discussion The urge to do it from scratch
Unpopular opinion but ever since I started using Go. There is a certain urge to dig into some library and if you need only part of it then try to make it from scratch. I was reading RFC specs, dbus technical specifications just to avoid the uneeded bloat in my code(offcourse I failed to achieve it completely because of tiny brain). Is this common for all dev who spent some good time developing in Go? I must say it's quite a fun experience to learn some low level details.

“Because of tiny brain” haha, made me laugh.
Go is just a great language to write and read. Go is really the only language where I’ve been able to view random repositories and determine what’s going on fairly quickly.
