I have been paying off student loans on an income-driven plan for nine years and I have documented every recertification. Ask me anything about the paperwork.

Is it normal for a tiny Go HTTP service to build a 14MB binary

UPX will squash it to around 4MB if you genuinely need it small for something like an embedded box or a CLI people download over a bad connection. Costs you a decompress on every start and antivirus products flag packed binaries constantly, so I would not do it for a server.
