I used Docker to containerize projects like Bender and my custom OTel Collector. However, after glancing at one of the projects my teammates were working on, I decided to take a look at ko. Oh my gosh! Ko is such a magnificent tool! It brings the simplicity, efficiency, and fun of Go to containerization. If you need to build a container for your Go app, stop searching and start using ko. To build a container, you don’t need Docker.

However, I needed them version order, so I tried my old friend sort: ...

The Problem You’re using a great open source library in your project, and then, one day, you find yourself thinking: “Oh, wouldn’t be great if the author just added a tiny little log statement in that function?”. Yeah, it really would, this would allow me to trace the value of that variable or try a small change. What can you do: fork the library? Nope. Don’t do that. Replace it! You can temporarily replace the original module with a local copy, changing one line in your go.mod file. ...
