Is reading the posted article just something we don't do anymore?

  Haven't done that in ages. I open both the page and the comments. The first few comments usually dictate if I'm going to bother with the page. What I want next is just an AI summary of the comments with vibe analysis ("Is this worth reading?).

  To be fair, I read the article but still don't know what greentea is. The article never directly refers to the new GC by this name. It appears in a command line option value, that's about it.

    > The new garbage collector may be enabled by setting GOEXPERIMENT=greenteagc at build time I don’t know if you’d count that as directly referring to it by name but it’s there.

      The sentence reads The new garbage collector may be enabled by setting [blurred] at build time to me, where exact flag value is automatically ignored, because I don't care what's in there. I don't pay attention to such irrelevant details

        Yeah that’s extremely fair.

  If people were intended to read we wouldn't have to yell at them to RTFM!!
