Go Developer interview questions: the 8 to ask

A Go developer builds high-performance back-end services and infrastructure tooling.

  1. 1.When would you use a channel rather than a mutex?
  2. 2.How do you avoid goroutine leaks?
  3. 3.How do you handle errors cleanly in Go?
  4. 4.What is the context package for?
  5. 5.How do you test concurrent code?
  6. 6.Implicit interfaces: benefits and pitfalls?
  7. 7.How do you profile a Go service (pprof)?
  8. 8.When do you use generics?

Tip: for every answer, ask for a concrete example (situation, action, result). An answer without an example is worth half.
