The swtch.com post is the "introductory blog post" linked at the end of the GH discussion OP, and the GH discussion is the "discussion about how the Go toolchain can adopt telemetry" linked at the end of the swtch.com post.

Did something go wrong? Algolia lists this submission as "108 points|h1x|16 hours ago|153 comments".
The other thread reference above is a different submission with "217 points by trulyrandom|18 hours ago|244 comments" and is not specific to the Golang metrics issue.
IIRC the two URLs pointed to articles with identical or nearly identical content.
