1. Constructors **must** be called `New()`. `modulename.New()` works great if

you name the packages properly. If the constructor creates an instance from
|

an existing value or representation, `From<Something>()` (e.g.
|

`FromBytes()`, `FromConfig()`) is also acceptable. If the package contains
|
||||
multiple types and `New()` is ambiguous, `NewThing()` is occasionally
|
||||
acceptable — but prefer restructuring packages so each type gets its own
|
||||
package and a plain `New()`. Do not invent creative constructor names like
|
||||
`Create()`, `Make()`, `Build()`, `Open()` (unless wrapping an OS resource),
|
||||
or `Init()`. If you see a constructor with a non-standard name, rename it.

1. Use descriptive names for modules and filenames. Avoid generic names like

`server`. `util` is banned.

1. Constructors should take a Params struct if they need more than 1-2

arguments. Positional arguments are an endless source of bugs and should be

avoided whenever possible.
|

1. Constructors **must** take a `Params` struct (or `ThingParams` when
|
||||
`NewThing()` is used), even for a single argument. Named fields in a Params
|
||||
struct are always clearer than positional arguments. Positional arguments
|
||||
for constructors are an endless source of bugs — they make call sites
|
||||
unreadable, invite wrong-order errors that the compiler can't catch when
|
||||
types coincide, and force every caller to update when a new field is added.
|
||||
The only exception is when the single argument is stupidly obvious from
|
||||
context — e.g. `featureflag.New(true)` or `thing.NewFromReader(r)`. When in
|

doubt, use a Params struct.

1. Use `context.Context` for all functions that need it. If you don't need it,

you can pass `context.Background()`. Anything long-running should get and
