Ghostty on macOS

Ghostty

I got private beta access (quite late), and Ghostty is probably going to be out in its first public release any day now. Here are my initial impressions, having used it for a couple of weeks on macOS.

Native per-project tools in Go 1.24

There are some exciting news in the Go community as of recently on how to manage tools in Go projects. With the next release of Go (Go 1.24, expected to be released in February 2025), it seems we'll finally have a way to natively define per-project tools! 🎉

This hopefully means no more Makefile and/or tools.go for managing project tooling. And it looks like e.g. Dependabot will support this out of the box too.

Session management in Wezterm (without tmux)

Wezterm workspaces

I've been using Neovim as my daily IDE/editor for a bit more than a year now. I've also been using tmux to manage sessions, first using t-smart-tmux-session-manager and later sesh, which supersedes the former project. What's great about this is that it doesn't matter which terminal emulator you use, you can still fall back to this kind of session management.

But the draw screen latency (and complexity) of tmux is annoying and I finally took some time to evaluate the session management capabilities of Wezterm (my currently favorite terminal emulator, which you configure with Lua!) called "workspaces", to see if this could replace tmux altogether for me.

GitHub Pages and Google

Turns out that if you publish a blog (like I do) on GitHub pages, and you want the site to be indexed by Google, it's not so easy.

I'm not sure entirely what the root cause is, but you have to manually add your site in the Google Search Console and then manually add each URL individually for indexing. This discussion outlines the problem perfectly.

Perhaps the reason for this is there are a LOT of pages under the github.io domain, so Google doesn't automatically index it all, or times out. Or perhaps it's because GitHub has some restriction in place which avoids attracting too much traffic to their free hosting solution. 🤷

Here's a more detailed discussion thread which expands more on this topic.

Export repo data from GitHub organization

This is a quickie, using the GitHub CLI and optionally some Python.

Replace YOUR_ORG with your organization and export all your organization's repo data to repos.json:

gh api \
        -H "Accept: application/vnd.github+json" \
        -H "X-GitHub-Api-Version: 2022-11-28" \
        /orgs/YOUR_ORG/repos \
        --paginate > repos.json

Decoupling the ORM class from the data model class

I'm working on a rather large project where we would want to replace a WSGI ORM with an ASGI ORM, but it's tangled up into everything and ORM queries are executed from all over the business logic. If the ORM would've been decoupled from the objects tossed around in the business logic, it would've been much easier to replace the ORM.

This blog post outlines an example of how this can be done with Pydantic. I'm also including a "bonus section" on decoupling the data store communication from the business logic with some inspiration of the "Repository pattern".
