Over time, you learn that clean code is an internal concern, but stable interfaces are external. Users do not care how your system is structured. They care that it behaves the same way today as it did yesterday.
By now we have a small Go API that is not embarrassing. For the last part, we are going to add the stuff that turns “cute demo” into “this could actually run”
In part 1 we built a small payment links API. In part 2 we are going to do the things everyone promises they will do “after launch” and then never do until something catches fire.
