Safety notes

  • go run drops a binary in /tmp. Review unknown Go sources before running them.

Common mistakes

  • Letting go.mod's go 1.x line drift behind the ecosystem leads to dependency-resolution failures.
  • Spawning unbounded goroutines crashes the runtime. Use pools or concurrency limits.
