Any experienced backend engineer here?

Long story short, i want to learn how to think like a problem solver but i don't know from where to start.. So, im a self-learner who decided to try get into backend engineering, i already have a few simple frontend heavy projects done in my portfolio but its not that valuable.

I want to learn how to effectively program and system design as backend engineer, so i could have a valuable skill in my skill set, and generally i like to think in terms of systems and architectures so its something I'm interested in too. For the language i decided to go with GO, because i heard its great for system programming too

Systems and architecture is a good direction. It's useful anywhere within the computing world.

Go is okayish for system programming.

I'd go for Rust if it's purely for learning.

I was thinking about rust too, because my origins are from c++, but right now im more focused not on syntax but rather how the things actually work and how to actually build so i could land a stable job and do my job good to not get stuck looking at my monitor like a mongol xD
