Most likely Kamil is in the right directory, and this is just a known
quirk: bash tries to exec the program, the exec fails because the
binary's interpreter is set incorrectly, and bash incorrectly
interprets the failure as the program not existing.  See
https://nixos.org/patchelf.html (although, there is an open bug about
patchelf not working on Go binaries, see
https://github.com/NixOS/patchelf/issues/66).
