Back in 2016 when I was at google, I started on a team that was all golang. I was working on my first project, building out a new service and got many readability approvals from Ian. One time I got an an approval with some follow up requests, which I somehow didn’t notice and landed the change. He got back to me asking me to follow up. I didn’t realize he was one of the core Golang developers! He was super gracious, even though he didn’t need to be and I’ll always remember that. It’s really something that he invested so much time into seeing how the language was actually used and identifying core problems. Very admirable.
