   Are you the person who took my place? :) Got to the last stage, twice, in London. To me, the Code Review Best Practices seem awfully like very general knowledge, just gathered together. Not sure if it's HN-worthy per se. However, the J

   Same here. I've had two of these and they are just so enjoyable, not to mention the incredibly positive feedback.

   That's a very interesting point! I would consider that a superpower. Would this also imply that humans are capabable of way more than one would normally think, given proper training?

   Thanks guys, the amount of negative votes lets me know I should change my perception of it, because I'm likely the minority. I thought this is an issue if we want to invest in the future of a language, but apparently it isn't.

    I'd like to mention that for me personally the biggest issues with the language so far is its unappealing name. 'Go' sounds like a bad sports drink. Does anyone think the same? Is it for the greater good to be inviting for mo

    What about dressing up for the jog and afterwards showering and dressing up again? Also most people don't have a park in a 5 minute walking distance. I would say for most people they take 10-30 minutes to get to the training place, tra
