Build It! With or Without Tools
summary
Compares renovating a kitchen to evolving production code and shows concrete outcomes: replaced rusting galvanized steel drains with PVC drains and proved them with a bathtub leak test, rewired lighting to National Electric Code spacing, discovered a termite‑rotted primary beam and hired contractors while observing their techniques. Recommends using go doc, package.go, and tools like go test/pprof/delve to learn, verify fixes, or know when to call an expert and keep building to gain practical skill.
