@jmoiron Jess has put together a great list. I personally love asking people teach me what they have been learning. I learn, they learn through teaching, it reinforces humility and approachability as virtues, and signals to others that no one knows everything and that's ok. https://t.co...

@jmoiron @rugby_podcast Dan Carter surely
@jmoiron "If the struct you’re defining the method on is very large, copying it would be far too expensive than using a value receiver." This advice is theoretically true but false in practice. You need measurements (benchmarks + production impact) before deciding based on this.
@jmoiron @elithrar What people really want is local simplicity, even at the cost of global complexity. Go makes the opposite tradeoff a lot, where global simplicity comes at the cost of persistent trivial local complexity (if err != nil ...), and it's the #1 source of complaints.
@jmoiron I've heard the same of java, grid computing, cloud computing, emr, serverless... It's a risky business. https://t.co/SgP6GBq6VI
@jmoiron Kia kaha.
@jmoiron @bryanl Accidentally some words! But really a tree (filesystem) of trees (yaml) with multiple nested templating languages interacting is too complex to bear. "People want that control" is the ASM fallacy; the literature is full of ppl who thought C would not overtake asm/fort...
@jmoiron @bryanl Rethink. High level programming languages are not a set of macros on top of the underlying implementation language, they provide a set of semantics "requires attention to the irrelevant."
@jmoiron "Many of us are also engaged in “startup community” activities that frankly boil down to little more than drinking together and trying to sell each other on a vision of success that none of us are living." https://t.co/rgCGeMWjAB
@jmoiron @davecheney is this a kiwi accent joke
@jmoiron The response to @peterbourgon's 100% valid comment on Mastadon installation reqs (https://t.co/4wQMmsnmrr) exposes the distribution problem of traditional web applications as being so ingrained that it has become invisible. I'd bet many of these same people hate electron apps.

@jmoiron They forgot the Dunder Mifflin letterhead on this Idera TravisCI email.
@jmoiron @jmikola @AmbassadorAwsum @RocketFizz That's nearly 12 years ago. A deep cut :) I can't say I brought back any limited edition novelty Pepsi on my most recent trip.
@jmoiron @jmikola @AmbassadorAwsum @RocketFizz Let me know how the cucumber compares to Pepsi Ice Cucumber.

@jmoiron I think hierarchical OOP type systems train people to build software components by focusing on modeling the problem space rather than on what interface to expose. That model then becomes the interface, but it's not abstracted anything; it's just a taxonomy.
@jmoiron Seconded. #travisAlums https://t.co/nB6RZz0RJZ
@jmoiron @francesc @elithrar My optimistic speculation on this was "As [we] work with both contracts and interfaces, they might start to resolve into more obviously separate concepts ... go beginners tend to overuse channels [and later learn] when to use mutexes instead." IYHO, has this...
@jmoiron @elithrar @francesc I'm slightly skeptical wrt "trust the compiler" type performance stuff because it can be difficult to control for. There's some butterfly effect already eg. with escape analysis; change a seemingly benign thing and escape analysis fails and perf tanks.
