I wrote something similar (though admittedly more in depth) some time ago: https://www.cggonzalez.com/blog/index.html

I find it surprising that the gap between tool usage and non-tool usage in HLE is relatively small (~10%) but the absolute numbers continue to go up

I haven’t booted up an editor in a long time but I’ve written lots of software recently (mostly with codex).

Interesting times…

Can’t wait for the sequel:

Bodega Rats of New York

The progress on computer use / OS world is nuts.

14.9% a year and a half ago and now 72.5%

forgot how much fun this game is. really takes me back

I’m a big fan of Django and Go as well but the only thing in the Go ecosystem that I’ve found that comes close is beego: https://github.com/beego/beego

But it still needs to mature quite a bit before I’d be comfortable saying it’s anywhere near Django or Rails

I found Pagoda required me to juggle too many things that were only loosely coupled together.

GoBuffalo was great but as soon as I started using, it got archived :’)

Now I default to beego. It isn’t as batteries included as a rails or django app, but there’s enough there that I don’t have to write as much boilerplate as with only the stdlib.

The best thing I’ve found is beego: https://github.com/beego/beego

Not affiliated in any way, but to me it’s better than most of the alternatives

This is the most thorough resource I’ve found: https://www.scratchapixel.com/

Though admittedly it is a bit chaotically organized.

That one combined with the ray tracing in 1 weekend series is a good start.

agreed. It's interesting that Go has a lot of the ground work set up (built-in prod server, etc.) but no framework has really taken off. And the dev productivity when compared to something like Django is painfully slow...

The most succinct and intuitive explanation I’ve found on PID is this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Y7zG48uHRo

YMMV I guess :)

Using only PD (no I) when tracking also works well. Might be worth adding a short section about that to compare against the full PID.

Interesting. Thanks for taking the time to answer.

How do you decide whether a side project/idea is worth pursuing? You mentioned in another comment that you don’t “do the MVP stuff” and go full blown from the beginning. That seems like a big time sink without a rigorous way of validating whether users want what you’re building.
