Go 1.18 was a big release with huge features like generics, fuzzing, and workspaces. There was plenty of excitement around its minor or even ultra-minor features. Go 1.19 is not a release on that scale. But it does pack in a lot of small improvements that can help the average Go developer. Let’s take a look at what some of them are.

My blog gets generated with Hugo, which I’m generally happy with. Until recently, I hosted the static files on Netlify but now decided to get my own little server again. There are two main reasons for this:
