I agree but those first 5 days are going to be a mixed bag as you pick through libraries for logging, database drivers, migrations, as well as project organization, dependency injection patterns for testing, organize your testing structure, and more.
If you have a template to derive from or sufficient Go experience you'll be fine, but selecting from a grab bag of small libraries early on in a project can be a distraction that slows down feature development significantly.
I love Go but for rapid project development, like working on a personal project with limited time, or at a startup with ambitious goals, Go certainly has its tradeoffs.
