#2Useful tool, but it has some bugs related to consecutive build failures. Restarting Air is required to fix it. I still use it, just wish I didn't have to restart it frequently.

#3I've found it simple enough to start a goroutine to watch argv[0] and exec it if it's newer than the startup time of the process.
Unlike other languages with insane build and link times, I've never needed this for Go. Builds are nearly instantaneous.

#5When writing go, I've always found if I find myself constantly restarting & recompiling a program during development, it means that I should be writing tests instead.

Yep it’s actually one of the things i love. If waiting for go compile time has gotten to be a problem it is time for tests or to refactor if a test can’t be easily written.

That can’t handle file creation after the command is run, though, right?

#8I built something like this in Go a few years ago but it reloads your infrastructure when it changes, recompiles your code when it needs to, and syncs static files or interpreted files to wherever your app is running (desktop or cloud). Think of it like docker-compose but with file watching + sync + smart rebuilds. https://skaffold.dev/

I'm not sure about "find" -- but I also use "entr" for this (and just about a billion other tasks, is there anything you can't use it for?) and I personally do something like:
ls src/**/*.filetype | entr -r -s "some command"

You're the author of Skaffold?
Damn that's impressive
