Yeah what I'd say is: Seek out and be open to advice. There's a "don't know what you don't know" problem here, as always. But this is also part of the point of reading sites like HN! People here are saying "actually there are tools that are net positive to learn a bit because they are much better choices for particular niches". That is advice! It's fine and all to say "nah, I'm good", but in many cases that's doing yourself a disservice. I really do see people writing tedious for loops in go because it is what they're comfortable with, when they would be much better served writing sql and using a language with dataframes.
Most of the time people aren't just on a kick about selling some hot new thing (and I'm old enough that go was the hot new thing for me at one point!), they actually have relevant experience and are giving useful advice.
