[pair programming] code review random Golang git repositories

We read small github repositories, and try to understand the code and what design decisions were behind it.

Here is a list of such small Golang apps, you can add your own to it:

• https://github.com/it-timo/goboot/tree/main
• https://github.com/air-verse/air
• https://github.com/christianselig/apollo-backend
• https://github.com/miniflux/v2
• https://github.com/golang/pkgsite
• https://github.com/benbjohnson/wtf
• https://github.com/discourse/discourse
• https://github.com/bevane/repocheck
• https://github.com/saravanasai/goqueue

Together, we’ll:

• Read and understand the code
• Discuss the architectural decisions/its design
• Write some Architecture Decision Records (ADRs)
• Draw a class diagram and a C4 diargram
• Decide what testing strategy the repo should have
• Discuss pros and cons of the current implementation

It’s a great way to sharpen your architecture skills and see how others design and structure their systems.

No prep needed — just bring your curiosity and your intuition.
