Hopefully they discover AGI and the AGI turns out to be a communist. They will kill it SO fast.

A web browser that has all the shit the big tech companies added to make it hard to create a good web browser would be a good start. A web browser does not need webgl or wasm. I want to log into my bank to see how much money I have.

There is no system of digital content distribution that can withstand the will of Government. The only thing that can be done is for the citizens of that government to wake up and take the power away from those that are wielding it to further enrich themselves at the expense of everyone else. I am not a user of TikTok but this is not a good development for our "perfect union", nor the freedom of the internet in the United States of America.

That's nice, but also rather self-congratulatory. I was expecting some kind of acknowledgment of the deeper issues in the language. But perhaps that's the central issue, that the language is perfect in their eyes. I'm the problem.
Well, okay then.
I can't recommend the language, because of its type system, the error handling, the unsafe concurrency, the simplistic syntax, nil, default zero, and a large number of mainstream packages are abandoned.
I now use Rust as my main language. It has a flourishing ecosystem and is visionary in so many ways that Go is not.
Put more pointedly, I'm sure Go had its day, when it was competing with PHP as a backend language.
All these plan9 scientists love their own brand. I started using Go in 2012, but after they killed deps.dev I gave it up. Some years later when I wanted to get work done at work I tried to introduce it on my team and another engineer spent a good amount of time looking into the language and listed all the reasons why it sucked, and he was right. The main takeaway was, yeah it's simple, but it does silly things that makes it a pain to use (error handling and unused imports) to name a few. I personally like the error handling but hated the type system.
Crazy to think if plan9 had been MIT licensed from the start it would probably be running the world right now.
My first hobby project was a yo momma joke spammer for AoL in Visual Basic 3.0. Forgive me I was only 14. The VB chatroom on AOL was my teacher.

Nomad is dead in the water.
When you talk to Consul support engineers, they assume you're using kubernetes, and are confused if you tell them you're using Nomad, _a product that their company makes_.
Nomad will be there when managed k8s gets too expensive. I was looking at it seriously last year for on prem. I chickend put bcz I didn't want to be the only person on my team that understood it. We still don't have a solution, but nomad will be there for when we are ready to progress, regardless of the license.

Jenkins is rock solid. Been using it for three years to deliver highly critical software. The development experience is the worst of all ci tools since no one wants to setup jenkinspipelineunit to test the pipelines. Dagger might be the salvation here, but even that tool didn't support Jenkins out of the gate. And for those that are reading this, the statement about pipeline groovy being a trap is exactly right. Avoid writing groovy at all costs. No one on the team wants to get good groovy and if you do, you're weird. The way we do it is to just use the Jenkins file to call the scripts (or tools) with bare minimal script code.
Edit, forgot to add that I recently interviewed a bunch of candidates for a high paying job at a ai hardware company and every one of those candidates stated they worked on or near a project that involved moving from Jenkins to Gitlab CI.
