🌀 Go interfaces: simple on the surface, tricky underneath.

In 2025, too many Go projects still misuse interfaces — leading to nil surprises, unsafe type switches, and brittle abstractions.

⚡ Key points every Go dev should master:

  • Interfaces store type + data, so a nil pointer ≠ nil interface.
  • Empty interface {} is a last resort, not a default.
  • Keep interfaces small and local — easier to mock, easier to swap.
  • Type switches unlock real power (when used with care).
  • Polymorphism? Yes. Overengineering? No.

💡 Learn where to declare them, when to assert, and how Go’s dynamic dispatch actually works behind the scenes (no "Dog/Cat" clichés).
