> Don't use pointers at all, always allocate structs on the stack
Unless one makes the rookie mistake of passing these structs to pkg log (which box to any/interface{}) instead of slog [0]... then they escape to heap. If a project relies on avoiding heap allocs, prudent to 'go build -gcflags="-m"' on every check-in, and review the diff from that too.
Good to know, but wouldn't that be something that pops up when profiling?
