Think Pragmatically: Elevating Your Go Development Skills
summary
Argues that pragmatic Go development means designing for easy to change code, picking good-enough over perfect to cut time-to-production, and using tools like GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT only for boilerplate while enforcing human review. Demonstrates a concrete payment-service example: a pluggable credit-card implementation, CI-deployed queue unblocking, unit-test breakage from messy code, and adding bank transfer/PayPal without touching other modules. Claims Pareto-style gains (90/10) and warns that AI speeds coding to minutes but can push debugging to 24+ hours.
