Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Libraries you use most of your projects?
Oh, also https://github.com/carlmjohnson/versioninfo . Always need that.

FreePad | A free self-hosted pad written in go
Don’t. It’s obsolete. Just use debug.ReadBuildInfo()
-
Makefile and Dockerfile best practices
That’s obsolete. See https://github.com/carlmjohnson/versioninfo. Even if it weren’t, Make is an inappropriate tool. Because it is based on file modtimes, it can’t react to git hash changes. You just have rerun the steps every time, at which point Bash is a less awful language.

How to embed version when `go install`-ing (since you cannot use go:generate or ldflags -X)
Go 1.18 updates the debug info to also include the git status of the build. See https://github.com/carlmjohnson/versioninfo
-
Go 1.18 - debug/info - why not include the current git tag?
I use this trick in my versioninfo package. Obviously, it can't give you other tags, but most of the time the tag you want to know about is v1.2.3 anyway, and since tags are mutable but the Go sum DB is immutable, this is safer than just saying what tag was on disk at build time.

Getting excited for Go 1.18's lesser known features
I subscribed to GH activity for the correspondence friendliness-enhancing library by the author:
https://github.com/carlmjohnson/versioninfo/
The primary motivation curiousity to learn if this becomes "the [best/default] way" folks reach for when leveraging BuildInfo to deliver explicit binary versioning.

Who moved my error codes? Adding error types to your GoLang GraphQL Server
GraphQL’s spec, as it turns out, does not specify how servers should handle internal errors at all, leaving it entirely to the choice of the frameworks’ creators. Take for example our GoLang GraphQL framework of choice - gqlgen. It makes no distinction between intentional and unexpected errors: all errors are returned as-is to the client within the error message. Internal errors, which often contain sensitive information like network details and internal URIs, would leak to clients easily if not caught manually by the programmer.

“Go is hard to justify unless at massive scale”
Better look into this one: https://github.com/99designs/gqlgen for GraphQL powered by Go. It's spec first approach and requires the least boilerplate code to write. It also incorporates seamlessly with Apollo Federation.
-
Go with PHP
I left PHP for Go.
- with http://sqlc.dev I don't have to write ORM or model code anymore.
- with http://goa.design I can have well-documented API's that any team can generate a client for in any language. It also generates the HTTP JSON and gRPC servers for me so I can focus on my logic.
- with https://github.com/99designs/gqlgen I can define GraphQL revolvers that play well with sqlc (any RDBMS) or I can use a key-value store.
- speaking of key-value stores, Go allows them to be embedded! Even SQLite now has the https://litestream.io/ project to make it super simple to use a durable, always backed-up SQLite database even in a serverless context.
Go is faster, uses less memory, and has really-well designed stdlib without all the bugs I used to face trying to use the PHP stdlib.

Libraries you use most of your projects?
In addition to the ones you mentioned, I also always use: + sqlc - Compile SQL to type-safe code + gqlgen - generate GraphQL server from schema + oapi-codegen - Go client and server boilerplate from OpenAPI 3 specifications + pester - Go http calls with retries and backoff + backoff - exponential backoff algorithm in Go

Ent: An Entity Framework for Go
I have no experience in Django but in Ent with GraphQL.
Ent is not a full-featured web framework so you need to implement many of features by your own or use other libraries (e.g. http server and session management).
If you are only looking for ORM + GraphQL then I highly recommend trying Entgql, an Ent extension for GraphQL with Gqlgen library [1]. Once you define an ORM schema, it will generate GraphQL Query for Relay server. Still you need to implement GraphQL Mutations by your own but at least it will create Input types for you (both for Create/Update).

Best packages?
gqlgen for GraphQL services. It's well documented and maintained.

Decent examples querying models from Postgres
For me sqlc work wonders. If you are developing a user facing api and are fine to go with graphql, with gqlgen you can even autobind (search the page for @goModel) the models that sqlc generates from your queries. A glorious match
