Go now defaults to attempting to fetch code dependencies from a proxy operated by Google before getting it from source. This feels a bit weird. By default, you are basically leaking the names of your dependencies when you build code.

Remember, open source means you can compile your own version if you don’t like the upstream. It absolutely does not mean you get to cajole the authors into including your own pet features.
As a hypothetical, suppose a fediverse client bans Nazis but you want a version that enables them. Download, modify, and compile that sucker! It’s open source: do what you think needs to be done. But you literally have no right to insist the author makes a pro-nazi precompiled version available for download.

"[T]he giant tech companies can make a credible claim to be the defenders of privacy, just like a dragon can truthfully boast that it is good at protecting its hoard of gold."
This morning isn't so much "technical debt" as "technical payday loan".

I wrote a blog post about the differences between JavaScript and iOS developers, from a hippy-dippy "we're all the same, but also different, let's learn from each other" angle. I hope you like it.
