Motivation even better tools
go.tools/cover
Naming things func validateFlags() error “notice that the purpose of
this is to set up state; the validation is secondary. it's misnamed.” - r
Error messages "phrasing: say what's wrong, not how to fix
it.” ! return fmt.Errorf("unexpected argument provided”) “this isn't quite right. "extra argument"? "too many arguments"?” - r
None
Code style pathsToRemove := make([]string, 0) ! “Just write: !
var pathsToRemove []string” - iant! https://code.google.com/p/go-wiki/wiki/CodeReviewComments
Effective use of the standard library ! atomic.AddInt32(&c.val, 1) !
“use ioutil.TempDir to create a unique root for this test run” - dfc!
– rsc “The goal here should be to expose the
minimal necessary functionality that lets people build useful things…” API design
– rsc “The problem with callbacks is that you now
have to worry about user code blocking (or panicking) a library goroutine. ! A channel is a much better separation.” I hadn’t considered…
– rsc “There is no testing benefit here to the
interface over a simple struct with only public fields.” Keep it simple
–Chad Fowler “Pick an open source project that you admire
and whose developers appear to be at that "next level" you’re looking to reach.” Motivation
