Indeed.

What I hate is that even after having a good understanding of software development and computer science fundamentals, and having a good picture of the solution to a given problem, I still cannot today program without having to perform multiple Google searches, reading Stack Overflow messages, etc. to deal with what should be trivial stuff.

Just for example, if I were to need a set, I would search for "set" in Go documentation. If the set itself is not included, on the very least the documentation should talk about what should I do instead. But they won't even have that in there. Result: Few more Google searches.
