Safely using Maps in Golang: Differences in declaration and initialization

#go 

Introduction

This week, I was working on one of the API wrapper packages for golang, and that dealt with sending post requests with URL encoded values, setting cookies, and all the fun stuff. However, while I was constructing the body, I was using url.Value type to construct the body, and use that to add and set key-value pairs. However, I was getting a wired nil pointer reference error in some of the parts, I thought it was because of some of the variables I set manually. However, by debugging closer, I found out a common pitfall or bad practice of just declaring a type but initializing it and that causing nil reference errors.

This week I made some mistakes at my job (well they were the week before) but they got caught after the review. I learned how powerful reviews could be at catching flaws in code. I also caught a bug while pair programming, it was a mixed feeling as a developer for me this week.
