> If I do want to stick this out and turn this team around, I'm going to be working nights and weekends for at least a year - there's just too much to fix.

Is it worth though? For whom are you fixing the issues? For the coworkers who will leave while you're still refactoring? For the charismatic boss? Your own personal pride? Also, is the work worth your overtime? If they staff "idiots", do they deserve your free time on the weekend?

I applaud you for being able to care so much in what you describe is a terrible team.

> We’ve also introduced pruned module graphs in this release. Modules that specify go 1.17 or higher in their go.mod file will have their module graphs include only the immediate dependencies of other Go 1.17 modules, not their full transitive dependencies.

This is a very welcome change and make the go.mod much more obvious to understand. Hooray!

My team has the same reaction when someone references our CoC.

Maybe the Firefox devs will at some point have mercy and undo this change to the tab bar. Maybe they can sell it in version 95 as a "fresh new idea to improve usability".

> also totally free with ads revenue is an option

Would that mean showing ads on stream during the meeting?

Same here. I think these effects could get annoying super fast and turn many meetings into memetings.

> They don't have the awkward dash ('-') to mess with url encoding

Can you explain what you mean by that? I have experienced issues with " " as "+" vs. "%20", but dashes... ?

> and after 500 MB (~5000 pictures?), just buy another one and replace it!

That sounds very wasteful, to throw hardware away because a subscription ended.

I can't wait to see how people game this system and get Twitter-style "verified fresh and true" badges on screenshots of Mein Kampf.

We are doomed.

Funny enough, I only get a 403 Forbidden error when opening that website. And I am located in Germany with a German IP. Though my server at Hetzner (also in Germany) has no problem retrieving contents from that domain.

If I had a BLAKE3 implementation available in the programming language of choice, is there any reason to still prefer the SHA family over it (for integrity checks, not for password hashing, as mentioned in the readme)?

GitHub's dependabot is causing a ton of "spam" in our frontend (Angular) repositories, as it seemingly opens 1-5 PRs per day to bump random dependencies. I really hope this does not become common practice for our Go repositories.

Is there an option to tell dependabot "make one PR per week at most, please, and bundle your changes"?
