Can't imagine this being better than Effective Go: https://go.dev/doc/effective_go

Not a single sample chapter / reading sample? That's unusual.

$24.99 for everything that available in Golang document? Base on the image, how many percent of the book written by AI?

Only 300%, the rest is human, battle proved and tested code.

It's not clear why this is being upvoted.

There is not a sample chapter to check, the two authors own the website and appear to be just some developers who know go, and frankly the cover looks AI generated.

As a go developer, why am I supposed to care about this?

If you have never written any Go before, the tour is probably the first starting point: https://go.dev/tour/welcome/1

Generated by ChatGPT, judging by the piss tinge.

Kind of off topic but I don't understand the reading time. It says "7.8h 48m". What does that even mean?

The total time is 7.8 hours, so 7 hours 48 minutes. A wrong format string with decimal hours instead of full hours?

With this kind of attention to detail I would not purchase anything.
