Whats the solution for this, how can I have a channel of jobs and write it to a file. Is that bad practice?
I don't think you can read a full channel so would i need to basically add a switch inside my workerRunJob function
// don't do the work, just add to slice (will be called on all jobs overtime..)
jobsToWriteToFile = append(jobsToWriteToFile,job)
} else{
// Complete job
// 30 seconds.....
}```

what is a "job" in your program?

just different snippets of tasks generally a few http requests or database query, sounds weird but yeah
maybe i need to create another slice representing the "jobs" and pop them off this readable list as they are done by workers
so channel for logic but another slice kept in sync of the actual remaining jobs
i probably just need to read into fundamentals some more, probably over complicating it / using it incorrectly
probably answered that wrong, job is a struct in my program.
I can determine what the work to do is from that struct
but all the jobs are stored in a channel, which is the dilemma of actually retrieving the remaining jobs when program quits

if theyre all in a struct, could you just marshal the slice of jobs and unmarshal them when you need them?
