Yeah, used a bunch of (static) code analysis tools: goimports, misspell, deadcode, errcheck, govet, ineffassign, staticcheck, structcheck, typecheck, varcheck, bodyclose, dupl, goconst, gosec, unconvert, unparam. To name "just a few" 😂

I wouldn't go as far as saying it's ignorance - or at least that's not what I intended to say 😆

Yes, it can be difficult to find the right set of tools, but on the upside: it's just so difficult to pick and choose because there really are quite a bunch of useful helpers operating on #golang's AST. I really wish we were in that situation for other languages, too.

Check out golangci-lint, btw.

Posts like yours are the medals I collect 😆

GitHub has given up on catching up with me 😂

@amdg2

Yeah, it'd be a lot more challenging and time intensive. Just think of all those compile / build cycles 😂

Other things I've learned tonight:

- all those context switches between dozens of projects are a lot more exhausting and mentally draining than you could possibly imagine

- this would have been a lot worse without #golang's strict coding style and formatting conventions

- many projects have a CI pipeline set up, but ignore lots of the brilliant code analysis tools the Go ecosystem provides

- Maybe C++ projects next? Not sure that's a good idea for my mental health 😂

Tried identifying the most common #golang mistakes and went on a little bug hunting mission tonight:

Fixed hundreds of bugs & issues across 39 of the most popular Go projects, and created more than 100 pull requests. 28 of which have already been merged in the past couple of hours!

Here's what I most commonly encountered:

- typos
- unnecessary conversions
- ineffectual assignments
- tautological errors
- missing error handling

That's why they're called business socks!

@screenbeard

You can use '-tabs=false' with gofmt, but let's just say it's not the recommend way 😉

@screenbeard

Just a heads up: sent a pull request your way over on GitHub 😉

@sldr

Gets printed in place, no assembly required!

Good morning to you, too! 😊
