   Avoiding early returns usually makes code harder to read. It's outdated advice which was meant for writing assembly.

    I got a printed copy of this book. It's a great introduction to x86.

    I've held off of using modules for this reason. I can't take that productivity hit.

    Coming up with a complex solution is much easier than finding a simple one. Go forces you to find those simple solutions. There are places where generics are the only solution, but they also enable lazy design.
