Also this push to measure everything means that anything that can’t be measured isn’t valued. One of your teammates consistently helps unblock everyone on the team when they get stuck? They aren’t closing as many tickets as others so they g

Obviously every type system in practice has escape hatches. But I’ve never seen another staticly-typed language where you need to break out of the type system so regularly. Go’s type system has your back when you’re writing easy stuff. But

Checking out the first example—object pools—I was initially blown away that this is not only possible but it produces no warnings of any kind: pool := sync.Pool{ New: func() any { return 42 } } a := pool.Get() po

Suburbs have sidewalks but nowhere to walk to . Yes, counterexamples exist. But the vast majority of American suburbia is quite like what you describe: isolated homes with very low density where the only way to get to anything you’d want t
