There are three easy to make mistakes in go. I present them here in the way they are often found in the wild, not in the way that is easiest to understand.

All three of these mistakes have been made in Kubernetes code, getting past code review at least once each that I know of.

1. Loop variables are scoped outside the loop.

What do these lines do? Make predictions and then scroll down.

func print(pi *int) { fmt.Println(*pi) }

// 1. Go to https://twitter.com/i/likes
// 2. Keep scrolling to the bottom repeatedly until all your favs are loaded.
// 3. Run this in your console (open in chrome by View > Developer > JavaScript Console)
// Notes: this may take a while if you have a lot of favs/likes
//       you can only access your most recent ~2000 likes.

FWIW: I didn't produce the content presented here (the outline from Edmond Lau's book). I've just copy-pasted it from somewhere over the Internet, but I cannot remember what exactly the original source is. I was also not able to find the author's name, so I cannot give him/her the proper credits.
