Using a similar metaphor, I'd compare Go with a jet that's high performance but easy to fly - i.e. it doesn't have the numerous gotchas and quirks high performance jets usually have that the pilot has always have to keep in m

I wouldn't say it's ludicrously low - it's still half of income tax, which itself can be pretty high for people who make a lot.

I think the point is that Spotify would need to have a promotion competency in addition to a production one. "Interesting music" is far more subjective than "interesting movies".

Working on a big legacy Java program spread over many dozens smallish files in deeply nested directory trees is very annoying without some IDE features (e.g. jump to definition). And I haven't seen a tool that can provide that kind of

No it's not, but the point is, if the team is remote-first, you don't need to make that replacement. And you get all the benefits of not having to drag people to the office against their will (which are huge). In your example, if

Remote doesn't mean isolated. PMs can and should do their job regardless of whether people are remote or not.

Sure, without tools like that being the rule, there's no way to make it work. I sometimes wonder if many of the "on-site only" employers even realize how much they are missing out on. For example, when I'm in the office,

That's the problem, there's no getting over the learning curve when it comes to languages like Scala or Haskell. While you do get more proficient with time, you never get to the state where the language gets out of the way and bec

I can open a standard library definition and quickly understand what it does. If I try to do that with Scala or Java, my eyes just glaze over. With Go I often don't notice when I venture outside of my own program and into 3rd party lib

I think typing is the easiest part of programming. Reading, maintaining and improving legacy codebases are some of the hardest. If that extra typing makes it much easier to do the above tasks, I don't mind doing this. Go runtime panics

I think a standing/adjustable desk is a good solution, but you should be able to sit down and, more importantly, put your feet above your waist for a while, occasionally. Otherwise you may ruin the veins in your legs in the long run. (

I concur. I'd always had problems with some tennis shoes with strings being short and thick, causing them to untie in the middle of a session. Has never been a problem since I learned that knot.

There are, but I found they don't help much. I had the same attitude coming in from Softimage but eventually had to bite the bullet because I was screwing up a lot of Blender's workflows just because I remapped a few keys to match

The cost of moving to new workflows is what keeps many shops from adopting new software. And people have been burned by Autodesk (e.g. their buying and sunsetting Softimage), so if you already have a working pipeline based on a popular open
