Absolutely fucking incredible. During my talk recording last week, my recorder shut down because of a power issue; the 10 GB, 1:30 h recording was corrupted. @claudeai code recovered this file for me.

From @JNationConf to Lisbon tech meetup with @marionete_io πŸ‘‡
A lot of GenAI still lives in demos. The hard part isn’t the model... it’s everything around it: live data, approvals, retries, evolving schemas, workflows, governance... On May 28 in #Lisbon we’re hosting a meetup on AI real-time data. I’ll be presenting "Back to the Boring: GenAI That Ships". And @gAmUssA Gamov will dive into MCP streaming systems. πŸ‘‰ meetup.com/lisbon-apache-kaf… #AI #GenAI #Kafka #MCP

Generally developers think of Go as being great for concurrency. Its not. JVM approaches are vastly superior. And even some of the best in the whole industry when you include virtual threads, structured concurrency & Effects.
if you enjoy using the concurrency primitives in Go, challenge yourself to implement a connection pool sometime. there are A LOT more edge cases in this than I originally thought.

Kafka isn't just messaging. It's becoming the backbone of scalable, AI-driven systems. Designing it well is where things get complicated. Katya Gorshkova breaks down how to architect Kafka systems that actually scale and why it’s increasingly acting as an orchestration layer for AI with @gAmUssA on @GOTOcon Book Club. Watch: hubs.la/Q04dgCFq0 Get her book, Kafka for Architects, for 45% off with code GOTOKGKafka through May 24th: hubs.la/Q04dgHyh0
