    Have you debugged.it ?

Debugging seems to be the author's coding philosophy which says it all.

    While I had over a decade of experience in other languages, such as Python, PHP, Java, etc. 
    I found it extremely difficult to wrap my head around Go.

This could be because the author's introduction to programming and most of their experience has been with some very problematic languages.

Maybe it's not Go that is a terrible language but just that the author is not a systems programmer who has worked with large code bases ?
