A senior engineer with a perfectly stable 50k line Go lang backend walked into a bar. The bartender asked, "Rough day?"

The engineer sighed. "Rough year. Management just told us to rewrite it all in Rust, and to 'accelerate' the process, we have to use AI." 🤖

The bartender poured a triple. "Accelerate what? The inevitable career change?" 😏

@nixCraft That's fine, 50k lines of Go means 10k lines of actual code since the rest is error handling, he can do that in a weekend

You say that as though errorhandling is a bad thing.

@oz1tmm @nixCraft No, it's just that Go's error handling is famous for being very verbose.
