Don't. Most of these roles are not ethical.
Lol like ordinary programmers have a such a great ethical reputation... Cambridge Analytica, Ad Platforms, and on and on.

Inbefore I go to a new job and find out that they are using outdated, custom patched go compiler.
> I mean, there are 5000+ issues and 330 open PRs on the go github right now
How do they know which ones are affecting the most users?

go is open source, feel free to compile it yourself without the telemetry. Which distros will do if any major promises would be broken
There's a lot of 'just' handwaving here about compiling without telemetry. We just need to look as far as VSCode, which is riddled with unremovable telemetry, and the entire project of VSCodium which has to exist to provide telemetry free versions, and still cannot remove all of it. You're discounting the complete waste of human time and effort required to undo something that should simply not exist in the first place.
In terms of the open GH issues, people are pretty vocal about which ones they think are most important to fix, as is the case for most popular projects. It's simply not true that the Go team have no way of knowing which of the open issues are most important to the community.

First two of these examples may be on the religious or yak shaving end of debates, where the best practice is probably not an absolute.
1. There are code bases and PRs where coalescing many small changes into one "this changes how we do this" commit is encouraged when it's a semvar level change requiring coordinated edits to keep working, rather than a purely iterative change.
2. Most research shows universal unit test coverage is lower ROI than judicious coverage of intefaces and risks.
If many of your discussions fall in this zone, it's possible you, yourself, may be taking guidelines as too black and white.
Meanwhile ...
3. That one is just bad.
Do you have source on item #2? I've been looking for some to back this point, but can't find any.
I went from Ruby on Rails, then Javascript/Typescript to finally land at Clojure in 2019 and I'm not looking back.
Clojure has been a perfect fit for my needs, very similar to what you describe, and neither Rails nor JS have been able to match that.
With Clojure/Clojurescript you get:
- sane, single lang for both backend and frontend (much more seamless than JS/node),
- REPL-Driven-Development - immediate feedback loop translating to huge productivity boost,
- a very refreshing approach to programming,
- access to both two largest ecosystems JVM, npm and of course clojure's own amazing libraries,
- vibrant and diverse community, converging people from all different programming backgrounds,
- much, much more.
Rails and Django are a bit tied to 2005ish MVC paradigm and while it's reliable and gets job done, it comes with compromises on flexibility and user experience - making it hard to be competitive in 2022 as a solo founder. Clojure on the other hand is known for empowering single/few developers to outcompete much larger teams.
Seriously, forget about Rails and Django and just focus on Clojure.
The last time I looked into the state of the art when writing web apps in Clojure, people were hand crafting SQL statements in the data layer, and the community seemed fine with this. Have things improved?
Elixir is like the alternate town in Blazing Saddles. It looks great but you find out there aren’t really people nor library depth there. After it blows up your staffing and project plans you end up moving back.
Yeah, Elixir is great, but zealots keep acting like it's happening, and it is totally not happening.

I'd be quite interested how he meets the power requirements, is he using electric dryers? I feel like a vans alternator has no hope of running 1 let alone 2 of them. Also what does the freshwater/wastewater system looks like?
In the video below, he mentions they are gas powered driers.
I've never understood or been able to relate to the seemingly common intense curiosity as to cause-of-death. Is it related to the desire to fit names we know into a narrative structure that lets us reason about them as entities? It seems like an irrelevant detail, to me personally.
The desire to know is usually in proportion to the unexpectedness. Perhaps its an evolutionary curiosity (Avoid how they died)?
Current version is over at https://owl.so but the local first native app (Owl/2) is about to hit beta real soon.
