I am so fucking sick of “Oops!” And “Oh No!” In error messages.
“omg bestie I’m like, sooooooo sorry, there was an error but I’m afraid that’s my little secret ;) try again dickhead”
Please just tell me there was an authentication error. So I can Google it. And provide useful information to your exhausted support team.
Go first came onto my radar about 9 years ago when I came across MuMax during my PhD studies. While I’ve touched it briefly, I wouldn’t consider myself to have used it in anger until recently, when I started a job that uses it as one of it’s primary languages for API development. I’ve had experience in writing C and C++ code, but more recently I’ve done a lot of Python, so going back to Go has felt oddly like a throwback to those compiled languages I’ve used before, with a bit of modern sparkle.
OK, I got on the styling-my-#RSS-feeds & creating a /feeds page train 🚂

🎉 Random indieweb inspiration for the day: My daughter's college Advertising PR class is hand editing HTML+CSS for a project "about me" assignment in VSCode -- and that is so cool -- and it was one of the best "hey dad, guess what we are doing today" text messages of all time #indieweb #prouddad
It may seem silly, but go run is my favorite part about go. Want to run your code? go run main.go. It is so stupidly simple that I could tell my mom about this command, and she would immediately understand. Like with most things in go, the real power in this command is in the effortless understanding of how to build and run everyone’s code.
But I can run node main.
Ah, another day on the Fediverse. What should be sup on today?
**spins the wheel**
The pointer spins round and around, past “everyone sends you pictures of their pets”, “you live post about this weeks mental breakdown”, “death threats” and “a nice simple conversation with a new mutual”
It slows; moving gently past “spam wave”, “blocking is abuse” and “John Mastodon”
Inching closer to its destination you hold your breath, it seems like it’s landing on “meta conversations about meta conversations” but you hope it will be “you will spend the day local-only posting to the people on your instance, checking in with them and asking how they’ve been”
Alas, the pointer has picked its target.
“admins can read your DMs btw”

I dunno how new this is but The Guardian seems to have stripped all social media cruft from their byline header stuff and replaced it with a “Copy Link” button.
Rather than change the Twitter buttons to Xs they just got rid of the whole farce. Nice to see.
