One thing I don't like when it comes to Golang jobs - it is rare to see pure software engineering positions. For some reason, most Go jobs requirements include AWS, Kubernetes/Docker, CI/CD setup, etc... DevOps stuff, which is not the case for positions in other stacks.

I haven't been able to find a job anywhere, using any language, that didn't require all that stuff these days. I wish I could go back to pure development, but now we all get this entire infra-crap thrown at us too. Which then means... you support the environments, the runtime, and the code. It's a 24/7 world and I don't care for it anymore.

it's alignment of incentives.

nowadays devs are less inclined to pump out crappy code that ends up with some ops guy having to wake up in the middle of the night
