@jmoiron Returning early[1] aka Guard Clauses[2] is a very common code review comment of mine. Putting error and edge cases first makes people more thoughtful of them. With #golang's defer, you don't need single-exit for cleanup.

@jmoiron @rugby_podcast love the pod, been listening since you joined gagr; your chat about rugby at the pub and nobody knowing what is going on really hit home as a yank in NYC where few non-expats even know what a "super rugby" is
@jmoiron @garychou We outnumber you by 140k so maybe it's a bad idea, but more importantly getting past the Queensboro is going to be an enormous pain in the ass
@jmoiron @PreetamJinka I've done this, it works.
@jmoiron No level of observability will keep your kafkaesque web of microservices from doing the wrong thing.
@jmoiron @bketelsen Green / Red / Yellow? Greylisting is a thing too.
@jmoiron @wernerdrew I think this is type/class unification + python3 bending over backwards to seem consistent. If you do `id(None) == id(my_none)` they are the same because it's a singleton https://t.co/L9fbt8uOyt
@jmoiron @jkupferman You can't travel at all on an expired passport, so if you were cutting it close on your trip and got sick or your flight was cancelled then you'd be stuck (illegally) in another country.
@jmoiron @jordanorelli True for so many values of X & Y community.
@jmoiron @jordanorelli I think current Go community answer is "pretend docker+k8s obviates this"
@jmoiron @kisielk If they respond to my support request on Twitter to recover my account without needing to log into my account to get support, then I'll pass it along.
@jmoiron @chimeracoder Well, clearly someone named "Queens" said that :) I do agree with you and with Nixon's response.
@jmoiron @chimeracoder ny post headlines are the worst

@jmoiron @PreetamJinka "It’s actually quite easy to have a package, struct, and variable all called item." riiiight
@jmoiron @LinkedInHelp your site no longer recognizes my email address but my information is still there. Every other avenue of help and contact is behind a signin wall, and I can't sign in. The password reset also doesn't recognize my email. What can I do?
@jmoiron @dgryski I gave _only_ the context at my perf talk, it's far more useful than the cliche: https://t.co/408PB4Av0w
@jmoiron @Sajma @copyconstruct @dimmer @rakyll I've always suspected (but never confirmed) that this dates back to at least https://t.co/QLJMboS6fi (1989)
@jmoiron The two most important execution contexts for your program are the brains of the people maintaining it and the computers that run it. The longer a program lives, the more likely it is that their importance is in that order.
@jmoiron @buckwilson Seriously: first-class 3-platform support + mobile, good headless, amazing cloud sync (extns, history, even open tabs on other devices), electron is hot bloated garbage but its still the best cross-platform dev target ever, massively pushed https & http2
@jmoiron @buckwilson Everything about Chrome is amazing except the browser part.
@jmoiron This quote is about the musical Hair, which made it to Broadway 50 years ago.
@jmoiron "The youth of America [..] started protesting all the things that they saw wrong with America: racism, environmental destruction, poverty, sexism and sexual repression, violence at home and the war [..], depersonalization from new technologies, and corruption in politics."
@jmoiron CI support for #golang has come a long way since Jan 2013; from zero to @travisci + @CoverallsApp via @mattn_jp's goveralls was really smooth, even for a repos that does integration tests against 3 databases: https://t.co/KFNTddb8WK
@jmoiron great group run by people who do great work, well worth it https://t.co/M1eM1mHhLA
