The program that produced it
package main

import (
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	var b strings.Builder
	b.WriteStrin("x")
}

For methods, check the receiver: a method with a pointer receiver is not in the method set of the value type when the value is not addressable.

The mistake and the fix

The mistake
var b strings.Builder
b.WriteStrin("x")
Fixed
var b strings.Builder
b.WriteString("x") 

The fix

Use one of the fields or methods of the type.
