>same way you ship any code
Well, the article is specifically about Go instead of generalized universal advice so she put concrete syntax examples using the Go language (vs "any code" in any language). There are examples to wrap errors, report panics, and using structured logs. The specificity of real code snippets is useful.
>Useless, ad ridden article, frankly.
I'm guessing this is the real root of your complaint. In my view, the ads are tucked away to the side, not obnoxious, and are simply related to other O'Reilly offerings.
The actual programming advice in the article looks like it has value and I think you're being unfairly harsh.
- Loic 10y agoOn mobile (my phone) the ads are within the flow of the article, which at first confused me because each ad is nearly a full screen. On desktop it is way better.
- falcolas 10y agoThe advice may have Go examples, but is still very generic advice. It's also not really about shipping Go programs, it's about general hardening of programs. And to mirror a sibling comment, on mobile the ads are interspersed every couple of paragraphs, making it very hard to follow the flow of the article. Unfairly harsh? Clickbait headline, generic advice (with just enough Go examples to "justify" the title), aggressive styling to hide ads in the flow of the rest of the article... I disagree. I'm perhaps not being harsh enough.
- NiceGuy_Ty 10y agoI just scrolled through on mobile (materialistic app) and only saw one ad. Seems to me like you're being hyperbolic.
- falcolas 10y agoSo you're looking at it on an app that touts its readability mode, and think that I must be "hyperbolic"? I can count at least three inline O'Reilly ads, with adblock enabled.
