Are there any decent ORMs in Golang?
But using a query builder, something like squirrel or (plug) bqb, allows you to actually write SQL (or something close to it) when you need it but also handles the nasty string building bits. Though I agree that ORMs are not always bad, especially for small projects with well-defined scope.

GORM
Plug for bqb as a query builder, but there's also squirrel which works pretty well too.

Best packages?
(plug) bqb for very simple query building.

ORM vs SQL Builder in Go
Squirrel is great! Let me also plug bqb.

Open Source Go Projects for learning go
Plug: BQB (basic query builder) is small, 100% test coverage, and in AwesomeGo. A great starter project.

Where to find a virtual or local Go mentor?
I totally understand this. If you do go with a query builder, may I recommend bqb (shameless plug) as it allows you to remain closer to the SQL than some alternatives and doesn't do anything fancy. We stripped out 50% of our query logic with it in our org, which has enabled us to more readily tweak the SQL for performance.

Does gorm worth learning?
There's also bqb. We use it in production at our company -- much better than raw SQL. If you couple it with something like scany then you get more of the ORM benefits without the complexity.

Any "simple" projects with particularly well-written and/or well-documented code for a beginner to look through?
Another shameless plug: https://github.com/nullism/bqb pretty tiny query builder with 100% test coverage

Autenticação com Golang e AWS Cognito
Primeiro vamos carregar nossas envs com o pacote godotenv, depois iniciamos nosso cognito client, passando o COGNITO_CLIENT_ID, que pegamos anteriormente, depois iniciamos o gin e criamos um server, isso é o suficiente.

Tools besides Go for a newbie
IDE: use whatever make you productive. I personally use vscode. VCS: git, as golang communities use github heavily as base for many libraries. AFAIK Linter: use staticcheck for linting as it looks like mostly used linting tool in go, supported by many also. In Vscode it will be recommended once you install go plugin. Libraries/Framework: actually the standard libraries already included many things you need, decent enough for your day-to-day development cycles(e.g. `net/http`). But here are things for extra: - Struct fields validator: validator - Http server lib: chi router , httprouter , fasthttp (for non standard http implementations, but fast) - Web Framework: echo , gin , fiber , beego , etc - Http client lib: most already covered by stdlib(net/http), so you rarely need extra lib for this, but if you really need some are: resty - CLI: cobra - Config: godotenv , viper - DB Drivers: sqlx , postgre , sqlite , mysql - nosql: redis , mongodb , elasticsearch - ORM: gorm , entgo , sqlc(codegen) - JS Transpiler: gopherjs - GUI: fyne - grpc: grpc - logging: zerolog - test: testify , gomock , dockertest - and many others you can find here

Reading Environment Variable from a .env file on a Server
In his code it is done using https://github.com/joho/godotenv
- Libraries you use most of your projects?

Is this clear why its useful?
There is already a more complete, safer and neatly written godotenv alternative. It may be taken as an educational inspiration for next attempts.

I need some help setting up variables for the sake of my sanity
Chances are you are going to set them in you real server, and most likely you will going to use Linux for that. So for local development create a .env file with those in there. And at the start of you program, load them. You can use https://github.com/joho/godotenv Don’t share that file of course, and don’t put it in git.
