💌 A valuable message from Russ Cox |
Over on the golang-dev mailing list, Russ Cox posted a valuable message: Go development is not isolated from world events; work on Go always comes second to more basic concerns like personal and family health and safety. Nearly all of us are working at reduced capacity these days. I expect that capacity to drop further over the next few months. The above is just a quick summary of the main points, but it's also worth reading in full. Thanks Russ. |
