Why not do it in a different language? Having Go and Node around is awesome because we can change the language. Don't you get bored to use just a single language? I'd get so so so bored if I didn't change languages every year. Glad that uber offers Go jobs.
- jryan49 7y agoUsually when you're trying to ship something, the more boring (predictable) parts the better.
- PunchTornado 7y agobut is that the only goal? or you shouldn't enjoy the life? I find that I enjoy my life more as a programmer when I change things.
- jryan49 7y agoIt's not but I also have more fun not getting paged in the middle of the night because something is broken ;) It's a balance for sure. I know it's cool to hate on Java, but I actually like Java for it's predictability, and my deep knowledge of it, and when using Intellij, it's a breeze for me to program in.
