In programming, where syntax and structure are the maestros orchestrating the flow of logic, Go's struct declaration stands out as a masterpiece of minimalist design. But to appreciate its artistry, w

Why should we care so much about naming as developers? Code comes and goes, but language prevails. When a team is working on a project, they must develop a shared language on how things work, how they
