In a week that was mostly 🤮 (hey can I render emoji here‽), I noticed that this little blog is now (or at least was for a time, future readers) a 'featured snippet' on Google's search result!

I was looking for some information for another "Go internals" blogpost I'm writing to see if any new sources have popped up, but was presented with this screen.

<img src="/images/featured-snippet.png" style='height: 80%; width: 80%; object-fit: contain'/>

This, let's be honest, absolutely insignificant thing was the week's 'spark' for me; a small positive thought, feedback, or factoid that can put you back on track.

So, a personal reminder, next time I'm feeling disillusioned, I'll try to look around for that 'spark'; to reminisce of past achievements, remember why I love coding and technology, help other people, or just disconnect and take a long walk in a nearby grove. Also, don't miss the chance to be that 'spark for other people. You'll both be glad for it.

I'm off to play around with Nix, see you soon!

This, let's be honest, absolutely insignificant thing was the week's 'spark' for me; a small positive thought, feedback, or factoid that can put you right back on track.

So, a personal reminder, next time I'm feeling disillusioned, I'll try to look around for that 'spark'; to reminisce of past achievements, remember why I love coding and technology, help other people, or just disconnect and take a long walk in a nearby grove.
