Another day, another instance of trying to use some #golang code I found on the Internet throwing a nil pointer dereference panic, another moment spent wondering why you would design a language where that is possible in the 21st century
As much as I like to hate on #VibeCoding and #LLM s , #claude code helped me ship a bunch of fixes in a #golang codebase I was totally unfamiliar with, within a few hours. I guess it's a case of having the proper experience to steer the tool in the right direction and avoid hallucinations. A power hammer in the hands of an experienced programmer, a rubber hammer in the hands of a novice.
