Very fun read! You explain things in a really accessible way and your flow of consciousness style of writing is enjoyable!

I can't believe I didn't see this. Sorry!

Very cool article! I've been using Linux for years and I picked up a few new tidbits. Another option set for ls that rolls off the fingers via muscle memory is ls -rlt putting the most recently-modified file ( -r ) at the bottom where I can see it immediately.

Only having about 10 months of Go under my belt I feel like you can get an awfully lot of mileage out of the language without ever diving into using channels beyond what's used in packages at arm's length.

I love the lincoln death search example. :)

My favorite part was "... most self-taught developers out there will happily skip the understanding of Insert Sort until retirement." Brilliant.

I think there's room for both in any group. I would love to have someone who's an expert in language001 but having someone who's flexible in several languages is awesome too.

Hah, best answer ever.

Haha, this entire question makes me giggle. Now do you mean they're mashing the space bar 4x or they're letting their IDE convert tabs to spaces?

I didn't used to, but the software from JetBrains (and possibly other IDEs?) will notify you if there are any hanging around when you go to commit code and I find that it's a good reminder that I had some notes laying around. It won't stop you from committing, but it does give you an opportunity to review before you do.
