Re: Sensei's Library
#2Sensei’s Library is one of the most comprehensive resources on any subject I’ve seen. Not only is it an exceptionally wide pool of knowledge, but excellently scales from beginner level information up to expert advice.

#3FTR Sensei's Library is all about Go (the game).

#4Wonderful resource, don't miss the excellent section on Go proverbs: https://senseis.xmp.net/?GoProverbs
A particularly lovely one: https://senseis.xmp.net/?UseGoToMeetFriends

#5Sensei's Library has been around since I first started playing Go back in the early 2000s. Not a single thing about it has changed, technology-wise, in that entire time; but the community is still adding content to it daily. I guess it's kind of like HN in that regard, but with twice the longevity.
It's a little corner of the internet I earnestly hope never goes away.

I ran a go club for years and from it 1) met most of current friends 2) helped two couples get together, 3 kids and counting 3) got connected to someone who eventually helped me get the best job I could ever find.
I think this happens because it functions as a type of personality test, and allows people to demonstrate diligence and curiosity without being as directly confrontational as chess. In a club setting it also helps around teaching; and having a clear ranking system allows relationships based on respect / status to form easily.

True, it's still a LAMP stack, migrating it to new PHP and MySQL (now MariaDB) versions every now & then, fixing a bug here and there, adding LetsEncrypt, switching from CVS to Mercurial to Git, etc. The last big feature I added was math formulas (2 years ago or so).
This project really told me how important it is to leave comments for your future self - especially, if your future self hasn't touched some parts of the code for 15 years :o)
Anyway, I'm approaching 50 now, so I assume that Sensei's will be here for at least another 25 years.

#9Great site, I've gotten into Go in a big way during the last year, and SL is still the best overall free resource after all these years.

You're the Sensei's guy? Thanks! I remember reading articles here when I was learning Go as a teenager 20 years ago.
