❤️ yay nice to hear it!
out of curiosity, have you ever found yourself wanting to get an unset optional? to fallback to the default?

Possibly yeah, so far I've just ended up passing the same as the default there https://github.com/kpenfound/greetings-api/blob/zenith/ci/backend/main.go#L50
but if I had more than just 1 optional there I could see that getting unwieldy and there's some downsides of duplicating definitions of defaults
