Deep dives into Go, cloud infrastructure, and software engineering.
The Invisible Giant: How Go Silently Conquered Modern Infrastructure
You might write your web apps in Python or JavaScript, but the cloud they run on is written in Go. Here is why the Big Four rely on it.
The Empty Arena: Why Go Belongs in the AI Agent Boom
