Personal experiences with physical mail: - Post office clerk offered to fill in cheque details for me. Recipient didn't receive the payment and sued the broke 18 year-old me. The clerk likely pocketed the money. This was over a decade

Physical mail, too, is a source of gatekeeping and bureaucracy. It is labour-intensive, expensive, and you are trading your false positive rate of digital impostors for a false negative rate of legitimate businesses struggling with unreliab

One day, I will be working with someone who will have read this article when they were learning Go, and we will disagree about these three points. I was hoping someone would add their own opinion about these, so that when it happens, I can

I would vote this down if I could for the following reasons: - I prefer state-based TDD as opposed to interaction-based (see https://martinfowler.com/articles/mocksArentStubs.html ). - I've used both testcontainers

It could be just five or ten meters in each direction. For example this crossing always felt unsafe to me. The original crossing has been obstructed to prevent crossings and moved about 5 meters out, and it feels much safer now: https:&#x2
