It seems like golang designers are totally isolated from what's been happening in the last 30 years in languages design. They still insist on their weird way of error handling just like they were stubborn for years and years on the lac

You guys are too loud for a shitty meme generator website, probably you got the illusion of success and think you're entitled to spam us on HN every couple of days with your fake wisdom

Zuck does whatever the hell he wants to. He knows his baby is too big to fail now. It's like he owns the only cigarette company in the world where people are addicted to it by design. Facebook, a 500 billion dollar company, is nothing
