These "10x Commandments of Highly Effective Go" from @bitfield on the @jetbrains blog are terrific.
Some of these apply to any programming language, but I like the specific advice and examples for @golang devs.

Just a heads up, you won't be seeing much from me on here anymore. If you like my stuff, join my mailing list to get plenty of it:

I'm also in that other place we don't talk about (you know the one) as 'bitfieldconsulting'.
It's mostly been a pleasure!
“GoLand can do that?” 🤔
Yes! @bitfield reveals 10 of the IDE’s secret superpowers that make Go coding faster, safer, and easier – from smarter search and powerful debugging to AI-enhanced assistance.

Start with your dream API and work backwards. The magic function method changed how I design code. Simple yet powerful. #rust#programming#cleancode https://t.co/0K89Oo41nQ
Can't believe I forgot to mention this: you can buy all five of my Go books for the price of four today. How's that for a humble bundle? https://t.co/SfO3wMvDvs
”Layoffs are a fact of life in a volatile industry. You may not see the rocks coming; companies tend to fail gradually, then suddenly. But an unexpected transition to 'funemployment' needn’t be a disaster.“ https://t.co/vlHMP1VzN0
‘Graydon Hoare described Rust as “technology from the past, come to save the future from itself”. He wanted to build, not a new, exciting, and experimental programming language, but a solid, boring, reliable language, based on proven ideas that work.’ https://t.co/IoMHZ7GpOH
”For probably 80% of the software we write, Go gets the job done just fine. Rust, on the other hand, neatly fills the gaps where Go isn’t an ideal choice: kernels, firmware, embedded devices, real-time systems.“ https://t.co/FG2tW0wQ0W
My favourite particle is the muon. It's just so unnecessary (“who ordered that?”).
Its only job is to go round and round a massive fridge in Chicago, and occasionally let us see through pyramids. I love that one of the universe's 24 quantum fields is set aside just for this.
@AntonyMerleDev Yes, there's nothing praiseworthy about “speaking your mind”. A toddler can do that (and they do, all the time). It takes a grown-up to know when silence is the right thing to say.
“Never think that being polite is a sign of weakness,” Chen said. “It is really a sign of great strength. When people are rude, they expose their weaknesses. When we are polite, our enemies cannot see our weaknesses.”
