How legacy code always seems to end up as one big mess? It's a buildup of all those "temp" expedient shortcuts we take under pressure. Connections in the system get so twisted that no one can reason out the consequences of a change. That's when the fun stops and the headaches begin.

TODO is a 𝗧otally 𝗢ptional, 𝗗elay 𝗢pportunity.

Every single TODO is a precious promise we made to our future selves that they'd be too busy fighting new fires to ever dig up that old code.

Honestly, we're not procrastinating, we're just spelling 𝗡𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗗𝗢 with a fewer letters.

Go 1.25 introduces a new method .Go() for the sync.WaitGroup type. With the introduction of the method the process finally has been simplified and made safer. It removes the manual management of the counter. Less code less bugs.

Good catch, there was a trap 🪤

What about this one? 😈

✨ Quiz time!

I plan to write an article about this next week and want to understand how many of you know how this behaves.

Writing the code by hand provides a more complete theory of it than 'tabbing' AI generated results.

What do you think about this? Does all this vibe coding actually make you feel numb?

I'm thinking about de-Appleing myself.

Go's simple imperative loops make data transformations verbose & error-prone, but Rust's .map(), .filter(), & .fold() offer better composability, leading to more maintainable code. See screenshots comparing both languages.

In addition to the direct memory manipulations in Go, here's how to manually allocate memory for a struct using the unsafe package without relying on high-level built-in allocation functions like new() or make().

Ugly, but doable 😉

I got bored 😎

I tried to manipulate array elements directly by accessing them via pointers.
Not a thing that you'll ever do in Go, but still interesting to try out.
