Poetry is an artistic expression and so it can be, as you say, ideas expressed in simple and elegant terms. But it can also be opaque, complicated, confusing, awkward, and abrasive, and still be great poetry. When working with others it is

Google has been putting a lot of money into open source for decades, in many different ways.

Nobody in Google SRE is on call for 24 hours. They have teams spread across time zones that rotate through the day. They also get paid more when they’re on call.

Funny you should say that, because go was specifically designed for large code bases. I work on a large go code base and it’s great. https://talks.golang.org/2012/splash.article
