10 week onboarding program we use here for go backend devs: https://www.reddit.com/r/golang/comments/1eiea6q/10_week_pla...

go is amazing. switches from python to go 7 years ago. It's the reason our startup did well

One thing I don't like when it comes to Golang jobs - it is rare to see pure software engineering positions. For some reason, most Go jobs requirements include AWS, Kubernetes/Docker, CI/CD setup, etc... DevOps stuff, which is not the case for positions in other stacks.

  • I haven't been able to find a job anywhere, using any language, that didn't require all that stuff these days. I wish I could go back to pure development, but now we all get this entire infra-crap thrown at us too. Which then means... you support the environments, the runtime, and the code. It's a 24/7 world and I don't care for it anymore.

    • it's alignment of incentives.

      nowadays devs are less inclined to pump out crappy code that ends up with some ops guy having to wake up in the middle of the night
