- Go is a mixed bag
- Its possible to write elegant go
- The go community doesn't want you to
- If you do, you might regret it, and end up deleting it all

if err != nil
will seriously save your bacon - In many languages, the standard library is a good place to look for examples of good code
- In go, the standard library encourages many practices I have, over the too many years, come to consider harmful
- I am learning to question my beliefs, but it hurts really bad, and I'm not always wrong
- Go docs are syntax references, not docs
- Go docs assume too much prior knowledge
- There are some foundational Go essays that are absolute gold
- Ardan Labs has some killer go content and doesn't assume you know it all already - no affiliation, just mad respect
- Many well respected go experts seem to believe in copy paste coding
- This makes me want to vomit locusts
- Gophers really hate dependencies, which leads to the aforementioned copy pasta
- Not managing tons of lib dependencies of your own making is really liberating
- I'm learning to eat locusts, but sometimes cotton candy is better
- Go mod needs a UX/DX designer to join the team badly
- Go mod's job is hard - so that's not a criticism as much as a real hope
