A comment on The State of Go. Parent comment

My favorite are the comments like:

    1:12pm   line 33: Why are you doing this?
    1:13pm   line 33: I see, sorry, ignore my earlier comment.
A system that lets you draft comments and then send them out in a batch can avoid a bunch of noise. On the other hand, though, people who aren't expecting it can get stuck with draft comments they don't send out.

I think we have the technology to show that a piece of text is a draft and hasn't yet been sent.

Imho, the end user should be able to choose between live commenting vs draft+send.

Usually if this happens, it's a good hint that this piece of code could use a good comment. Not always, of course.
