Web applications in Go face challenges of maintainability primarily due to strong coupling and misuse of principles like DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself). The post discusses how loose coupling can help maintainability and elaborates on common anti-patterns such as the Distributed Monolith and Single Model anti-pattern. It suggests tactics like separating models for API and storage, generating repetitive boilerplate code, and keeping business logic separate from implementation details to enhance code maintainability and clarity.
