A lightweight system monitor written in Go is an interesting project.

It also seems like a good fit for something I've wanted to try for a while: building the UI as a SPA, embedding the generated assets into the Go binary with `embed.FS`, and shipping everything as a single self-contained executable.

Sorry, this isn't my project — I was just sharing it because I thought it was relevant here.

I only recently joined HN, so I'm still getting a feel for the norms. If that came across as self-promotion, I'll be more careful in the future.

Sounds like it's pretty much the same everywhere.

I agree that libraries probably need some reinvention, and that seems like an area where software engineering skills could be useful.

One role that came to mind is librarian, especially information or digital-services roles in libraries.

It seems like a field where technical skills could still be useful without software development itself being the center of the job. I imagine the actual work and employment conditions vary quite a bit by country, though.

I’m in Japan, where library jobs can be fairly difficult to enter as a stable career, so I’d also be curious to hear what the profession is like elsewhere.
