    I got a knife for Christmas so I’ve been going around finding out what’s cake or not. Most things aren’t cake so far.

    When GitHub goes down, we all get to go home early. When Google goes down, we don't know how to even get home.

    Thinking of leaving Go because generics is now officially coming to the language? I broke out my guitar, and my pale face and channeled my inner Lin-Manuel Miranda. With lyrics from @_rsc, @FiloSottile and even @golang. (I'm as embarrassed as you are.)
