That's fair! The point about shared cross-cutting concerns still applies, but yeah, that's a fair point - thank you for pointing that out!

Well, no, they don't _want_ you to be vendor neutral. But they allow and support you to do so - unlike DataDog.

That sounds more like moving the goalposts. The claim (via sarcastic comment) was that people do not simply push code that they do not understand - and I provided a counter-example. No-one in that conversation disagrees that that's a b

This is a very long post to say "Go's Error Handling would be better if it was like Rust's, but the language designers made a mistake early-on and now we don't want to fix it"

> insurance can’t deny the claim based solely on the fact that you performed the work yourself _This_ is the claim that is extraordinary. I'm not saying that the government would bust down my door for doing work on my own home, but

Ironic that you mention ChatGPT in the same comment as answering a question about a phrase that I was explicitly _not_ asking about.

That makes sense, thank you!

That's helpful, thank you!

I wasn't talking about getting the keys wrong, but rather the insane verbosity of GoLang - `myVariable := retrievedObject.(map[string]interface{})["firstLevelKey"].(map[string]interface{})["secondLevelKey"].(string)

Good points, thank you! I'm lucky enough that I don't really need to worry about operating cost because I self-host the few things I have built and am nowhere near maxing out my hardware, but your point is well made. Although... &

Amen. I was unreasonably opposed to TypeScript at first after lots of bad experiences with messy JavaScript when I was first learning development - but after immersing myself in it for a year or so at $NEW_JOB, I absolutely love it. The onl

Uh huh....and what comes next? Trying to descend more than a couple of layers into a GoLang JSON object is a mess of casts.

A high density of "things that Hacker News people dislike" in a single comment - bold! (FWIW I personally really like Cloudflare and think that a lot of their hate is unjustified. Warp is probably a good place for a new-to-program

Hmm - it looks like a(n NPM) workspace _can_ be used inside a monorepo, but that there's nothing _requiring_ it to be so used. Why can't the packages inside the workspace be separate repos?
