Help with setting up Ben Johnson's wtf repo locally
I am new to go. Found wtf dial - ( https://github.com/benbjohnson/wtf ) while looking to get some project based learning. This looks pretty interesting but when I did git clone of the project my vs code is giving number dependency related problems like below.

Educational Codebases
There are a few Go projects meant to be learned from:
- https://github.com/pion/opus for to learn audio
- https://github.com/benbjohnson/wtf for overall production quality
- https://github.com/upspin/upspin difficult to explain, personally I'm not a fan of the errors
- Ben Johnson's WTF project layout: interface usage
- Exemple of Web API written in Go that you'd consider high quality
-
Directory structure for a golang project
I read about https://github.com/benbjohnson/wtf and the connected blog here a couple of times. Seems quite good.
- Project structure - I often see duplicate function names in db layers, why?
-
The one-and-only, must-have, eternal Go project layout
Personally I think the method is the layered architecture approach. Example: https://github.com/benbjohnson/wtf

Examples of Good Go Repos
Take a look at the discussions in the repo: https://github.com/benbjohnson/wtf/discussions

Examples of an idiomatic API project
https://github.com/benbjohnson/wtf This repo serves as an example and fits Go very well in my opinion. Check the discussions on the repo and the blog posts.
- what do you use for migrations? or how do you the sql tables and seeding?

Should I take the Ardan Labs course? If yes, then which one?
Ultimate Service was useful for me. None of the "backend" concepts were new, but you get to see how Bill would layout/design an API-based service. If you're experienced you'll notice the opinionated choices he makes, and I found myself saying "Nah, I'm not sure I'd do it like that". I appreciated its use of Kubernetes and KIND as I'd never played with them before. How he uses Docker to spin up a DB instance for tests is pretty cool. There's a lot of copy & paste as you code along with him (you copy from the "finished project" and paste into your work in progress). The full example project is online at https://github.com/ardanlabs/service. You won't write all that code, and this version is newer than the one I did, but it gives you an idea of what you might learn.

If you could go back in time | What would you do different regarding go
So what can you do insted? For testing databases, setup a docker instance for tests (e.g. like in https://github.com/ardanlabs/service), or start an embedded-postgres daemon (see https://github.com/fergusstrange/embedded-postgres). For communication with external APIs, just pass the http.Client (either in context.Context or as a field on the struct). Then in tests, you can override the http.Client.Transport func.
- Where can I find well-written go code to learn from?
-
GO web sever - file structuring convention
Take a look at https://github.com/ardanlabs/service from Bill Kennedy. You can probably simplify the structure a bit since your project is minimal, but that repo is gold.

Say you're mentoring someone just getting comfortable with go. What do you think they should know?
Checkout https://github.com/ardanlabs/service for inporation. Tip: try to avoid creating a service package with all services, a domain package with all domain structs, etc.

Any resources on building a simple web app with Go without any frameworks?
Or go through this repo https://github.com/ardanlabs/service

GitHub - johnwarden/httperror: Golang package for returning errors instead of handling them directly.
I've seen this handler modification and wrapping pattern in Ardan Labs' service repository. https://github.com/ardanlabs/service/tree/master/foundation/web

REST API project structure
https://github.com/ardanlabs/service This is something which I really like and has taken into account a lot of engineering decisions.
- GitHub examples of Go that's written really well?
- Is "Let's go" and "Let's go further" worth it?
What are some alternatives?
