I find coding assistants genuinely helpful almost half the time, assuming they correctly process the context of language and active code base. It’s helpful like an old school code generation wizard masquerading as autocomplete, but — even when wrong — it can help start or move the thinking process.

The other more than half the time, they get in the way because they’re interrupting the flow I have in mind. All I need is good language tooling and LSP that can help with the expression I’m typing right now.

This toot brought to you by “disabling the coding assistant before I throw something at the computer.”

Part of learning the language is figuring out the impact of each little change or idea. Overall I’m pretty pleased with myself. Maybe someday I’ll be better able to stomach text processing in Go, because I know that’s still the slowest part of my code.

I don’t need to care about 0.15s vs 0.45s with this. Heck I don’t need to care about 1.3a. But it’s a narrow, well-defined task. I can make small changes and promptly see the difference.

I already notice in blog posts, sample code, and my own efforts: because the compiler catches type errors and executables are fast, it’s real easy to write sloppy code in Go.

Just because it’s syntactically correct doesn’t mean it’s a good idea.

So I make the silly mistakes and the naive code choices in this small project so I can more easily recognize them in big legacy projects.

Officially giving up on swapping backspace with space on the Model 100. Muscle memory apparently is one of the categories of retention that does not reset periodically.

More accurately, swapping two keys is not enough of a reset. Different keyboard or swap out a whole bunch and I’m cool. Still got Dvorak muscle memory even though I use it maybe twice a year.

But everything the same except these couple bits? I’m screwed. Bouncing between PC and macOS layout is similar.

Trying an alternate version of my Go code that was taking 1.2 seconds to run.

No pointers, mostly just stepping through slices more times than you’d think was reasonable.

I haven’t gotten to the meaty bits yet, but the fact that this approach is averaging 26 milliseconds means — well it probably means my code is broken and I need to double check my tests.

But aside from that, 26ms for about the same amount of processing that took the pointer-laden approach probably 250ms to cover the same amount of work? That could be significant.

@pdcawley yah! If I implement the rest of the program, that would be caught as an inconsistent indent, since there are other markers in the text to indicate start or continuation of a block.

Basically this solution only occurred to me because I’ve done the process in two languages already, so I knew the exact logic I needed here. This is maybe the third time I’ve used tr/// in all these years.

hackers.town: 2024-07-25 Thu 05:23

@bink It looks a bit less scary as code in an editor, with tokens highlighted and the complexity more obviously isolated in an otherwise mundane code block. Coffee-enhanced brain thinks I should’ve gone with that.

I could count the number of times I’ve seen tr/// as the right solution on one hand, and I wouldn’t even need all my fingers. But turns out it’s real nice when you need it.

I’ve added the explanatory comment I’d request if I was reviewing this code in a pull request. Mainly, key gotchas to look out for.

But yeah, it takes some discipline to write legible Perl. Though I can make a complete mess in any language, no matter how readable an individual line is.

Satisfying morbid curiosity to see what a Perl version of my Go learning project looks like (that started out as a Python experiment btw).

To keep the headaches minimal I’m following the same logic flow.

Here’s the Perl equivalent of 26 lines I wrote in Go.

It’s harder to compare with the Python code because I was having fun with Pydantic, but it’s more than three lines.

It was so much easier I’m almost mad. OTOH it’s brittle as-is and I’d end up expanding it for clarity and corner cases.

Initial version of my Go learning project used too many pointers.

Curious how the code would look and run with fewer pointers, so I’ve been cleaning that up in a branch.

Still got a ways to go, but it looks — well, it’s Go. It looks a different kind of clunky than it did before. But it is more obvious what’s going on.

Fewer pointers means trusting the compiler more. Turns out this is a good idea. Execution time went from ~1.75s to ~1.25s on Linux.

@Flaky okay I’ll warn you right off the bat this is another rabbit hole that can be as distracting as it is helpful, but: set up a note system.

You can do simple paper notebooks, but I needed something I could search cross-link, so I use a PKM (Personal Knowledge Manager). There are many PKMs (I use Logseq, but I recommend Obsidian due to its large community) and many overarching systems (PARA is popular and close enough to how I do things), but the important starting point is just to get things down so you can go “oh yeah I remember learning that.”

The bit most helpful to me long term is the daily journal, where I jot down anything notable during my day. Over time something recurs or jumps out at me enough to deserve its own topic note.

And if you go down this path, you’ll start over many times as you get carried away in one direction or another. Just breathe and be patient with yourself.

I know I’m putting them to off-label use here, but I sure wish #Logseq handled namespaces more gracefully.

Definitely better with the Page-tags and Hierarchy plugin. Because it’s working with an already-loaded page, so several seconds are spent hiding 500 or so (so far) links.

Gonna have to start keeping a game log for the more involved ones, especially the automation games.

Do something else for a week and my ADHD-addled brain is all “I have no memory of this place.”

Need to shift my brain to interview prep mode, but we’re getting real close to a minimal publishable brain. “Minimal” means there’s a whole lot I want in there that won’t be when I go live.

Got a main RSS feed in there, though. And an h-card.

Later on in the day I plan to start fussing with Netlify configuration.

Ah the fiddly fixy boring bit of the project, where hyperfocus has wandered off and I must rely on mere focus.

But I got it working better and only a little past my bedtime.
