I found a lot of my code (particularly the tests) had code that looked like this:   Then I was reading yet another great post from Karl Seguin and I noticed there was a much better (sexier) way....

When it comes to testing, the most common misunderstanding is the motivations of testing itself. Some folks see testing as a burden imposed from on high. Some folks see testing, or more specifically, test coverage, as a metric that determines how well they did their job. Sorry, but neither of these is true. This post will address these fallacies and give you a different perspective on testing.

Friends & fellow coders, I am overjoyed to share that part 2 has finally arrived. In this book, I share my secrets to writing high-quality Go code efficiently, effectively, and productively. It contains practical approaches to software engineering, software design, and code UX that will set you on the path to success. As you may know, in part 1, we focused on making our applications faster; part 2 focuses on making the programmer faster. As the DORA study has shown, writing high-quality code is key to delivering software quickly. For others, please pick up your copy of the book at your local Amazon website or your preferred bookstore.

All Golang programmer's are aware of how great "go get" is but until today I had not given much thought to how exactly it did or didn't do. Some background; today one of my builds (in Travis...

Recently, a friend joined me on one of my projects. As it was the first time we were actually coding on the same project I wanted to tell him my coding philosophy to make...

Just dropping a quick update to let you know that Beyond Effective Go part two is finally going off for professional editing tomorrow! After the tremendous response to part one, I'm determined...

Last week I was privileged to give a talk to the Singapore Gophers meet up held at the GrabTaxi Singapore Tech Office. The talk was titled "Dependency Injecting (and Testing)" and was inspired by this great article...

There seems to have been a lot of talk around me lately in relation to "dev boxes" and "testing on staging". After unsuccessfully trying to convince folks of why I think this is a bad...
