I definitely recommend using HTTPS on this site. I would rather not have all of my calls logged on a company server somewhere (especially if someone works at a company that cares about this sort of thing)
Definitely agree here. I moved back to Chicago from SF to be near family now that I have a little one.
I was lucky enough to keep my job working remotely for an awesome company in SF, but I can tell even from the LinkedIn spam how different the job market is here.
Well there are a few reasons that I decided to pick up go rather than something like kotlin.
1. No jvm needed. This may not be a benefit if you need to access java libraries, i just like that you can compile a binary.
2. Great concurrency support
3. Seems to be more popular. This may sound like a poor reason to choose a language, but if its more popular there would be better documentation, libraries, ide support, etc
Agreed 100%. This is actually the reason that I have been picking up go lately, you get some of the more lenient syntax of python, with static typing guarantees.
This is actually what I am using now on my personal blog (https://brock.io)
I went with hugo because it is very fast, and I didn't need to install any dependencies locally or on my server.
I bought a theme from themeforest and converted it to a hugo theme. It was a great learning experience, but the docs on actually creating a theme were a bit thin.
