Two things:

1. Nobody is entitled to venture capitalist funding. It is not an oddly named and run social works program.

2. VC funding is not a home run. It is not free money. If the only way you can launch a tech business is venture funding with the hope of hitting it out of the park before the funds’ cliff, perhaps consider if the return justifies the effort.

> At some level, the only way to get answers to these kinds of questions is to have the tool report data about how a tool is used to the maintainers of that tool.

This is frankly bullshit. Before always online telemetry there were there things called user groups, special interest groups, submissions, committees, etc.

You don’t need to surveil Go users to understand how they use the tooling, they’ll tell you, if you didn’t create an ivory tower around those who work (or have worked) for Google, and those who clearly aren’t worthy.

The fact this proposal is dead in the ground is an example that just because you could write a program to do a thing, one doesn’t need to write a program to do a thing.

Good riddance.
