When I read the article, my brain passed right over the different domain names; the two are even the exact same number of characters, set in a monospace font, and my brain passes right over the domain of golang imports to the end of the path. That's where the interesting bit is (usually!)

I find this a super confusing and unintuitive choice, but I suppose it's too late for changing it now.

Sincerely, an othwerwise mostly happy protobuf user
