Did you know that Go's encoding/json package isn't case-sensitive when parsing JSON keys? This is one of the defaults proposed to change in Go's new json/v2 package. #golang #json

In Go, ExampleXxx functions double as docs & tests. ✅ Tests verify code is working by comparing the output. 📖 godocs embed runnable examples, making it easier for devs to get started. #golang #testing

Example: Let's say I have 100 new PPP customers. That means I need to support 100 more users. If I don't have a support staff, chances are 100 PPP sales don't bring in enough $ to hire someone. Instead, I need to take time away from growing the biz to provide support. Not great.

Unpopular Opinion: Parity Purchasing Power (PPP) discounts are like free plans; they only make sense at a certain income/profit level. Otherwise they kill your ability to grow. https://t.co/BbiEbZwHR1

💡 In Go tests, mark helper functions like assertEquals and doRequest with t.Helper() This causes the Go tooling to point to the line where the function was called rather than a line in the helper function, which makes it easier to debug a failing test. #golang

There are two ways to create paths in Go depending on your needs. 👉 Constructing a file path in Go? Use filepath.Join from the path/filepath package to get OS-specific separators. 👉 Constructing a slash-seperated path, like a URL? Use path.Join from the path package to get

Is there a #golang playground that simulates running code on Windows? Would be nice for demonstrating OS-specific differences, but I recognize it is a pretty niche.

I'm guessing the blog posts just falsely assumed that it would work without testing, but hoping to verify that. The source code appears to use straight string matching via a map key.

President Trump is right. To stay ahead in the global AI race, America needs a unified federal framework. One that promotes innovation without overbearing regulation. A smart, cohesive national policy will ensure that American ingenuity leads the world in the age of A.I.

The CrossOriginProtection added in Go 1.25 doesn't appear to support wildcard subdomains ( https://*.calhoun.io) for trusted origins, yet I've had a few people point me to blog posts that use a wildcard example. Am I missing something? #golang

GoLand users - what are your favorite features and tips? I’ve been trying it out to do a bit of a comparison, but I want to hear from #golang developers who have been using it for a bit.

The init() function in Go runs before main() or any tests. This makes it alluring to new developers for setting things up, but it has a few downsides: 1️⃣ It introduces hidden behavior. If someone imports a function with init in it, code runs without them ever realizing it and

The testing/synctest library is an awesome library to simplify your #golang tests that deal with time or concurrent code. If you have any tests that are flaky due to the use of https://t.co/9dMKSVQYEv(), timeouts, or intervals, you need to check synctest out.

Go's time.Ticker is a great tool for running the same code on a set interval. For instance, you could use it to check the health of a server every 5 minutes and send you a notification if it has any issues.

Looking for a quick way to improve the readability of your #golang tests? Check out Michael Lynch's blog post: https://t.co/XuK75GbnHh Even if you don't agree with it completely, there are some great tips and ideas to consider.

I've been using Warp ( https://t.co/3cK8XH2SYF) as my terminal for the last few months, and there are so many fun little features that you get without doing anything extra. For instance, if you run "go vet" or if your program panics, it frequently suggests a fix.
