- Place images in the same directory as the post's `index.md`.
- Use `./create_post.sh` to scaffold a new post (calculates next Tuesday automatically).
- **Multiple posts on the same date:** If a date folder already has an `index.md`, prefix the filename with a number and dash (e.g., `0-index.md`). The newest/latest post should use the lowest number so it appears first on the homepage. The original `index.md` keeps its name.

title: "Feature(s) You Wish Existed in Language/Framework/Technology You Are Currently Using"

What is a feature, or two, that you wish existed in the language/framework/technology you are currently using? Why do you miss it? Does your current language/framework/technology have the feature but it's just implemented differently than you would like?

Inspired by myself and Omar being newbies with Go and trying not to impose our habits from other languages without a good justification. For example, we recently debated if we should use the [Testify](https://github.com/stretchr/testify) testing framework instead of Go's built in way to [testing](https://go.dev/doc/tutorial/add-a-test).

The link text "Testifuy" is misspelled; it should match the library name "Testify". Also "built in" should be hyphenated as "built-in" in this context.

Blog-post closing line should follow the standard wording in AGENTS.md ("Everyone and anyone are welcome... Zoom link will be posted at 12pm MDT."). This post currently uses "is" and omits the Zoom-link sentence.

The leading "*" starts emphasis but isn’t closed, which can italicize the remainder of the page unexpectedly. Close the emphasis (or remove the asterisks) so the markdown renders correctly.
