I fully agree. Sadly, in reality, mid-level managers will happily sacrifice quality for speed, and before the whole thing falls apart, they move to another company with better pay.

I said nothing about the difficulty of learning. JS/TS developers are easier to find and are cheaper, and the current climate wants everybody to be full-stack developers. The cost savings of Go isn’t there :(

Because programmer hourly pay is way higher than server hourly cost. Abundant nodejs developers can pump shitty code faster, therefore delivering features faster. That’s all shareholders care about.
