We need to find a way to figure out which of those differences are important, then. YC seems to be trying via this Ask a Female Engineer series, but if we ask those female engineers which issues are most important to them in regards to what

I don't know of any studies, anecdotes aren't data, and I don't know of any particular issues listed in the article that might affect women more than men. The only point I'm trying to make is the obvious one: men and wom

Generalizing, actually. But I don't think that it's necessarily a bad thing. Taken individually, you'll find folks all over any given spectrum, but if we're going to address "Women in Tech" vs the implicit &quo

I think there's a case to be made that, in general, women may be more sensitive to some universal tech industry issues which men tend to shrug off or otherwise deal with differently.

Literally guessing here, but does XDR support backwards compatibility with updated definitions? Protobufs let you add a property to a definition as long as it's at the end of the object definition, yet objects encoded in the old defini

It's absolutely a possibility for Go 2.0. There's a hard lock on Go 1.X compatibility, but per the link in my above comment the Go team is fielding proposals for Generic implementations. I also recommend reading Russ Cox's

One of the primary design principles behind Go is that it be designed to incorporate the best available features of other languages, as much as it is able while remaining simple and easy to learn and use. If there is a way to incorporate
