A practical guide to error handling in Go

The article details how the engineering team at Sourcegraph significantly reduced the size of their Agent Go binaries (used for code intelligence) by up to 77% through a combination of techniques. Primarily, they focused on using UPX compression, optimizing dependencies with tools like `go-slim`, and leveraging newer Go compiler features for smaller binaries. These changes resulted in faster startup times, reduced disk space usage, and improved deployment efficiency for their Agent.
