Go's old $GOPATH story for development and dependencies

There is a small asterisk about "more clear" in that if one vendors the deps, they are guaranteed to be available, and not subject to github outages, which seems to be 99.5% of all go deps in the world

It for sure is easier to reason about a declarative text file than 18 quadrillion .go files in a subdirectory, but using go.mod does come with tradeoffs

Go uses $GOPROXY which points to https://proxy.golang.org/ by default with direct sources as fallback, very reliable
