The most recent one I learned about the hard way was module caching using the Go proxy while building several microservices for a side project. Because it&rsquo;s a side project, a lot of the planning has been done on a whiteboard and by writing shitty throw away code before implementing anything useful. /posts/2024/07/git-index/ Wed, 17 Jul 2024 15:52:22 -0700 /posts/2024/07/git-index/ TL;DR Be careful how file path values are written to the git index because they can be set to any value (not just filenames) if you&rsquo;re manipulating the index manually instead of with git. I created a repo with all the code snippets to make things easier to follow instead having of digging through my project with of unrelated application logic. Project I was working on a Go project recently that needed to interact with a git repo that took me down a very unexpected, but interesting, rabbit hole. /posts/2024/07/go-application-version/ Mon, 08 Jul 2024 14:40:23 -0700 /posts/2024/07/go-application-version/ Until recently, I didn&rsquo;t really think about how to get an application&rsquo;s version into its binary without some horrendous use of sed or manually changing hardcoded values. Normally my application&rsquo;s version is just the Docker image tag, but how do I get the version info into the actually binary? Digging through the internet I found a super easy way to have the linker do it with ldflags. Just create a global variable where your main function lives:
