I want to learn proper programming. Maybe Go, then C(++).

I have never had a proper formal IT education, just learned everything on the go. I can write essentially everything in Python or Bash using AI. I know most (data)concepts and what data to move where in what fashion, I just don't have the hours in it to be able to do it from the top of my head.

I feel the AI is great, but it's also holding me back. Like how driving a automatic transmission is nice, but you'll never learn to drive stick from it.

Also Docker / k8s ecosystem seems to be mostly Go based. And it looks cool, the syntax.

If anyone has any courses that are interactive and can keep an ADHD mind invested in it I'm all ears.

Might be a bit of a tame goal for hckrnews but yeah.

I've been learning Go for about 4-6 months. So far I've been really enjoying the language. I'll suggest to you to work through the go tour in the beginning, then gobyexample is a great reference resource. I've also heard good things about the book "100 Go mistakes" which is for advanced users. Obviously, Go has its own quirks but if you can enjoy them and make the language work for you, it's really fun!

      I remembered a course called "Learn Go through testing" that looks intriguing and also for beginners.
