Good article. I learned long ago that, at least the case of your development environment, it’s best to install the latest upstream release instead of just relying on the system provided version. Go makes doing this extremely easy relative to some other languages out there.

These days, basically everything I can. With few exceptions, such as long form reading or writing (code or otherwise) I use my phone. There are certainly better experiences for some things on a computer with a traditional keyboard and mouse, but so much of the world has come around to the fact that most people use mobile devices that many of services are just as good, if not better experiences with a touch screen.

When I’m not at work or writing code for pleasure I’m on my tablet or phone, that’s it’s really.

I’m legitimately curious how many people have actually read their document. I just started the other day and I’m about 100 pages in. I’m glad to see people are starting to realize the amount of coordination going on within the far right. Straight up playbook for stacking the cards and consolidating power to the executive branch. Borderline unconstitutional type stuff.

100%. The rebranding of some HR departments as “People Officers” or “People Team” drives me bonkers. When push comes to shove, they will always protect the interests of the business before the interests of the employee. Full stop.

I’ve seen this posted in a few places and the use of the term “ingested” here continues to strike me as an interesting choice of wording.

The sad truth is that non-techy types will never want to host something themselves unless there’s a reason why doing so is better. I’m not just talking about better the way you and I think of better, either. Nobody really cares about privacy or security or ownership of data. A lot of people like to say those things matter but until it’s as easy to host your own email as signing up for gmail, and doing so provides all the fringe benefits you get with Google, you’re not going to get completely non-technical people self hosting.

You’re right, though. As part of this, there needs to be a way to have an all-in-one package that defaults to enabling the things you’re talking about. There are a lot of plug-n-play methods of self hosting any number of things, but the hard part of hosting is doing it right and securely.
