A colleague, Madhav Jivrajani, recently posted about the debug/buildinfo standard library package in Golang in my company slack channel https://pkg.go.dev/debug/buildinfo It is a package present from golang 1.18beta1 version So I figured I’ll give it a try than defer it for later ;) I got the beta version using gvm gvm list-all -u gvm install 1.18beta1 gvm set 1.18beta1 go version Then I used VS Code editor to start off a small demo project to try out the debug/buildinfo package.

I think this is very intuitive and straight forward topic. Pretty cliche too. But I think it’s important to talk about it nevertheless There are so many technical articles on the Internet. Lot of technical content. Many of them also include code. I have seen different websites display code in many different ways. In my blog, the code display is very very basic actually 🙈 But I have high expectations from other people now 🙈 Let’s go over them!

I love the current era of software for some reasons. It’s making lives easier at times. For example - there’s tons of tooling out there to help with a lot of things People writing new products and software and tech are also considering things like upgradability, maintenance, migration etc For example, if you are migrating a software from one major version (semantic versioning) to another major version, and also doing cool crazy stuff like doing skip upgrades like v3.
