I’ll get to goroutines and channels and whatnot, but the most valuable lesson I’ve learned so far in Go is “maybe everything doesn’t have to be in a regular expression.”

@jacobydave for my part in this specific thing, doing a lot of split / transform / join.

@gizmomathboy I continue to be interested, but unable to overcome my own hyperfixations and social anxieties (less about the group, more about being noisy in the office that is also the living room)

Need to cleanup from my cleanup, but I got this thing nearly as functional as it was before I started this stage.
Before, I generated a JSON export for Hugo to process with a content adapter template. But that also meant transforming the Markdown myself, as Hugo complained otherwise.
Now it’s an old-fashioned 1:1 export of pages to content files spiked with shortcodes. Let Hugo do the Markdown part again.
Notable outcome is I got export+Hugo time from 2.5s to 1.4s on 600 public pages, with well-lit paths for speeding it up from there.

Another interview down. I think I lived. Pretty sure. I may have even done well. I’ll find out about that later.

@IamMrsGeek what part of “I’m better than this company deserves and should be getting paid double what I am now and and doing the job I’ve been pushing towards for a couple years now” did they not understand?
or is that not what you put
because that’s my evaluation of you

@philsplace that thing looks like it would have trouble with the actual roads I’ve been encountering in Arizona, let alone the off-roads.

@seatek No, Mexican. That other’s only for fancy dinner parties.
