🚨 Go feels simple — until it bites you.

In 2025, many Go teams still ship code with silent leaks, random panics, and ghost goroutines. Why? Anti-patterns.

⚡ Top mistakes to dodge:

• Fire-and-forget goroutines without context → 💥 leaks & memory chaos
• Swallowed errors → 💣 bugs hiding in plain sight
• Closing channels from the wrong place → 🌀 random panics
• WaitGroup imbalance → 🧨 mysterious deadlocks
• Panic on bad input → 😱 whole service down from one bad request
• Interface{} everywhere → 🤷 compiler can’t help you anymore
• Hidden globals → 🔥 data races no one can see
• Slice aliasing traps → 🪤 unexpected side effects
• defer inside loops → 🐘 file descriptor explosion

✅ Learn when to use context, how to own channels, avoid slice traps, and more.
