It's funny that some people want to treat people differently based solely on their skin colour. Or are they claiming there are other differences at play, that are mainly noticeable through the skin color?

Does "diversity" mean differences in skin color?

Let's say that I find it annoying when people "missbehave", like people letting their dogs shit wherever and not cleaning up, or just commonly being selfish and rude.

How do I now understand myself better? Is the point that the problem is somehow in me or what does this advice mean?

They seem to be well reasoned. What are these misleading statements?

His main point is usually about the massive unwarranted hype and blind hero worship around these concepts, and usually scams (the water stuff and other kickstarter projects).

The truth hurts, I guess.

So if NATO put troops in ukraine to just defend it (not attacking pro-actively russian forces or territories), what would happen?

Is the scare now that Putin is so mad that he would immediately start nuking random NATO cities around the world if that happened?

Also, these "magical" landings have been made 60 YEARS AGO! Go Musk! Hyperloop! FSD! Robotaxis! Semi! VTOL with pressurized air! Tesla robot! Pedo guy!

And reusability has its own problems, like lowering the amount of payload by 25% (you need to save fuel for re-entry).

You can maybe get 10-20% savings if you ever get it working (see previous failed attempts...).

NOT Musk promised 100x price reduction for launches, that will never happen.

There has to be some sensible ratio of bullshit/vision.

You still have interface methods? I had problems navigating a new codebase and find the places "actually doing things". Some object was passed in somewhere which mysteriously implemented a one method interface defined on the spot in the other go file. I.e. the implementation had no relation to the interface which was obvious without a lot of searching and finding the right implementation.

Also passing in functions (callbacks?) all over the place is a little messy at least for a newbie. It was hard to find where the functions where called and at what point and how the program flowed.

(this is hard to explain but maybe somebody gets the point...)

edit: somebody else touched on what I also meant: " duck typing make refactoring and understanding new codebases error prone"

Also the modules and dependencies management surely is a joke? Pulling stuff from github willy-nilly? Quite bad in any case when compared to maven where you have a local repository with all the dependencies (so they don't change or disappear from the internet so that you can actually build your software 5 years later, exactly in the same way)
