Go is great, but isn't long-term experience with dev in-general more important?
It seems it'd be better to hire somebody with an extensive grasp on the fundamentals. The algorithms, patterns, etc.. are generic, Golang is just an implementation detail ;)
I work as CPO for a Swiss Telco/Messaging Platform Company.
My real passion is developing in Golang, Vue-Nuxt/ReactJs/Angular with Redis, Nsq/RabbitMQ, ArangoDB, MongoDB and Sql
I see your point, but have strong impression, that people (recruiters, contractors) look mostly on skills/stack they are actually looking for. What I try to say. Smart can work, but not for all situations. Sometimes less smart, but e.g. configurable for specific need can be better
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
