  • I switched companies. I started go when replacing php at a previous company. I wanted to do rust at the time, but my options from the CTO were go or newer php (we were 5.x IIRC). I chose go.

    My current company decided on go before I started. There’s some python ml stuff and some other things in functional languages, but we’re primarily go. I don’t know why specifically it was chosen. The old codebase was a bit of go and the original legacy in Ruby. I’m definitely glad they decided to move away from Ruby slowly (and compleltely in the new codebase).








  • One of my teammates used AI (our company heavily encourages it) to write code. It did what it was supposed to and the tests passed, but it was the most ugly and unmaintainable shit ever. For one example, I don’t want to have to untangle a for i = 0; i++; i <= len(foo) {} that has multiple ifs inside that separately increment and decrement the loop counter i when trying to troubleshoot an issue.






  • Analysts have compared the 2025 boycott to previous consumer movements, including the renaming of french fries to “freedom fries” in the United States during 2003 when France opposed the invasion of Iraq.[4]

    As someone who was an adult in the US at the time, these things are not remotely comparable in size or scope. Freedom fries was as a concept was mocked even within groups that were in favor of the war and angry at France (at least where I was).
