I have a hypothesis here. Go is a language closely curated by Google, and the primary use of Go in Google is to write concurrent Protobuf microservices, which is exactly the case of exchanging lots of small packets on a very reliable networ

I think that if one does something for a long time and with constant passion, and then reflects about that in the form of text, podcast or video - they are doomed to become an influencer of sorts. So your recommendation is equal to "do
