Your point, that doing this ad-hoc in go results in a half-baked shitty reimplementation of ansible/chef/fabric/whatever, was well made. I totally agree with it.

My point was, is that the DevOps person needs to be smart enough to pick up Go, which I'm sure you are.

Any hiring manager that puts your whole application on the bottom of the stack because of a lack of experience isn't a good hiring manager and isn't worth your time.
