Are there any common pitfalls in Go that I should be aware of?

Yes, common pitfalls include excessive goroutine creation, improper use of channels, and not handling errors properly.

How can I optimize my code after identifying the issues?

Consider refactoring your code, using more efficient algorithms, and minimizing memory allocations to improve performance.
