Whenever I'm reading through Go code and come across something that uses this sort of abstraction library, I usually just close it and move on. The stdlib is really nice and I find code that stays as "vanilla" Go as possible

I hadn't thought about this very much until I read this post, but I got my first job out of college through a "who is hiring" post back in 2011 (so I guess it was one of the first posts!) and that job changed my life. I flew
