In the light of current events, I will first consult my pillow and only then write an article about readable code.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org The what? What happened? Do I want to know? 😭

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Sometimes, views on quality code are 180° apart.

Here we are, it took me a bit longer: https://lyse.isobeef.org/code-readability/

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Oh wow, we’re talking about such a detailed level. 🤔

I agree with most of what you said.

I probably would have written it like this:

// Arbitrary reference date.
//                   Y  m   d   H  M  S  nano
date := time.Date(2026, 6, 19, 17, 0, 0, 0, time.UTC)

Would this be better or worse? 😅
