"Go @ Work: Education Equity"
summary
An engineer uses Go every day at an education non‑profit and reports a concrete problem and fix: nationwide data shows 87% underprepared among African‑American students for high‑school math, a mission‑critical app suffers a weekend outage from third‑party API rate limits, and the team implements exponential backoff and concurrency limits to restore service. The talk argues find your why rather than chasing hype and describes a blameless post‑mortem and community teaching steps.
