Postmortem on garbage jobs posted on We Love Go

The incident

Around 2019-05-27 04:12 UTC+10, 5 garbage job ads were posted on We Love Go’s website (https://welovegolang.com) and subsequently on its Twitter account (https://mobile.twitter.com/welovegolang).

One job ad in particular contained hateful language and I apologise to all of We Love Go’s users and Twitter followers for allowing it to occur.

Thank you to a few members of the We Love Go community for bringing the garbage jobs to my attention. I was also aware of them due to the notification email that I receive for each and every job that is posted.

In actual.html you can see that at line 6 some predicates have been pushed onto a new line which is not a valid Go html/template (causes error template: master:6: unclosed action).

I guess the Code HTML formatter is just treating the handlebars as a plain text node and honouring the max line length, but is it possible for the formatter to see that it's inside handlebars and not touch it?

To see what happens with the std lib version,

go build && ./yourbin

Go to http://localhost:8080/ (make sure you force refresh if done in browser) and notice that the response header is OK:

Last-Modified:Tue, 09 Feb 2016 05:08:20 GMT

Deploy it for prod:

$ goapp deploy .

Go to http://gae-test-1133.appspot.com/ (or replace with ) and notice that only one the runtime HELLO is the correct value: prefetched: "", runtime: "hello world"

Now run it in dev:

Question: could the child/overlay/aboutPage get the default content from the master with something like {{parent}} or {{master}}?

E.g.

const (
    layout  = `<title>{{block "metaTitle" .}}golang.org{{end}}</title><body>{{block "content"}}{{end}}</body>`
    aboutPage = `{{define "metaTitle"}}Read all about Go - {{parent}}{{end}} {{define "content"}}About page content{{end}}`
)

	export const baz = () => {};

	const bar = () => {};

	bar.exportTest = true;

	export bar;

	package main

	import (
	"encoding/json"
	"net/http"

	"google.golang.org/appengine/taskqueue"
	)

	// NewJSONPostTask creates a Task that will POST to a path with the given body

	package web

	func contactHandler(
	res http.ResponseWriter,
	req *http.Request,
	csrf csrf.TokenManager,
	nodeRepository node.Repository,
	) {

	}

	var React = require('react');
	var evaluate = require('eval');

	// srcPath renamed to src since it can either be a filename or a chunk name
	function ReactToHtmlWebpackPlugin(destPath, src, options) {
	this.src = src;
	this.destPath = destPath;
	this.options = typeof options === 'object' ? options : {};
	}
