I'll join the minimalists here. For the past decade, I've only had about 6 shirts, two pair of denim pants, one pair of boots, 4 pairs of socks, a rain coat and a jacket. I go through one pa…

How does it get to this stage where someone has to write up a hostile post to get across this point? Have the maintainers been too nice/polite and/or accommodating and now resent it in face …

The awesome go-cli package makes it trivial to generate man pages [1] based on the commands/flags. This can be easily added to CI to avoid having to maintain a separate man page. [1]: https:…

Elon recently in an interview with Tim Dodd, said: "At SpaceX, we make the impossible late". In hindsight, nothing is impossible but before SpaceX did any of the routine things they do now, …
