My talk from @GopherConSG 2019 is up! Check it out #golang friends!

[🧗‍♂️ Matt Holt @mholt6]

Excellent talk by @jcbwlkr about learning when #golang puts values on the stack or heap. Highly recommend this if you're looking to understand and optimize your Go program. https://t.co/8UuEsi9RjQ

@maria_fibonacci Have you seen these shirts? I think you'd like them

Sad news: A new hire decided moving to USA is too risky given current status on COVID-19, economy, prospects for higher education, and immigration policies. Posting their letter (w permission) so others can be aware of how the US is viewed now by this highly talented person (1/3)

@heathernew09 @igorasilveira - It's great for building APIs and command line tools.
- It's not my first choice for front ends.
- It helps teams be incredibly productive.
- It is very opinionated. People who fight "the Go way" will hate it. People who go with the flow will love it.

I wish the discourse on why America got steamrolled by this virus was a little less "people going out and having fun" and a little more "this country has no paid sick leave, our health care is a disaster, and the GOP isn't the only party prioritizing the economy"

I've come to the conclusion that the sole purpose of homework is to condition children into accepting that unpaid overtime and ridiculous hours and not even being able to escape work even in your own home are a normal things to expect in their future.

Department of Homeland Security doesn’t need to exist. That department should be closed and the funding needs to be redirected to public health services. We need to provide housing & healthcare for Americans, not kidnap children & assault protesters.

TODAY'S DEBATE: Should men be expected to go running in groups in case women attack them?

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

I don’t want to hear politicians share their fave John Lewis quote.

I want to know what they’ll do TODAY about police beating people in the street TODAY & the attack on voting rights that is happening TODAY & the racism that’s killing us TODAY.

Y’all can keep the rest. ✋😑

At some point, being a better engineer requires an investment into being a better person.

Good to see that white liberals have done to Angela Davis what they did to MLK: pushing one single thing she said as absolute gospel whilst ignoring every radical stance she’s ever had.

@nnja This is super quick and delish. Leave the cheese off the end and it's still great https://t.co/wiM7QrWSWg

[Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley]

The 13th Amendment outlawed slavery—with one big caveat: “except as a punishment for a crime.” For a century and half, that’s been used to re-enslave American citizens (disproportionately black men). So I’m introducing a Constitutional amendment to end this abomination.
