By your logic, any attempt to optimize code written in Go makes no sense. But there are many of us who use go for the reasons you described and still care about efficiency, and especially about cases where trivial changes have significant consequences (one can argue if this particular article qualifies or not).
- avgcorrection 4y agoNo, not by their logic. The question is presented as a filter. A filter needs to be (1) so obvious that it is learned by osmosis for a good practitioner, or (2) so useful that they are going to need it in their daily work. Why would any of these two hold for a Go dev job?
- kasey_junk 4y agoThe post is suggesting that they were testing a surprising answer to the filter. A candidate took a look at the cast and claimed it was inefficient. The author was double checking their intuition that it shouldn’t be. We don’t know the shape or result of the filter at all from the article.
