that's not at all accurate of any of the monoliths I've worked on. This in particular describes exactly zero of them: - one shared database Usually there's one data access interface, but behind that interface there are multip

lol the arrogance. Hilarious. there are tools to do this, they’re not widely used because it doesn’t fit Go well. You’re trying too hard to write Go in the style of another language. If you want an exhaustive type switch that badly, it’s us

you can make an exported interface with an unexported method in it and voila, nobody else can implement it. That’s just broadly not that useful so it doesn’t come up a lot.

I hate this pattern too but there's not "no good reason", there's a specific reason why it's like this, and it's a conscious design choice. When you call `go get somedomain.com/whatever/thing`, what i

the fact that the set of types that can satisfy an interface is open is the source of their power. "closed interfaces" are broadly an antipattern in Go.

with generics you wind up with two parameter lists, and type parameters have metatypes. All type parameters need to have a metatype, and the metatype `any` comes up a lot. Once you start using generics you'll start to feel the pain of

The thing about "functions should be X lines long" is that an appropriate value for X differs substantially from industry to industry, language to language, and domain to domain. My game code (mostly C#/unity stuff) often has

people aren't paying huge sums of money for a collaborative virtual graffiti wall, they're paying huge sums of money to signal that they have huge sums of money. People have been doing that for centuries.

nothing I said precludes the ability to also transfer money, so I'm really not sure what you're getting at there.

The whole thread is that taking an object from one simulation to another is not really the opposite of having distinct simulations: it just forces us to reconcile with what an object is . The only way you can have separate simulations is

there's only one metaverse, and there's only one economy in the metaverse. I'm not advocating that you should be moving game objects between games, that's a distinct concept (and probably not a very useful one). https:&
