100%. You wouldn’t hire right-wing “celebs” internally and to the board if you just want your own posts to do better.

The go community is strongly opinionated in unique ways. For example, using libraries is generally frowned upon. You either use something included in the language itself (standard library) or copy/paste the code you wrote in another project. There’s also advocacy for shorter variable names which generally seems counter to the normal “write descriptive variable name” mantra.

All in all, I hope the ideas / opinions came from a good place and then some people took them as black & white rules. But they also come off as one or two people’s pet peeves who got to build a language around them.

I’m going to have to print out the Go version for all future “it’s idiomatic” and “but the community!” debates at work

I use Firefox full time but I’m bummed at the number of sites that break in odd ways when not using Chrome. As an engineer, I understand how appealing it is to only have to test in one browser, but this monopoly is the result.

Yeah, I don’t need a bot / feed for any specific service; give me an open standard like RSS any day.

Most of them are just dumb. Like a guy finds out his mom just died in a bear attack, so he and his coworker have passionate sex for the first time.

Turnstile was announced over a year ago.

I don’t know about evil, but my results have been filled with AI generated crap sites lately. I don’t know if others are doing any better filtering them out, but it is making me think to look elsewhere besides ddg

The >!redeemed!< Dark Urge ending had me perplexed: >!Don’t have kids or they’ll probably murder for Bhaal, toodles!!<

Why are the three Chrome derivatives missing features Chrome has? Is it a porting issue or are they just that far behind on pulling in upstream changes?

DHH is a contrarian. Any benefits of the cloud he might get are overridden by the fact that he needs to be different (and blog about it).

See his stances on Typescript, workplace inclusion, TDD, etc.

There’s literally a column on the chart for that.

It was made by an edgelord for edgelords.

CuckCuckGo belongs in the trash instead.

The “Product Led Growth” crowd doesn’t care about charging based on what things cost. They only care about what the buyer will tolerate. The “value metric” that pisses me off the most is per user pricing when the service doesn’t incur costs per user.

I’m curious about using the same store for passwords and TOTP. Technically if someone gets screwed to your database, they have both your factors, yes? But I guess it does thwart someone trying to brute force your password.

If I’m reading this right, it’s a digested form of something else in those vegetables. So adding broccoli to toothpaste isn’t going to cut it. (Although I’m sure some brand on IG is already manufacturing that)

What’s a situation where you need an unused variable? I’m onboard with go and goland being a bit aggressive with this type of thing, but I can’t think of the case where I need to be able to commit an unused variable.
