Don't use checkErr functions

Mon, 10 Jul 2017 07:49:00 +0000

That saves you two lines every time an error is checked. As an implementation of checkErr is about five lines, you only need to handle three errors to start saving lines of code. Less code is better, right? I think the cost of writing a little boilerplate far outweigh the problems and limitations of checkErr, some of which are explained below.

10 Packages to Instrument Your Go Application

Tue, 11 Jul 2017 06:49:00 +0000

I keep writing small batch-processing applications. Go is nice for these because it allows relatively easy concurrent implementations. However, as with all things concurrent, it becomes difficult to see what is happening inside the process. I want to know what is happening to determine which parts to focus development effort on to, say, improve performance.
