Similar results at my (reasonably large) company:

* 20% want to go back to the office

* 30% want to WFH forever

* 50% want the flexibility to WFH 2-3 days a week

It's quite surprising. Quilt is a very common tool, e.g. for Debian developers: https://wiki.debian.org/UsingQuilt

You should probably rename the pip package and the CLI tool to quiltdata to avoid conflicts.

Not true. I got a GC while being on an E-3 in the US.

It's not always logic bugs. For example, here's how you would limit your slice to max N elements:

    arr = arr[:N]

...compared how it has to be done to avoid a panic:

    if len(arr) > N {
        arr = arr[:N]
    }

Not a big deal though, just slightly more verbose.

It does make perfect sense, just goes against muscle memory from years of Python coding :)

The funny thing is that I knew it, but wrote `for v := range array` anyway at least a few times! My point is, it's not very intuitive. Thankfully, the compiler catches that, unless it's `[]int`.

It wouldn't be very helpful, the algorithm and the problem are very specific to Thumbtack.

That being said, we plan to extract and free common code as we use Go for more projects. We love free / open source software!

It's intentional. The update doesn't have to happen at the same time every week, we just wanted the model to be no more than 1 week old.

`time.Ticker` looks handy, I will definitely use it for another project.

That's in theory. In practice Amazon either subsidizes or doesn't have much of a mark up on the price of the Kindles; and hopes to make it up by selling DRM products.
