Ideally you'd have someone more experienced to do a code review and correct your mistakes if it's just a one off change, Go is not hard to pick up and compiler gives good hints usually.

I cannot stress enough that not all programming occurs in a work or even social context.

Besides, I did not say Go is hard to pick up. I said people should not need to read the entire manual, so to speak, to do things involving Go or any other language or tool. Cheat sheets like the linked article that outline the language in terms of "things you need to know as someone who already programs extensively" are thus actually quite helpful. That is all.
