I've "used" it in pretty much every Go project I've worked on but almost always in the form of an HTTP handle middleware. Write once, maybe update once a year when we have a change to how we report/log errors.

This is me as well. I can remember code snippets down to line numbers. I can remember what, who and why decisions where made (from jobs I last worked at 5+ years ago). I can remember, almost to the exact wording what people said when having

Also to think that an engineer who’s intentionally joined a company to work on AI self driving tech wouldn’t immediately quit when they where forced to move and work on Twitter content moderation is laughable. They’d find another job faster

Things like mobile/webisite analytics events. User A clicked this menu item, User B viewed this images etc All streamed into S3 in chunks of smallish files. It's cheaper to store them in S3 over a DB and use tools like Athena or R

And what about all the legitimate use cases for censorship/banning? What happens when the chain / ipfs is flooded with immutable CP? Anti-semitic content? Anti-Vaxx disinformation? Revenge-porn? Pii leaks?

On the other hand, it would be nice to know the core languages in play. I have no interest in working in Java anymore, I avoid job listings for companies that would expect me to write Java. I don't want to have to go through recruiter
