Course description

The most important skill you were never taught. The ability to debug code locally and in production is critically important for any Go engineer, yet it is almost never directly taught. It took me years of working with Go in production to truly master debugging, and now I want to accelerate your learning by sharing everything I wish I had known at the start of my journey.
