Go Coding Standards

Basic Principles

One Function, One Responsibility

• If function name connects with "and" or "or", it's a signal to split
• If test cases are needed for each if branch, it's a signal to split

Conditional and Loop Depth Limited to 2 Levels

• Minimize depth using early return whenever possible
• If still heavy, extract into separate functions

Make Function Side Effects Explicit

• Example: If getUser also runs updateLastAccess(), specify it in the function name

Convert Magic Numbers/Strings to Constants When Possible
