    I don’t get the concept that depending on 7 lines of code from a third-party package is remotely acceptable. It’s expanding the potential attack surface to save a dev from templating 7 lines of boilerplate. There’s no net benefit or appreciable time saved.

    I’m glad I don’t have to deal with this regularly.

    ETA: The package is even MIT licensed! There’s no excuse but laziness and not wanting to understand the code to import this rather than inlining or implementing a novel version. If I can spend the time to write:

    if err != nil {
      slog.Warn("well shit", "error", err)
      return err
    }
    

    after every function call…I just didn’t get it.
