I think this article is a little bit shortsighted. You should probably be studying vgo in 2018 instead of using the old and soon-to-be deprecated way. Of course, this being golang, I'm about to get a bunch of replies from people who think they know better suggesting that vgo is terrible and describe their stockholm-syndrome-like relationship with GOPATH.

vgo is the only reason I am willing to give Go the time of day in 2018.
