> So I'll happily work 50 hour weeks instead of 40 hours

But why? If your contract says 40/wk is expected, then just work that and set targets based on that. Why give your employer 500+ hours per year of your life that you don't owe them?

Weird, I had no issues with the built in display on Ubuntu 20.04, but I had to update the kernel to 5.8 to get display out over USB-C to work. Now that Ubuntu 20.10 is out and uses 5.8, I'm just using that so I don't have to mess with custom, unsigned kernels.

But not everything is a monolithic REST web app. Sometimes you have many different components -- from CLI apps to serverless functions -- and having a lean but powerful stdlib is amazing, especially with builin type safety, consistent lining, and cross-platform native binaries easily under 10MB.

Not specifically Go related, but I am consistently annoyed that Helm's templating is a _very_ thin abstraction over Go's templating which has many drawbacks in that context.

And when you do this, DO NOT serve up the feedback form/popup from some advertising domain, otherwise developers with ad lockers (many, if not most) won't even see it.

Having zero downtime updates is quite nice. For example, I can set FluxCD to pin to a feature release of Nextcloud, and it will automatically apply any patch updates available. Because of the zero downtime updates, this can happen at any time and I won't have any issues, even if I'm actively using Nextcloud as it's happening.

Security is much more than safety from invasions from other nations. It is a guaranteed safety net for when things go wrong; this covers everything from health care, to unemployment, to services for the homeless, and yes it includes helping businesses that collectively employ tens of thousands of people in times of crisis.
