This guy gets it.

We have come full circle. Clippy is back.... "It looks like you're trying to write a letter to your wife, would you like help with that?" OMG

How can one not have a whole giant mountain of cynicism with all we've become aware of in the last few years? We could just as easily turn the tables and call you irresponsibly naive.

I feel equally as bad that this person has been fed a narrative and hasn't gone out to debunk the propaganda and find out what is really going on behind the curtain. We can have a disagreement, sure, but when the argument is just shouting "sexist, racist, homophobe, xenophobe", etc. it's clear there's no real political discourse to be had, which is sad because there's a boatload of disgusting politics and corruption being exposed right now.

I build processor integrations and am working on several new ones now for EMV. I can confirm Square's pricing is ridiculous compared to what's out there. Bear in mind there are only like 6 companies in the US that actually process cards, but there are several thousand payment processing companies who are all taking a slice.

> I think a testing library can be a great addition, since it can turn a three-line if check into a one-line assertion.

Totally concur with this. I feel like all these people complaining about "bloated test frameworks" either haven't written a lot of tests, or are just fine with repeating themselves in test code, or they end up writing their own version of a test framework anew in every project. So much simpler and sane to grab an off the shelf solution for test code.

it sounds to me from reading that article that her use of it is somewhat problematic.

Thanks for the tip -- yea, I have go-plus installed. It is helpful, but still isn't ideal to have to save the file in the middle of trying to initialize a slice.

Use JetBrains 0xDBE -- still available now as early pre-release for free.

Most people don't get this and they over-engineer the f#$%k out of everything.
