My favorite is when I come across a set of functions in Go with the same prefix that all take some struct treated as a bag of data. “validateUserRequest”, “processUserRequest”, “initializeUserRequest”, or something like that. You have written a type already, but made it annoying. Write methods for “Validate” and “Process”, then have a factory function “NewUserRequest” (consider whether you actually need it first though).
