Great read.
Devs just need to get over it. Other languages and libraries have embraced variations of Go's error pattern maybe with more syntactic sugar but lack of syntactic sugar is what makes Go, Go.

Handling the errors explicitly is great hygiene and documentation

Thanks for sharing, that was a good read.

I feel the Go way of error handling is one of those things that you hate when starting out, but you grow to love its simplicity after a while
