Byoyomi Explained (1997) (britgo.org)
"Cho Kisei, you've entered byoyomi. Ten minutes left." That must be a familiar sound to Cho Chikun, who goes into byoyomi in most of his games. In the Kisei title match, the time limit is eight hours per player. There are no chess clocks; the time is monitored by a timekeeper. When a player has used all except ten minutes of his time, the timekeeper reads out the seconds, which is the literal meaning of byoyomi.

Analyzing Go Build Times (2023) (howardjohn.info)
Go is often praised for its fast build times. While they are pretty quick, they are slow enough that I spend a lot of time waiting for them, enough that it prompted me to go down the rabbit hole of thoroughly analyzing them. This post covers all aspects of what makes Go builds fast or slow.

Two common Go interface misuses (konradreiche.com)
In Go, interfaces are often misused in two ways. First, interfaces are introduced prematurely by following object-oriented patterns from languages like Java. While well-intentioned, this approach adds unnecessary complexity early in the development process.

Fun with Go Iterators (xnacly.me)
Go version 1.23 added iterator support 1 and the iter package 2. We can now loop over constants, containers (maps, slices, arrays, strings) and functions. At first I found the iterator creation clunky, while consuming the iterator seems straightforward.
