My pleasure, really! I talk entirely too much at times. 😅

Yeah, this is the blessing/curse of the freelancer :D

Variety is truly the blessing and the curse. I mean I have no trouble with working on a single for a while, but turns out a year is a long while!

ah ah, a really neat idea! "Are we wasting time here?" :D

Thanks! I've had good feedback so far. Ideally I'd like to formalize it a bit more to enable tracking of meeting output and action points etc. We'll see! Given the amount of meeting overhead I have at work I'll certainly be able to collect lots of ideas.

Yeah I understand, I'm much more productive from home

Yes! Especially considering that on my work laptop all I've got is Windows 10 and no administrative access. It's a struggle at times. And not the good kind.

Ah ah, well, at least you built something useful ;) Go is a good tool to have in the arsenal

That I did! And Go is the first language that addresses my biggest pet peeve: I can have a variable named InvitationToken in Go, invitation_token in the database and invitationToken in JSON all in one statement!

InvitationToken string `json:"invitationToken" db:"invitation_token"`

Coming from PHP where even the standard library doesn't know what it wants to be that is like rubbing Vicks on your soul.

Yeah, that aspect of Go is truly cool. I only wished it wouldn't use interface{} for practically everything during serialization.
