Dependency injection (DI) containers help, but most are either too heavy or don’t handle circular dependencies well. I wanted something fast, simple, and safe. So I built my own DI container in Go. Let me walk you through it, piece by piece, like I’m sitting next to you. First, understand the problem. When you have a service that needs a database, and that database needs a config, and the config needs a secret loader, you end up writing a lot of "new" calls.
