> the ubiquitous `interface{}` pattern

I’m totally biased because I’ve worked on and with go for a decade, including reviewing all sorts of Go we write at Google, but I just don’t get this criticism. It’s just not something I see in the code bases I work on. I admit that I may be working on different kinds of programs to what some others do, and I don’t want to deny anyone their legitimate experiences, but my personal experience has been that this is rarely a thing, if ever.
