Your suspicion is correct, it does not.

An unrelated point. I’ve noticed more people in the UK measuring their weight in KG. I think I may be in a dwindling minority of people who think in stones and pounds.
It’s supposed to be fun. As long as you’re not cheating the global leader board - which this approach doesn’t - why not play however you want.
I like go to overboard writing parsers for each day.
You can have a goose (unepxorted) that is created via NewGoose() (exported - really a constructor). Of course within a package there is nothing to stop you doing the wrong thing. I really like Go. But I do find myself occasionally writing overly verbose types just to avoid this issue. Which, if I’m honest with myself, is a bit silly.
There’s a good counter argument to using to unepxorted types like this below.
I will accept that some of my senior team feel punished. They don’t need to come in for their own careers. They’re past that point. But part of being a senior is passing your skills along. And upskilling others.
And this is the problem. I want to work from home full time. But until I can replicate all of the benefits remotely I will continue with hybrid.
This is a very emotive subject. The only way we are going to translation to a fully remote future is by accepting the limitions of remote. And then fixing them.
However I’m a team lead. And no matter what I try I can’t train my juniors as quickly remotely.
My seniors and I can show them how to work, and solve problems so much faster on-site. We catch bad habits sooner and in-still the teams approach to working via example. Which so far I’ve found hardest to replicate remotely.
Yes you can pass skills on remotely. But many people aren’t willing to spent extended periods on a call. And it is time people need more than anything else at the start of their career.
Many juniors - understandably - don’t know what skills they are lacking. And those that do don’t know which to focus on first. Only 10/20% have the right personality type to self-source these skills independently. They need our help. Just as we needed the previous generations help. And to provide that we need to really get to know them.
My personal experience, of hiring software engineers in London, aligns with this article. We have seen a drop in supply this year.
If you are looking in the South of England I would recommend finding a specialist tech recruitment agency.
