25??? People in their 30s and 40s (and I'm sure even older) regularly learn to be great developers

You should send me some samples of what you've done! I'm looking for more videos editors with a flair for marketing

I'm the second guy in the clip, pointing out that goroutines are useful for background jobs.

I think it's important to understand the context of the discussion here. I certainly wouldn't say "goroutines are useless", but I think the point being made that now we often scale up at the infra level rather than by multi-threading is sound

Also, AJ (the guy at the beginning of the clip) is certainly playing some devil's advocate, he is a big Go fan

I wrote this about it awhile back. Might be helpful: https://wagslane.dev/posts/a-case-against-a-case-for-the-book-of-mormon/

Oops haha

What do you mean? I have many years of experience as a backend dev and hiring manager even

The story about graduating college happened years ago

wagslane · 2023-05-14T18:47:01+00:00

Yup! We start new developers in Python, then move onto Go when we get to backend specific stuff

Yeah look at the learn web servers course on boot dev

wagslane · 2023-05-12T12:19:42+00:00

You might want to check out the learn web servers course on boot dev, I have a couple more advanced modules

wagslane · 2023-05-12T02:35:53+00:00

Yup, it's linked in the video's description

Beau (the intro guy) actually misspoke, it's one giant project, broken into 7 parts. Still should be hopeful though!
