jmoiron plays the blues

@jmoiron @davecheney it's absolutely got power, and values are literally baggage, but the spread of new `type.MethodContext` has a big cost too imho

@jmoiron https://t.co/vbtCLbvSz3 got 30-40% bigger to accommodate context, and most users were already taking one peek and going for an ORM

@jmoiron similarly, I like net/context a lot, but sprinkling it all over the stdlib is going to be painful and I don't think it helps most users

@jmoiron #golang alias proposal doesn't seem to solve enough problems to warrant the confusion it will introduce https://t.co/ys8tSJOiSR

@jmoiron @mcpalone I'd prefer the people who leave due to the lack of CoC to the people who stay because of it.

@jmoiron @mcpalone alright, I understand what you mean. I still hope we can turn it around somehow.

@jmoiron @paddyforan I'd wager it's a lot of peoples first point of contact for the wider community, so it's doubly damaging

@jmoiron @paddyforan thanks for that, maybe not knowing the larger context makes certain patterns of behaviour harder to see

@jmoiron @mcpalone that's way worse, it's unacceptable :(

@jmoiron @paddyforan to be honest I don't know much about this context, I only engage in r/golang (and an unrelated rugby subreddit)

@jmoiron @paddyforan damian has done a hell of a lot to try and make it into something everyone can be proud of, 1000x anything I've done

@jmoiron @paddyforan I think people who are not engaged with r/golang only see the worst of it, the day to day tone is salvageable imho

@jmoiron @paddyforan it suffers badly from years of absentee moderation and reluctance to allow non-google employees moderation

@jmoiron @paddyforan @mcpalone @davecheney yeah, it's just discouraging to see people I respect a lot say "nuke it from orbit"

@jmoiron @mcpalone @paddyforan @davecheney as someone who tries to make positive contributions there this made me feel awful

@jmoiron @buckwilson btw if you like jazz a lot and don't listen to bossa nova then you're missing out on a small but wonderful world of excellence

@jmoiron @buckwilson yea or charlie parker, coltrane, thelonious monk.. I suspect they reach technical heights but are just not celebrated

@jmoiron @buckwilson super into that too, had a jazz band at my wedding! but any old list of standards generally does it for me :\

@jmoiron @buckwilson np, this covers the chill/rainy/whisky side, if you want funky/dancy stuff check out genres "future funk" / "french house"

@jmoiron @buckwilson I also really like visioneers dirty old hip hop https://t.co/0WJeXr9OBC

@jmoiron @buckwilson ya i don't make this shit up, jazz-hop is neo enough for me.. for a particular artist i quite like https://t.co/epNZVWthh5

@jmoiron @buckwilson otherwise if you like instrumentals ("neo jazz-hop") check out @arotomusic's mixes https://t.co/ERufdxPBlx

@jmoiron @buckwilson marcus D for sure, if you liked eg. metaphorical music https://t.co/Znh3w5MdOl

@jmoiron autocomplete is a dumb feature for "pros" but look at github and tell me we won't use better access to emoji

@jmoiron @davecheney that's pretty vague.. are you saying that replacing a keyboard that's fine with one that is bad is like.. power steering?
