What is "IsAdmin" doing in the "create user" request DTO in the first place? The examples seem to indicate inappropriate re-use of data models.

Would it not be better to:

  type CreateUserRequest struct {
    Username string
    Password string
  }

  type UserView struct {
    Username string
    IsAdmin boolean
  }

etc?

No need to just have just 1 model that maps 1:1 to your DB row. This applies to all languages
