Magic.dev issues we find in Go projects
Problems specific to Magic.dev's code generation patterns when building Go apps.
Complex implementations that are difficult to maintain
Magic.dev's ability to generate large, multi-file implementations means it can produce sophisticated code that works but is hard for human engineers to understand, debug, or extend.
Security decisions made at scale without explicit review
When Magic.dev generates an entire feature spanning many files, security decisions — API authentication, data access patterns, input validation — are embedded throughout without a clear review surface.
Over-engineered solutions for straightforward requirements
Magic.dev tends toward comprehensive, extensible implementations. Simple CRUD operations may receive complex abstraction layers, generic type systems, and plugin architectures that add maintenance burden.
Dependency on Magic.dev's specific AI model for future changes
Complex generated codebases are easiest to modify by re-running Magic.dev with updated prompts. This creates dependence on continued access to their service for ongoing development.
Go issues we check for
Common Go problems that affect production readiness.
Ignored error returns
The most common AI-generated Go anti-pattern: using _ to discard error returns from functions. Errors are silently ignored, and the code continues with zero or nil values, causing subtle data corruption.
Goroutine leaks
Goroutines spawned without context cancellation or timeout. They accumulate over time, consuming memory and causing the application to slow down and eventually crash.
Insecure default HTTP server
Using http.ListenAndServe with no timeouts configured. The default Go HTTP server has no read, write, or idle timeouts — making it vulnerable to slowloris and resource exhaustion attacks.
SQL injection via string formatting
Building SQL queries with fmt.Sprintf instead of using parameterized queries with database/sql placeholders, enabling injection attacks.

Frequently asked questions
Can you review Go code generated by Magic.dev?
Yes. We regularly audit Go projects built with Magic.dev and understand the specific patterns and issues it introduces. Our review covers security, performance, and deployment readiness.
What Go issues does Magic.dev typically create?
Common issues in Magic.dev-generated Go code include: complex implementations that are difficult to maintain, security decisions made at scale without explicit review, over-engineered solutions for straightforward requirements. Combined with Go-specific concerns like ignored error returns and goroutine leaks.
How do I make my Magic.dev Go project production-ready?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a prioritized list of issues. For Magic.dev-built Go projects, the typical path is: fix security gaps, address Go-specific performance issues, then configure deployment. We provide a fixed quote after the audit.
How much does it cost to review Magic.dev-generated Go code?
Our code audit starts at $19 and covers security, performance, architecture, and deployment readiness. For fixes, our Fix & Ship plan is $199. Larger projects get a custom fixed quote — no hourly billing or surprises.
