FEELINGS

I have suffered a lot over the past two weeks, and I even thought about dropping this amazing course several times. We were required to create a CLI tool to check dead links from a file. The most difficult part for me is to choose the language. I am sometimes indecisive, and I am not a professional for any programming language. I've heard people talk about how convenient Golang can be, so I finally decided to give it a try to learn it through using it directly. I made the right choice!

After I made my first release of "urlChecker", I have been excited and fulfilled so much for making something real myself! What makes me more grateful is the support I have received through several friends who are also trying to learn Golang. They provided professional suggestions and improvements to my code.
