Watching Gophercon videos this morning, majority of my suggestions were Jordan B Peterson, Andrew Huberman and JRE. How the hell does it make that jump. I only watch software related videos at this point.

I know on the testing/V&V side, they use a mix of LabVIEW and Python, at least for some specific teams. Lots of automated (physical) tests are being written in both.

We use Go for our ETL, with some Python too. We are in the process of transitioning to Argo Workflows from a K8s CronJob/Job setup which has been pretty stable itself.
