+deadcode: Finds unused code [fast: true, auto-fix: false]
 errcheck: Errcheck is a program for checking for unchecked errors in go programs. These unchecked errors can be critical bugs in some cases [fast: true, auto-fix: false]
-staticcheck: Staticcheck is a go vet on steroids, applying a ton of static analysis checks [fast: false, auto-fix: false]
-unused: Checks Go code for unused constants, variables, functions and types [fast: false, auto-fix: false]
 gosimple: Linter for Go source code that specializes in simplifying a code [fast: false, auto-fix: false]
-structcheck: Finds an unused struct fields [fast: true, auto-fix: false]
-varcheck: Finds unused global variables and constants [fast: true, auto-fix: false]
