I took some time to collect my thoughts on the age-old argument: what explains the aversion to assertion-based testing frameworks in Go?

In particular:

1. Where did the tension come from?
2. How could it have arisen?
3. What is the philosophical basis for it
4. What are the implications of using one of these frameworks?
5. How does the assertion framework question fit in the overall psychological preference space of software developers?

At this point in my life, I'd prefer to work through merge conflict markers by hand in a text editor without any sort of fancy GUI or other weird magic presentation.

Just show me the damned conflict, and let me work it out as text in the usual way.

Your GUI that re-arranges everything in terms of "yours" and "theirs" can die in a fire. I ain't got the energy to keep track of how that shit gets reversed in a rebase versus another flow.

I was laid off on Monday. Going to miss that team fiercely and I wish them all the best!

Anyone looking for a remote infra software eng/ #devops who likes working on platforms? I've most recently worked with #kubernetes, #terraform, #golang, and #puppet , in a #hybrid environment between #onprem and #cloud #infrastructure , spanning 4 continents. I've built out and maintained clusters throughout their lifecycles, architected and built out tooling and automation, and integrated with service-owning teams, all to ship reliable and secure products to market.
