Go Code Review Comments List covers 10 rules every reviewer cites

Short summary

Go's Code Review Comments list outlines 10 widely-cited rules for Go development, covering error formatting (lowercase, no periods for wrapping), receiver consistency, explicit context passing, doc conventions, and error handling patterns. Each rule addresses specific technical concerns—error clarity in chains, method consistency, concurrency safety. The article explains the reasoning behind each rule and notes that tooling (go vet, golangci-lint) can automatically enforce most of them.
