Agentic AI gives senior engineers a lift and juniors a drag, which tempts firms to automate away the entry level entirely.
The cash prize for anything that looked like a finding was the accelerant, and AI only made plausible-looking reports free to produce.
Define a protobuf contract, generate Go with buf, implement a gRPC server over a domain store, and turn on hardened TLS with mkcert and ALPN.
Service lifecycle in Go: register services with start and stop verbs, handle SIGINT and SIGTERM, and shut down gracefully with liveness checks.
Add self-update to a Go CLI: resolve releases per platform, compare versions, verify checksums and migrate config on upgrade.
Build an AI dungeon master in Go: keep the model to prose only by putting the rules in the system prompt and the mechanics in typed tool calls.
Expose an existing Go CLI to AI agents over MCP without writing any AI code, using built-in commands. The agent reach equals the CLI reach.
My CV stopped landing because a machine reads it before a person does. Reworking the structure for the filter without losing the voice.
Configuration for a Go CLI: precedence of flags over env over files, per-command embedded defaults, layered config merging and a strict mode.
Moving this blog from Jekyll and GitHub Pages to Hugo and GitLab Pages, and the two things I would do differently next time.
