Keeping sanity with Go modules and updates Said 18 Jan 2026
The delay imposed by a dependency cooldown gives registries and security researchers time to catch and remove malicious packages before they reach downstream users.
First, registries and security researchers are constantly scanning for threats; that delay gives them time to catch and remove bad packages before they reach you.
Keeping sanity with Go modules and updates Said 18 Jan 2026
There will always be early adopters who update immediately, acting as canaries for problems in newly released software.
Second, there will always be "bleeding edge" users acting as canaries.

What is a korrent?
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
