Close but not quite correct. Saffron comes from a specific Crocus plant named Crocus Sativus aka Autumn Crocus (because it blooms in Autumn). It’s easily mistaken with the other Crocus flowers. They require different climates. I can’t be su

People commonly mistake other Crocus family flowers with Saffron's. Are you sure it's Crocus Sativus? Crocus is common and the flower looks very similar to Saffron's but it is not that. When do they bloom? If they bloom in Sp

You’re right. But that’s my point. You can “ignore” the error and Go doesn’t force you to do anything that about it. I’ve seen this in production code. Also I’ve seen people just checking the null-ness of the return value, ignoring the erro

As if you can generalize the culture of different European countries, or even different regions in the same country just by skin color. Now this, in my opinion, is a form of cultural erasure where all the intricacies and interesting aspects
