It sounds like the perfect time honestly. If you fuck something up, you have the whole week to fix it.

I'm one of those who had no idea about the whistleblower story, but I learned of it through reading about Facebook network outage.
Can you elaborate a bit on the golang part? As someone who dabbled with Go but never found it too alluring when comparing to other options (if I wanted ease-of-use I'd go with Python, if I wanted performance I'd go lower level - C++/Rust), I'm interested what you mean by it. Go did find a footing in the industry and a lot of cloud infrastructure relies on it, I do think it's the most interesting option out of compiled garbage-collecting languages.
