I think dependency management generally is madness, highlighted by things like left-pad. But golang's 'go mod vendor' is a good feature and a step in the right direction. On one side, there needs to be a balance between giving the programmer control - not being victim to disappearing packages - and allowing them to pull upstream updates. On the other side, programmers need to start taking responsibility for the code they use: dependencies aren't for free. I think the future of dependency management is somewhere between these two sides. #programming

Rings true to me:
"Hard fact.
The majority of the people you work with don't actually care how good you are at your job.
They care about your ability to collaborate and avoid unnecessary drama."
"Teachings need be related to as prompts for spiritual practice and inquiry, not as monolithic and ultimate statements of reality." https://myemail.constantcontact.com/Retirement-Announcement.html?soid=1126600191855&aid=2-xCMqh-t-s
Actually the rest of the paragraph is worth posting: "Teachings need be related to as prompts for spiritual practice and inquiry, not as monolithic and ultimate statements of reality. I have met just as many nondual fundamentalists as any other type of fundamentalist, and always with the same close-minded certainty and underlying fear that all fundamentalists share. A totally certain mind is a closed and protected mind; a mind that is essentially afraid of the immensity of the reality it claims to know. It is vital to understand that deep spiritual practice has a lot more to do with conceptual unknowing than knowing. Wisdom is fully embodied and digested experience, not simply concepts in relationship to still more concepts."

Seems I was wrong. About another article:

"All the govt said was "we'll only force scanning when it's "technically feasible" to do so" - i.e. when someone believes the CSAM scanning quality is high enough beyond some given threshold."
