Thank you, Rob Pike, for posting this.
I am in a different field, and of little importance in that field, so it is preposterous of me to comment here, forgive me. But I wish to express how much energy I gain from reading your post.
The wave of inauthenticity is all-encompassing. I spent some four decades as a university teacher, with immense pride, only to see the very notion of teaching and education destroyed before my eyes. My friends in other professions experience the same.
I still hope for reversal.
Your message is one of sadness and loss, but is also a sign of resistance. As one of the true pathbreakers and arbiters of good taste in your field and beyond, your voice gives strength to others who try to hold on to notions of authenticity, simplicity, elegance, humility.
We pray these professional values will survive the long winter we are currently experiencing.

Pike on debugging and The One True Fact.
"There's a bug. What's the ONE thing you know, for a fact? You know for a fact that that bug happened. [...] That is a FACT. And whatever else that fact tells you, it's really important to figure out why it happened. You start from the fact that the failure occured and what that failure tells you about the work." [around 26:30 in the recording]
Oh, such a beautiful, graceful talk. Full of bits of wisdom, small and large, about software, about work and collaboration, about personal development for the long haul. Presented with wit and warmth. Beautiful. Thank you for sharing!

"We must understand their properties and how to choose and combine wisely, but we must ignore most of the detail and depend on intuition [...]."
Beautifully put. The art of making.

Unfortunately it's all the fault of the #usbif. USB C is great in theory and I love using one cable to charge everything from my headphones through my phone to the laptop, and a lot more. The problem is that a lot of features are just optional and there is no clear or required labeling for manufacturers, everything just looks the same: cheap cable that supports USB2 and 10W charging = USB4 50gbps cable that can handle 200W of power if you only look at the cable

"Complexity just happens, and its costs are literally exponential.
On the other hand, simplicity takes work --- but it's all up front.
Simplicity is very hard to design, but it's easier to build and much easier to maintain. By avoiding complexity, simplicity's benefits are exponential."Brilliant analysis in this talk, relevant to so many fields. Thank you!

A giant in applied computer science left. His largely timeless work will be remembered by the present generations. My condolences go out to the family and friends.

@climagic Somewhat related: in a #GooglePlus post by #RobPike, he explained a bit about how dotfiles came to be hidden: https://web.archive.org/web/20190324222536/https://plus.google.com/101960720994009339267/posts/R58WgWwN9jp?hl=en
