Suddenly we see serious HN commenters become 5 yr olds lol

My only complaint is the use of capitalization as public private. Because I quickly run out of naming variables/instances/structs, and naming is hard!

I do JS/TS profesionally, I play around with various languages on the side including Haskell/Rust.

The more I work in JS the more I realized that I'm dumb. I'm not worthy to hold the power that JS has, much more other more complicated languages.

I tried Go. I like it. It makes me feel safe and smart enough to write production grade app.

Small docs, small language, no need fancy IDE, just any regular text editor like Vim works. Easy to read, easy to reason about. Everything is easy.

Now I finally can focus on other non-programming passion instead of chasing endless language features in other programming languages.

I like Go. The language for mediocre SWE like me. I code, I go home, I enjoy life.

......I don't know what to say. I know a few people are like this too. On the other hand, I think I do a lot of things for my employer and constantly learn/challenge myself, but don't make anywhere near FAANG SWE. I am trying hard to pass onsite FAANG interviews, and still failing. So I'm still Leetcoding now.

But hearing stories like this just kinda demotivates me and confuses me more. Most non FAANG companies have no interest in keeping people who wants to stay purely technical like me, so in the end I'll have to end up at FAANG/unicorns to get better compensation. But on the other hand, joining FAANG seems soul crushing.
