Dev's don't read either
Users never read.

If you’ve ever done support for a product of any kind this is immediately apparent. And that’s when you realize building intuitive UX is really hard!

Let's start the forenoon with a meeting ...

I wonder if I can convince backend teams to switch from node to Go

time will tell

I have learned several dev's what real programming is with Go

The team had voted a year ago to rewrite the dataLake recommenders to Go for performance but I added developer xp in the journey
quote this and tell me something you achieved this year. it can be anything at all. 🫶

Being a real senior in tech means more meetings and less fun

you know it's necessary to guide decisions and reduce chaos

I have a new present

I want to create a desk dashboard with weather and calendar or alerts...

The python lib runs fine but the few I find in Go fails

So I have to read the manual and dig into spi communication

But the first task is finding time ...

I've started with muting

every notification from an account that looks like a p0rnBot ...

So bots don't waste your time on trying

Just drop middleware and go for a single handler

I prefer simplicity and you should consider this

It is better for readability
Less boiler plating
Simpler flow control
Easier debugging
It reduces overhead and improves performance

When beginning Go developers are passing the starting point they should checkout for escape analysis.

The understanding could help creating less garbage so that once your product has traffic, it can perform forever

GoLang is the best language out there

Our team is now one year into go and I see at least 90% less bugs in what has been written vs python

I guess due to the power of strictly typed validation in the linter and compile time
