It would be good for my job if learned go, but I've been having a hard time because it's just so boring.

- kakwa_ 3y agoHonestly, just find yourself a project and just Go for it (sorry for the pun). The syntax is easy enough you can start coding just after having looked at basic examples. Personally I actually like Go because it's so boring. I tend to see languages more like tools rather than valuable knowledge I must learn, so a simple yet powerful enough language is a perfect fit for me.
- goldinfra 3y agoYou're doing it wrong if you think programming for work is about the code being a means of expressing your inner soul. The most successful professional programmers derive their enjoyment from achieving business objectives, like making products that users love and improve the world. If you want to express your soul in your code, do that on the weekend using whatever language you want. Trying to mix these motivations is a recipe for disaster.

- __MatrixMan__ 3y agoI have too much skepticism of "businesses objectives" to be especially interested in success. I want something that'll bend my mind.
- nemetroid 3y ago> The most successful professional programmers derive their enjoyment from achieving business objectives, like making products that users love and improve the world. Successful by what metric? Achieving business objectives? I don't necessarily disagree with the point, but this seems like a truism.
- iraqmtpizza 3y agoOr a tautology. No true professional programmer would derive more enjoyment from beauty than from making his boss happy.
