Going hands-on with a new project

So I’m starting a new Go project and was going back and forth on whether I should generate the code using Claude. Typically I just do the design by now and delegate the code creation to it but somehow it felt wrong with this project.

I’m not yet that used to writing Go services and when I started generating some code I had this feeling that I don’t understand all of it. I deleted everything and decided to now write the first version by hand. I like it so far and have the impressions that I’m learning something. Glad I’m doing it this way, at least for this project.

Compare before you buy

I know this is probably obvious. Still I haven’t done it.

I work with a 16“ MacBook Pro m3 at my main job. For my private private projects I decided to treat myself and buy the m5 pro. 48 gigs of ram and 1 TB.

I used to have a 13“ back in the days and seeing the new m5 14“ that most of my colleagues get I thought hey why not it’s lighter and more practical and of course cheaper. So I ordered my 14“ despite having some doubts.

How naive. When I got into the Apple Store and actually saw both models in direct comparison it was so clear: I just love the display and overall size of the 16“. Suddenly I also remembered how annoying it was back then with the 13“ to chill on a sofa, coding, having to keep my legs tight to each other so it doesn’t fall through. It also just felt and looked weird when I hold it, I’m tall and have somewhat bigger hands.

So yea long story short: I asked the Apple guy to return it please and I picked up the 16“. Just go with the bigger one if you’re used to it and don’t try to save money here, not worth it.

PS: can’t wait to try running qwen locally when I’m back home
