I'm a Go developer using Go for commercial projects in production.

I can tell that the article and its comments is absolutely misleading. Seems that the developer(s) are trying to justify the lack of professionalism and blame language/tools/someone else. In the article I see total misunderstanding of how the Go ecosystem works, strange decisions, obvious failures during development and weird situations like 'original dev cannot compile the code anymore'.

I think an engineer should have a decent understanding of the tools/concepts/... BEFORE starting to use them. Not AFTER some problems occur.
