   By this point nunaced and deliberate thinking on its own won't cut it. We need to reconsider serveral implied assumptions going back hundreds of years. But doing this in a way such that people (and institutional persons) don't ta

    there's something that I just don't get about golang modules, I don't know what it is but they don't click with me it might well be something tacit that golangers learn from each other directly? or otherwise it's so

    sometimes it's better to copy and paste some code only to make each copy diverge more and more over time (somewhat like a starting template) as opposed to introduction an abstraction to generalize some slightly different behaviors only

    it is a mistake to think that this happens due to a singular driving factor. In fact, such situation happens due to a large compounded number of "it's not my problem" and a lack of incentives to actually care. So I'm sa

    what's worse, this is a systemic issue not at all unique to facebook. it all started when every pizzeria became the best pizza in the city; and just goes off from there.
