I was helping a client on a project that involved syncing nzbs between usenet networks. There were open source solutions that did this on a smaller scale, but he wanted to have several terabytes of mirroring happening 24/7. One issue was trying to daemonize these already available services. They all leveraged go’s concurrency to great success but invariably there would be lots of hiccups...
I definitely have a skill issue in that I don’t work within the Windows server ecosystem very much. If given the choice, everything I do is Linux based. I’ve recently taken on a project where the existing hosting was Windows and they’re running a Laravel app. Access to the machine is via a VPN connection.

This website had a development and a production server and the client was juggling several different modifications at once in an effort to boost their sales and improve the customer experience. The problem was, that there was only one development server and they would often like to go back and forth...
