If it's for your children, why does it need to exist digitally for 100 years and not, say, 20?
The solution is to print out your writing, put the pages in plastic sleeves, and clip them into binders. Keep the copies in filing cabinets in separate physical locations. It's a one-time cost that isn't subject to digital media issues. You can't accidentally delete the writing or lock yourself out of an account that stores the files like you can with a digital copy
Reminds me of when Google's SEO spokesman Matt Cutts was around recommending that all sites have separate desktop and mobile versions, then Google started penalizing sites by tanking their pagerank shortly afterwards for not having just one version because Google wanted to push responsive design
To be fair, the author says it's the "_supposed_ difficulty of writing err != nil" and says that the verbosity isn't an issue here. But he also earlier says that he "[hates] having to write pub all the time in Rust" to denote public visibilities. So typing seven extra characters in one place = tolerable, but four extra characters elsewhere = detestable
Writing `pub` is personally more annoying to me than writing `if err != nil`. I understand that most people don't like how capitalization determines visibility, but I think it actually makes sense when you think about it.
