The Grades of a Go Developer, or What Distinguishes a Senior Gopher
summary
A Russian-language talk examines what truly distinguishes senior Go engineers from others by criticizing common interview practices (relying on LeetCode-style tasks and rote theory like threads vs goroutines or GC mechanics). It argues for evolving hiring and evaluation methods that reflect how the Go developer role has changed, focusing on real-world Go experience and practical skills rather than standard interview scripts.
