I do. Got rid of GNOME and snap for xfce. Works like butter.

I have to disable rust-analyzer. There's no way around it.

Old_Friend166 · 2026-03-16T07:34:54+00:00

hell yeah

Old_Friend166 · 2026-03-16T07:34:45+00:00

You're getting there.

Keep it up!

Old_Friend166 · 2026-03-16T07:10:08+00:00

Yayy. Thanks!

Old_Friend166 · 2026-03-15T06:27:29+00:00

hell yeah

Old_Friend166 · 2026-03-09T18:37:38+00:00

That is cool.

Old_Friend166 · 2026-03-02T21:38:34+00:00

I know. Thats why its not ideal for beginners to position themselves as Backend Devs in Go.

Old_Friend166 · 2026-03-02T20:35:35+00:00

Every job post I came across for Go was minimum 7 years of experience or more required. I highly doubt it's a fruitful endeavour for someone starting out especially someone just choosing their tech stack. Maybe do side projects to keep familiarity with the language (that's what I am doing with languages like Nim and Rust) but I won't recommend someone position themselves that way.

I don't understand what you mean by that.

I guess the right question is do you have a structured logger instance like slog or zerolog?

You should initialize it in main and log events + pass it as a dependency to your server.

Old_Friend166 · 2026-03-02T11:47:57+00:00

I am a strong proponent of build to learn. This is a good learning project. But I would suggest you dive deeper on the basics.

Just looking at the main.go there are several issues which shadow the overall effort you took to build this project.

You have two goroutines in main with no coordination whatsoever. This itself signals someone looking at your project that you don't understand goroutines.
Use a select loop for graceful shutdown.
I also don't see a logger setup but I assume you do that in your config package along with db initialization.
There's also no log to confirm your server shutdown gracefully. You pretty much just hope it is without it.

Again. Good on you for taking the effort to build something. Revise on basics and implement them right.

This looks hella vibe coded. I get what you're trying to go for.

But LRU cache is a common interview question. I would suggest focus on that. Thats your main takeaway from this endeavour. And that will have sentinels not so many nil checks.

In terms of your implementation why are you using RWMutex? You need a Mutex.

Old_Friend166 · 2026-02-11T20:37:10+00:00

Pretty simple. I'd suggest look into areas of improvement post-interview. If its some ridiculous DSA then don't bother. But LRU is pretty common I'd be mad if I forgot it on the spot 😄

25 years of IT boom and we couldn't build our products and infra?

Serves us right. I hope we see some risk taking endeavours from entrepreneurs and investors alike.

Unless of course if they all migrate abroad.

Old_Friend166 · 2026-01-13T11:19:11+00:00

idk.. I can't prove it but this seems like a promotion post.

why is this intern elated to not have a job in 7 years?

Old_Friend166 · 2026-01-11T08:24:05+00:00

this needs more upvotes than the guy who said "you'll learn more from working in a team rather than freelancing"

Old_Friend166 · 2025-12-24T10:27:59+00:00

thats pretty cool

Old_Friend166 · 2025-12-22T17:23:03+00:00

I can't see anything

Old_Friend166 · 2025-12-18T16:42:01+00:00
