Trade-offs between dependency management and change control When you take the first step into the software world, it is almost impossible not to encounter the term DRY (Don’t Repeat Yourself). This is because we’re using functions, abstractions, etc., not to repeat ourselves in our projects. However, is this idea always valid in every situation? For example, think […]
Accessing an e-mail account anywhere in the world on any device requires authenticating yourself to prove the data associated with the account (e.g., e-mail address and inbox messages) belongs to you. Often, you must fill out a login form with credentials, such as an e-mail address and password, that uniquely identify your account. When creating […]
Wails to the Golang GUI framework! Today marks the release of Wails v2. It’s been about 18 months since the first v2 alpha and about a year from the first beta release. I’m truly grateful to everyone involved in the evolution of the project. Part of the reason it took that long was due to wanting to […]
When you start to build web applications with Go, one of the first questions you’ll probably ask is “which golang router should I use?” It’s not an easy question to answer, either. Probably more than 100 different routers are available, all with different APIs, features, and behaviors. So for this blog post I’ve evaluated 30 […]
ko is a simple, fast container image builder for Go applications. It’s ideal for use cases where your image contains a single Go application without any/many dependencies on the OS base image (e.g., no cgo, no OS package dependencies). ko builds images by effectively executing go build on your local machine and as such, doesn’t require docker to be installed. This […]

Intro – Rapid Software Development in the Modern World with Golang (Feel free to skip to the tutorial) This post is the first in a planned series about rapid software development in the modern world. Elad was talking to me about how non-trivial it has become to choose a stack in today’s world. And let’s say […]
A Golang-based command line tool for CI/CD pipelines (and dev machines) that helps to prevent Go spaghetti code (a.k.a. big ball of mud). Thankfully, in the Go world, the compiler already prevents circular dependencies between packages. So this tool has to care only about additional undesired dependencies. I gave a talk that included the motivation for […]
