bought IntelliJ Ultimate All Products Pack annual subscription b/c I want to use GoLand and paying for that and PyCharm is close to the same price as getting all the rest of the IDEs/tools as well; installed GoLand and WebStorm (for Vue dev work); learned I seem to need to open my 'backend' subdirectory as a root project in GoLand to avoid 'unknown dependency' errors; switch from using the gorilla/mux router to chi b/c apparently it's more actively developed(?) and more popular(?); look into using the Huma REST API framework; got the Huma "Hello World" example working in my code
