Author here, thanks for the share!

Thought I'd write this as I think the "how easily can someone copy-and-paste?" is a fairly unknown principle by which people might evaluate their code, but one that I think can be extremely valuable.

Also frequently misunderstood, with people thinking I'm advocating for copy-and-pasting everything when it's definitely not that.

Thanks, I find your blog articles interesting. I particularly liked the one on data analytics stack using DBT.

I am interested in your decision to use Golang, and opinions on Bolt, given that I'm not aware of a Golang Bolt SDK.

Is there any risk of you 'reinventing the wheel' a bit here with internal tools that you make, or did you notice some design errors in Bolt that you have productively improved upon?
