Oh look, Google being Google.
(In case you were thinking of learning/using Go, I’d say skip it. There are plenty of other fish in the sea. Unless you like telemetry by default in your programming languages and tools, that is. In fact, just don’t touch anything tainted by Google if you can help it.)

@aral "The modern answer is telemetry"
That right there is such a good illustration of the problem. It doesn't say that it's an *effective* answer, just that it's a *modern* answer, and well... that's probably because it isn't effective.
It's completely absurd how there's now basically an entire cult around trying to gain insight from telemetry, when we've known for a decade+ that this *just does not work* and surveying even just a couple of users will give you more reliable data.
But number must go up, apparently.
