I was looking at your blog to see if you wrote about why but didn’t find anything. Do you have anything written about this? Assuming AI is a key factor.

Oh are you developing against a deployed server? If that’s the case you should have multiple servers running per environment (dev, staging, prod)
If you are talking about local development this is where dotenv files have been helpful. You could always exec `DEVELOPMENT=true go run .`

Ah that makes sense. Cloudflare pages is nice for edge deployments.
Alternatively, you could use a Cloudflare Workers as a proxy to your Go backend. In my setup Pages will deploy the functions and it operates as a BFF.

I always try to use makefiles but it can be really challenging when working on larger teams where the desire and experience with using makefiles is typically lacking.
I’ve also used Containerfiles and --target to execute a single step. This enables reuse between the dev and CI.

Why not serve the frontend from the Go backend? I built this library to help with that github.com/jrschumacher...
Currently I’m using it in a private project, but will get the example working today.

Nice work. Is there a reason you didn’t want to use `find . -type d -name node_modules -exec rm -rf {} +`?

Yeah that is a bit of a challenge thankfully we were able to refactor some and eliminate a handful of them. Others we duplicate the queries with the variations.

Postgres it’s been 10 years since I’ve used Mongo last, but between the non-performant aggregations, lack of foreign keys, and enforcing constraints app side I lost a desire.
With Postgres I get ACID compliance and key-value with JSONB.

Go has pkg.go.dev but I agree crates.io is a better experience. Another thing to consider is that one of Go’s proverbs is “A little copying is better than a little dependency.” Coming from the Node community this resonated with the various supply chain attacks and the left-pad npm fiasco.

Sounds like it’s not configured to your liking. The `unused` linter will check for unused vars and the like golangci-lint.run/usage/linter... and the ifElseChain under gocritic will resolve the other golangci-lint.run/usage/linter...

I send my kids to a computer free school for this reason, but this problem predates LLMs. Moderate struggle fosters creativity and curiosity. I want them to learn how to do hard things early so they can be resilient and appreciate the scale of technology.

Do you use golangci-lint? Of course it would be nice if the compiler handled some of this, but it will handle most of these case you described.

It would be great if it had evolving opinions based on the latest trends on hackernews.

I felt similarly moving from JS but then 3 years later I picked it up again, this time I was fed up with JS variability and heavy reliance on toolchains. I just wanted something more opinionated. Go is now my go to even for scripting.

Generally, monolith is lower complexity but higher cost at scale while microservices are higher complexity and lower cost at scale.
So it just depends on your production reqs and team size.

We don’t use Websockets or (distinct REST) but ConnectRPC which supports gRPC and HTTP. We’ve also built a modular binary so it runs as a monolith or microservices depending on production needs.

A new tool shouldn’t be needed. You can use one the existing tools like github.com/evilmartians... to add precommit hooks for the various jobs. For go that will probably be golangci-lint and go test.

I think this is an under appreciated technique. This makes decisions not to use a value explicit rather than implicit.

Try concave earth theory. There are some Wikipedia articles but the only posting I’ve found online giving it some modicum of credibility was this site web.archive.org/web/20220125...
