I'm not aware of any serious Go project without linting and tests.

In fact, most projects I've worked on won't even merge a PR with ignored errors.

Also, `go test -race` is a Go feature, there's nothing wrong with using it.

go test -race is awesome and everyone should use it.

But it's worth remembering that it's a dynamic analysis that only covers access patterns created by your tests.
