You can't truly become a developer if you can't build your own stuff. Theory and foundations are important, but you also need to be able to fly solo. The purpose of this project is two-fold: a chance to put your skills into practice and to add another project to your portfolio. Well-built personal projects will help you land interviews and jobs, so make sure to put in the effort!

Good starting point. One thing this course doesn't tell you as much is that you should be utilizing your outside resources, whether Youtube or whatever outside website to help better understand the concepts. Took me a few times and vids of explaining to grasp certain things

I am not impressed with Go. It appears to devolve quickly into seemingly random punctuation marks, while also being case-sensitive in a way that makes it annoying for people who've spent time on this boot.dev DevOps course! Go also tries too hard to be contrary to C. Many of the Assignments are worded poorly, and too many are "this is how you must *not* do it!" while forcing you to do it that way to progress the course.
