Twelve Go Best Practices
    if err == nil {
        _, err := w.Write([]byte(g.Name))
        if err == nil {
            err := binary.Write(w, binary.LittleEndian, g.Age)
            if err == nil {
                return binary.Write(w, binary.LittleEndian, g.FurColor)
            }
            return err
        }
        return err
    }

Why does anyone have to tell people not to do this? How does it enter anyone's mind as a thing to do in the first place? I've been known to go too far to minimize nesting. I get twitchy at the second level. By the third my brain is trying to crawl out my eyes and strangle me, even on code that doesn't have a potential exit point at every level.
