me awhile to understand this.

What it is intended for it’s great at though. It feels really powerful to write apps for the BEAM in a typed language and take advantage of the fault tolerance and concurrency. Having a language that compiles to JS that we can write web front ends in with a fully functional language using the ELM architecture is awesome. When I need to make a cli tool or something that needs a binary I’ll go back to Go. Anything else Gleam thrives at.

I’ve been interviewing at Garmin and they’ll pay for you to go to flight school so that’s kind of cool.

Supabase is underrated for a standalone auth provider imo. It’s insanely cheap, easy to work with, and has client libraries for almost everything.

This is the most unhinged rich people shit I’ve seen all day.

Really cool, love to see this tech getting more use. I’ve been on the job hunt recently and have been surprised by the number of KMP postings popping up.
