When to avoid DRY in Go
If you’re here for the first time, this post is part of our Business Applications in Go series. Previously, we introduced Wild Workouts, our example application built with modern tools but containing some subtle anti-patterns. We added them on purpose to show common pitfalls and how to avoid them. In this post, we begin refactoring Wild Workouts. Previous articles will give you more context, but reading them isn’t necessary to understand this one.
