This is the problem with an experienced dev writing a "Best practices for beginners" article. The beginner will read it as literally the best practice and commit it to memory as dogma, not considering suitable applicability and variations. I would say that beginners shouldn't be writing core algorithms as performance often matters. The post should be called beginner-friendly implementations of algorithms in Go, or something to that effect. The point being to learn about the algorithms rather than learning the right way to code algorithms.
