Procedural Memory in Coding
- Procedural memory helps developers instinctively navigate code without conscious effort.
- Code formatting tools like gofmt create consistent, predictable syntax that aids this instinct.
Go Fmt Creates Code Consistency
- Go's strict formatting standard fosters consistent coding style across developers.
- This consistency makes codebases instantly recognizable and easier to read regardless of author.
Build Custom Tools When Needed
- Write your own tools when off-the-shelf solutions don’t fit or aren’t discoverable.
- Building small modular CLI tools in Go can speed up repetitive, complex workflows.

The Go ecosystem has a hoard of tools and editors for Gophers to choose from and it can be difficult to find ones that are a good fit for each individual. In this episode, we discuss what tools and editors we’re using, the ones we wish existed, how we go about finding new ones, and why we sometimes choose to write our own tools.
