I just sent like 22 goddamn e-mails without needing to PAUSE or take a BREAK

*proceeds to send an email CCing 23 people writing "as per my last email this issue is still present*

@thephd@pony.social the sequel to short skirt long jacket is a bop!

@thephd I find once I start writing emails it is actually easy to write multiple, so sometimes I collect them before doing them all in one sitting

Incidentally, this is one of the central points of the Go article that keeps getting posted to HN and causing a flamewar each and every time from
@fasterthanlime; Go reduces complexity and makes things "simple" by just making it your/someone else's problem.

And it's absolutely not any better in terms of workability or final product.

@thephd I've stopped chasing simplicity in favour of a sort of 'oneness' that I've seen emerge from good software: where the ends are all neatly tied up, where the semantics of components are clear and cognizant, where there's a sort of ineffable harmony and you just *know* by looking at it and understanding it that it's going to pass any unit test you throw at it. Neither complex nor simple, but sufficient for the problem domain. Type systems help a lot with getting there, but aren't essential.

@thephd after starting a job in corporation I found out how many patterns of similar behaviour are shared between it and open source world. With distinction that corporations actually pay you for something that can only be described as trench warfare while open source demands that you do it in free time for free. That's why I no longer participate in open source "fun".

@thephd damn. Why do all the good and mature languages seem to just reject reflection these days?

@thephd that's horrendous.
So sorry you had to go through this.

@thephd it’s bizarre how frequently I hear of organizational/political machinations with the Rust project that cast a shadow on it all. It’s too bad people don’t seem to know how to behave professionally.
