That is my best suggestion off the top of my head. Feel free to add more, if there is something I am overlooking 😊
* 'five lines' should be 'five meaningful lines' ie. excluding the return check ifs.
* 'if only at the start' becomes 'logical decisions only at the start'
* Add a rule about not accessing mutable fields of a non-receiver argument -- to enforce encapsulation.
I think Go is "object-oriented enough" for what my book requires, since it is possible to implement Strategy Pattern in Go. From my limited knowledge, I would suggest the following slight modifications:
First of all, thank you for the question! It is one that I get quite a bit actually. Unfortunately, I haven't much experience with Go, since I am a type theorist. I think my good friend @randomsort is better equipped to answer.

If you're looking for a new job, don't simply tell your interviewer:
- "I've been a software engineer for 3 years"
You should measure your own experience in qualitative terms. Not number of years.
Try these ideas instead:

In #software, less is more.
@thedrlambda spoke to @KevlinHenney about #refactoring focused on concrete rules and getting any method down to five lines or less. Improve code readability & testability while identifying performance bottlenecks

I had a chance to spend an hour with one of my greatest idols @KevlinHenney. I had such a great time and we discussed really interesting topics!
In software, less is more. When writing efficient code, the Five Lines of Code Principle is key

This week’s Commoncog essay is a deep dive into the cursed question: “what do you do in business when you can’t predict the outcomes of your actions?”
But let’s set this up …
Recently, I was asked to recommend 5 programming books, and after a lot of reflection I came up with these: shepherd.com/best-books/read…

Ok, can GPT-4 *actually* write code? I tested it a bunch with some real-world examples and constructed "simple but hard" problems. tylerglaiel.substack.com/p/c…
Absolute pleasure to talk with @julian_wood about code quality and software architecture
Running tests after each change are key elements of #refactoring that help you to improve your code.
Watch this #GOTOunscripted ep where @thedrlambda spoke to @julian_wood about actionable things you can do to improve code without relying on code smells.

I still love this quote:
"If an idea is good and it turns out to be true somebody else will have done it.
If an idea is stupid you have a chance that nobody else is dumb enough to try it.
Then if it happens to work you really have something!" -- @KentBeck
