Oh no, no I'm not, and the point of the joke was that a deb is as much of a single file as your compiled go thing. It's... well, it's a single file, it's a single artifact. And yes, it has dependencies! So does your go f

Whoa whoa whoa, slow down, that would mean somebody in the organization would have to spend _valuable senior developer time_ on reading things. Yes, that's jaded, but that's what I'd expect. So far I've yet to feel like

Honestly I hate online office tools. They encourage a collaboration model that just doesn't work for me _at all_ - and yet is, by now, _the standard_. I'd much rather send documents back and forth, with comments I integrate with t

I too snickered at that reply. Then I scrolled, and found his answer adequate. This doesn't mean that exploitation of women as unpaid labor is fake, it's _extremely_ rare. But, on the other hand, it's not inconsistent for som
