To be clear, I mean "boring" in the positive engineering sense of well-defined and reliable. The kind of work that I don't like to do in Go is "interesting" in the negative sense of lots of special cases, complicated branching based on combinations of data, complicated error handling... stuff where pattern matching and use of types like Option and Either shine (hell, even exception handling helps!) Basically the kind of stuff that good engineers would design out of existence if the product managers and salespeople would let us.
