    Others have answered this better than I, but I'll tell you what I've seen: - grpc-go and gopls had great "Contributors welcome" issues set up. For both of them, I had to email/chat…

    I imagine it's not appropriate for startups, since they're burning money fast and mental health appppears to be less of a priority? I've not worked at one, so hard to say. Besides …

    I've been at Google for 3 years and have 20%ed the entire time I've been there on: grpc-go, Drive, and Go tools (gopls, etc). I think it's fantastic. The whole 120% thing is up to …

    Semver is very clear on what a minor vs a major change means. > the majority of software in use today uses version numbers - they are most often used to denote new features, which …

    Thanks, this is good feedback. In general, I reckon having a variety of documentation is great, so also would like more of "how" documentation. I believe the tutorials that are in …

    Hiyo, I'm one of the co-authors of https://blog.golang.org/v2-go-modules . One of the takeaways from this article was, "there needs to be more documentation", and I think I can spe…

    What in the world. This is incredible. Could we have a blog post about how this is achieved? Is there webassembly involved?

    Where are you getting 90% from? AFAICT it's closer to 50% or 60% [1] [2]. And, note, that deal was only a 4 year deal from 2017-2021 [1]. It's not like a decades-old source of reve…

    Let's please not upvote this. It is _not_ a "standard" go project - it doesn't even have a go.mod. Furthermore, it is in an org called "golang standards", when in reality it and it…

    I used "fairness" because it appears in most definitions of the anti trust regulation. A "level playing field" is 100% not the point of antitrust laws. Sidenote: I don't believe an…

    > The point of antitrust regulations is to stop the anti-innovation practices Is that true? That doesn't match the definition of any antitrust regulation I'm aware of. AFAIK antitr…

    I generally just stick to net/http. In both small projects and large enterprise-y projects it's served well. I think most Go devs are roughly of similar opinion at this point.

    YES. Absolutely yes. I _hated_ this aspect of working with AWS. Also, documentation always came off as "generic" and "wordy" without being "useful" - a huge, huge article that migh…
