Go install script
I'm currently writing an extension for the Caddy web server which is written in Go. Becuase of this I needed to install go on my wsl Ubuntu instance. For future Brian, I have created a bash script to install other versions of Go.
I like to program as close to vanilla as possible. Because abstractions are complex. Seriously, why give a man a fish when you could teach him about asynchronous programming?
I've been paid to program for 13 years. People have paid me to write SQL, Java, Python, PHP, C, and JavaScript. Which is ridiculous as it's just my hobby. I love to code.

Managers, managers, managers
Today was my last day at work. I work as a short term contractor, although sometimes it's not short term. I onced worked a rolling 6 month contract for 4 years. It paid for my house and wedding, those were the days. Often I am happy to accept extensions. But sometimes I don't. When I don't it's always been down to the same cause. Managers or mismanagement.
