Key distinction here: he's still employed and has a working badge and computer until the end of November. He's just been relieved of all official duty.
This is very cool. I'm working on a side project right now with a go back end and alpine front end. One of the things I've had to overcome is handling cookies and CORS since not everything is served from localhost.
I ended up packaging my frontend in an nginx container and using that same nginx container as a proxy for the backend but the whole time I thought maybe this small project would be easier if everything was served by go.
Will definitely keep an eye on this for future stuff.
