If I can't use the software without an active subscription, it is definitely not one and the same. I like Sublime Text's license of 3 years of upgrade with a purchase, no limitatio…

I'd take that a step further and require that the PR fixes an existing issue opened by a different user. Go ahead and fix a typo too if you want, but that alone won't get you a t-s…

Go's context is fine to signal cancellation, but it lacks a way to wait for that cancellation to complete gracefully. And the fact that it is also an arbitrary bag of values is con…

Thanks for sharing, good to hear stories from people that have done it.

I don't think you can expect a daily practice to have "an equivalent effect" to a 60-day retreat. I know there are 10-day retreats for vipassana meditation just about everywhere in…

Error handling does not obscure the business logic, it is very much part of the business logic.

Would be nice if the services' header linked to the official AWS product page.

I use them extensively for test cases (`cases := []struct{...} { ... }`) as mentioned in the slides. Also sometimes to marshal/unmarshal one-off json or xml payloads.
