I love the ads between the content and the comments; and after them too, just in case you missed the first impress.

Wait what ads? I've never run ads. Wonder if disqus is jamming something in there.

Can you send me a screenshot or something?

Edit: Damn looks like it is Disqus, I'm going to remove that. I've got no interest in running ads.

I'm a bit surprised you didn't mention inflammation management. The western diet almost entirely consists of inflammatory foods - refrigerated dough, packaged snacks, burgers etc.

Whilst my tennis elbow is probably caused by poor ergononics and not warming up properly before exercising, I'm finding tiger milk mushroom, a known anti-inflammatory [1] is helping a great deal.

In my case I didn't find much impact from diet and any blood tests I did showed no signs of inflammation. Though as I mentioned closer to the end of the post, I think generally focussing on your health (and I'd include diet in this) is always good. Most things might not have an impact but something often will.

Exactly the same experience.

For a smallish batch processing script I had written in node, I just fed it to chatgpt and got the golang version. It went from being unusable with over 100K records to handling 1M on exactly the same machine.

And only then I started adding things like channels, parallelism, and smart things.

Now that there's no perfect parity to maintain we've started optimising the Go versions as well. Multiple 2x performance improvements once we started doing this, on top of the original performance improvements. This translates to insane cost savings when you're working at scale.

I don't buy the argument that a lot of the performance jumps from rewrites comes from developers writing more optimised code.

I've worked on multiple rewrites of existing systems in both JS and PHP to Go and those projects were usually re-written strictly 1:1 (bugs becoming features and all that). It was pretty typical to see an 8-10x performance improvement by just switching language.
