Hello 👋 I wrote an article about unziping and ziping a directory using Golang since I didn't find a robust solution online. You can read it on my blog:

NucuLabs · How to zip and unzip a directory Go Hello everyone! 👋 I wanted to write a short article about zipping and unzipping a directory in Golang. The answer is quite simple, you can use the AddFS to add the entire directory to the zip file like so: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 package main import ( "archive/zip" "log/slog" "os" ) func main() { file, err := os.OpenFile("my_contents.zip", os.O_CREATE|os.O_WRONLY, 0644) if err != nil { slog.Error("failed to open file", "error", err) } writer := zip.NewWriter(file) err = writer.AddFS(os.DirFS("/home/denis/Pictures/not_in_train/zip_test")) if err != nil { slog.Error("failed to write files to zip archive", "error", err) } err = writer.Close() if err != nil { slog.Error("failed to close zip writer", "error", err) } } The AddFS will walk through the directory and add all the files to the zip file.

I am a fan of #golang. I don't say it enough. My love of #python, #bash, and #BASIC, I wear on my sleeve, but among the many other languages I code in, I almost always appreciate an opportunity to use Go. It just clicked for me in a way rust never did.

(Obligatory disclaimer upon realizing the date that this is not an April Fools post.)

jub0bs.com · Why concrete error types are superior to sentinel errors :: jub0bs.comTL;DR ¶ Exported concrete error types are superior to sentinel errors. They can be more performant, cannot be clobbered, and promote extensibility. Third-party function errutil.Find is a powerful alternative to standard-library function errors.As. Setting the scene ¶ Imagine that you’re writing a package named bluesky whose purpose is to check the availability of usernames on Bluesky, the up-and-coming social-media platform: package bluesky func IsAvailable(username string) (bool, error) { // actual implementation omitted return false, nil } Calls to IsAvailable may fail (i.
