Go
Not part of the Localz stack — added for platform/infra breadth, since Go underlies most of the Kubernetes/Terraform/SRE tooling ecosystem relevant to a Senior Platform Engineer track.
Why we need this / what value this brings
Go fluency is a common gap-filler for platform-engineering roles even without a current production use case — it's the language most infra tooling is written in.
When to use this
Building or reading internal CLIs, Kubernetes operators, or Terraform providers, or closing a breadth gap for platform-engineering interviews.
How to use or implement this
Treat this as deliberate breadth-building rather than Localz-driven — prioritize ConcurrencyPatterns and CLIAndInfraTooling first since they map most directly to platform-engineering work.

Research questions
- Worth a small hands-on CLI or operator project to anchor these notes in something concrete rather than pure theory?
