> If you use ctx.Value in my (non-existent) company, you’re fired

I was unsuccessful to convey the same message in my previous company (apart from being fired part). All around the codebase you'd see function with official argument and unofficial ones via ctx that would panic everything if you forgot it was used 3 layers down (not kidding). The only use case I've seen so far that is not terrible of context value is if you have a layer of opentelemetry as it makes things transparent and as a caller you don't have to give a damn how the telemetry is operated under the hood.
