 it doesn't use caching and doesn't have some important performance optimizations.

     - Add `WithSince("next_version")`, where `next_version` must be replaced by the next minor version. (ex: v1.2.0 if the current version is v1.1.0)
 4. Find out what options do you need to configure for the linter.
    For example, `nakedret` has only 1 option: [`max-func-lines`](https://github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/blob/master/.golangci.reference.yml).
