You're misunderstanding what I'm saying. How the language works is relatively simple. Understanding what's going on when problems arise isn't.

* "how is my Cobra command being registered when I'm not calling any code?" -> "oh, there's an init function that registers the command when imported"

* "why is this variable not working?" -> "oh, it's that for loop thing again"

* "why does the result of my unit tests depend on the order of test execution?" -> "oh, we have 150 Cobra commands in one package with variables shared between _all_ of those commands"

* "how is this variable being set?" -> "oh, we have to call go build with a monstrous ldflags argument

* "why is CI not passing for this oneliner when this looked fine locally?" -> "oh, it's a linux-only file so the IDE isn't even showing me simple syntax errors"
