Not me. And that’s not a brag. It is probably not a productive way to think using modern toolsets. But in my world, if you can copy a few things, you should definitely expect someone to copy a shitload of things or at the very least, document clearly and with rich error messages what went wrong.

Likewise, I tend to get nervous when I can’t explicitly handle out of memory conditions, and the problem is I’m a Go programmer. It kind of bothers me that there’s no standard way to deal with that on my end with built-in data structures such as maps and strings. This is probably sheer paranoia because most modern systems have plenty of memory… But it still leaves me uneasy.
