Yea. I have worked with Python and Ruby just a little to know that deployments are a pain with those 2. Go is a breeze. You do need to setup systemd etc to run the binary but thats it.

Funny but true story. A guy and his wife tried to make me a tech. co-founder once (idea stage) and he was persistent that offering 33% to each is equal share :). Happy that I dodged that bullet.

Other than some of the resources mentioned already in comments, I highly recommend Alex Edwards books Lets Go and Lets go Further. Helped me a lot and still does when building Web Applications. https://www.alexedwards.net/

What I love about Go is its simplicity and no framework dependency. Go is popular because it has no dominating framework. Nothing wrong with frameworks when it fits the use case but I feel that we have become over dependent on framework and

"Beyond the interviews, I can be involved with the actual work as much or little as I want. We'd split any profits 50-50." Mostly likely a scam. They will have you interview, win the project and then pay someone else dirt che

For me, Reverse proxy helps me keep my origin server only for 1 purpose: Serve the Application. Everything else, I can handle with Reverse Proxy including TLS Termination, load balancing, URL rewrites, Security (WAF etc) if needed. Separati

"We create a NextJS app " Are you considering adding other languages in the future ? I would like to try but not with NextJS. I have a special hate for JavaScript so I try to avoid it as much as possible except for Frontend.

As a founder, I have found Twitter to be the most interesting so far and have met great people. Medium is a no go for me considering it is behind paywall. PH for me has always been about cool toys. Fun but nothing serious plus it is gamed t
