  1. golangci-lint

    Fast linters runner for Go

    I noticed this issue only after running a linter. Sometimes we’re not familiar with the tricky edge cases or conventions of a particular language. A convenient way to catch and fix such issues — including formatting, styling, and even some security problems — is to use linters. For example, you can use golangci-lint for Go, ESLint for JavaScript, and Pylint for Python. In fact, almost every widely used programming language has its own linter or code quality tool. Linters are especially helpful when generating code with AI — they help keep your code clean and safe, at least to some degree.

  6. Testify

    A toolkit with common assertions and mocks that plays nicely with the standard library
