Today wasn’t a big coding day, but it was a good learning day. Why I Picked an Advanced Go Book So here’s the thing - I’ve started reading Concurrency in Go by Catherine Buday. Yup, a pretty advanced book for someone who’s still new to the language. But honestly? It’s working really well for me. If I stuck to just for loops and if statements all day, I’d get bored fast....
Today was Day 2 of learning Go, and to be honest, I didn’t have much time to dedicate. But I still wanted to make some progress. So I wrapped up the Pointers module from Maximilian Schwarzmüller’s Go: The Complete Guide course — and for the first time in my life, I feel like pointers actually make sense to me. 10 Years Too Late Back in college, I studied C++ as part of my Electronics Engineering degree....
I’ve just started my backend development journey - and I’m doing it with Go. Or Golang, if you prefer that name. Why Go? Honestly, it feels solid. It’s clean. It’s simple. And most importantly, for some weird reason I don’t yet understand, it’s fun. I’ve worked with Python before (mostly for data science & ML), but this time, I want to learn something from the ground up that’ll help me build real, scalable projects....
The urge to create software that feels meaningful I didn’t think I’d be learning how to build software at 30. Not while juggling a product marketing career, masters in data science, a family life, and the sinking feeling that I really should have taken coding more seriously 10 years ago. What really sparked my desire was my admiration for high-quality software — whether apps, tools, or platforms — that just work seamlessly and beautifully....
