Stop lying to yourself about those _ = functionCall() patterns in your Go tests.
The underscore isn't a design decision. It's a white flag.

Há algum tempo, iniciei um projeto no GitBook sobre Go Modules em português.
Como acontece com muitos projetos de código aberto, ele ficou um pouco parado. Você sabe como é. A vida acontece.
Mas aqui está a boa notícia: Atualizei completamente o conteúdo até a versão 1.25 do Go 💚 .

Ever wondered why your builds take forever? Or why are "clean builds" considered normal? I channeled my ataraxia to explore how Zig's build cache actually gets things right.

Straight from the development trenches here in Curitiba, a new article just dropped on the blog!
This time, I'm taking a first look at the recent (and very welcome) addition of WaitGroup.Go() in Go 1.25 and how this small change represents a significant step forward for the language's ergonomics.

Now that DeepSeek is having an impact on the US stock market, I expect a huge negative press cycle designed to discredit their advancement is on the way.

Once upon a time, not the entire internet was 4chan. Only 4chan was 4chan, because everywhere else would kick you out for Doing 4chan in their spaces.
It sounds utopian, but it is true.

When social media sites tell you moderation has limits I want you to know there was a time when you could only find the worst people on obscure forums created for being offensive because everywhere else moderated them into those corners.
