Golang Binary Versioning Trick

To use, place the code in version_trick.go in your project. Don't forget to change the namespace to match yours to the actual name of your package.

In addition to version_trick.go, there's a makefile-snippet, that includes the secret sauce for making this trick work. Be sure to change the package name there as well.

Enjoy!

P.S. Special thanks to @meatballhat by way of @syscomet for showing me this trick!

You're Missing the Point of Promises

This article has been given a more permanent home on my blog. Also, since it was first written, the development of the Promises/A+ specification has made the original emphasis on Promises/A seem somewhat outdated.

You're Missing the Point of Promises

Promises are a software abstraction that makes working with asynchronous operations much more pleasant. In the most basic definition, your code will move from continuation-passing style:

getTweetsFor("domenic", function (err, results) {
 // the rest of your code goes here.
