Still don't get why Go simultaneously picked this and introduced defer

Still shame they didn't pick it for desktop and we had to wait years for a quality alternative client like Flare.

And then for no good reason a "FOSS" app's binary grows by a couple MB...

can't you do that on a self-hosted searxng? I know you can do that with YaCY, but YaCY search results kinda suck

don't use Google, problem solved

what did the proprietary LLMs do to people...

Sometimes you'd use defensive programming (type checker, exception handling, null safeguards, fallback/optional values) which can be argued as a sort of in-place testing, so testing can be not as beneficial to your projects' robustness as the readability of their core business logic. And some languages would lean more heavily towards defensive programming (e.g. Go, Scala or well written Typescript) and some would rely more on tests but also be designed in a way that makes testing really easy as they seek to keep things loosely coupled (Elixir or Clojure).

Also if your language doesn't have a quality REPL to reliably test things manually, there is a relatively high chance you debugging process is causing you to waste more time than having a good test coverage.

This. I can't count HOW MANY FUCKING TIMES I had to either look up the source code or search GitHub for code using a function from a given library because the documentation was so laconic and/or disjointed.
