I think you’re touching on an important point though, mix of in person and in office is really challenging, because some people see each other all day while others are literally more disconnected. It creates a heterogeneous mix of work rela

Personal experience is great, though for large projects C++ is definitely more robust. Really like how go handles parallelism and creating threads.
