Personal, Professional, and Practical #golang training from the community leaders @markbates and @corylanou Authors Go fundamentals bit.ly/gofundamentals

Want to learn how to do this? Join me at @GopherCon for a workshop on how to use AI to write code like you do! gophercon.com
This is what work looks like for me now. An AI intelligent orchestrator laid out as a kanban board across projects. I run this on multiple computers, each project has specific workflow instructions (just like real projects have different requirements). This ships code like i do, with my 30 years of engineering practice in play. All tailored to each project. Also, written in #golang of course... github.com/digitaldrywood/de… It can use @OpenAI or @AnthropicAI models as backends for the LLM or @ollama. You can specify which effort level per task, and effort level per lane (merging usually doesn't need xhigh for example). Again, all this knowledge lives in the workflow for each project, so each project has it's own knobs to turn for efficiency and accuracy when it comes to gating effort and accuracy of the work tasks. I've been using this for months, and can't express how effective this truly is for real developers. This is NOT vibe coding, this is real engineering practice put into a real workflow/process.

Your code works. But can it go faster? ⚡ Join @corylanou at #GopherCon for a hands-on workshop focused on profiling and optimizing Go programs. You'll learn how to benchmark your code, use pprof to identify bottlenecks, analyze profiles and flame graphs, and uncover common performance issues before they impact production. 🚀 Whether you're tuning services, optimizing CLI tools, or simply want to better understand where your programs spend their time, this workshop will give you the tools to measure, diagnose, and improve performance with confidence. 🎟️ gophercon.com #RoadToGopherCon #golang

AI is incredible at generating bad Go code that looks like good Java code. I see it in every rescue mission - teams drowning in technical debt from AI-generated 'solutions' they don't understand. gopherguides.com/articles/wh… #golang #training

It's been way to long since we wrote a #golang article for our blog (gopherguides.com/articles). Who has some ideas for us on what to write about? We always include code samples and background for the articles, so let us know needs more reference material out there!

Want to learn about a new package in #golang? Write a blog... publish it, turn that blog into a meetup presentation, present it. Wait for the feedback. Update the blog. Update the blog again. Probably not done yet, but really great feedback so far. gopherguides.com/articles/go…

It's time for Unpopular Opinions! 🤘 @jboursiquot thinks we put generics in Go to shut the critics up, not because we really needed it 🔥 (✂️ from gotime.fm/268) #golang

Feedback from your students like this makes getting up at 3AM for a week (including Sunday) to teach #golang for @gopherguides in a different timezone all worth it! Student Feedback: "I think this was one of the best technical courses I had."

Ok, here's to carving out the first quarter of 2022 for chapter re-writes to show how Go works with generics... #golang.
“Go 1.18 Beta 1 is available, with generics” 🎉 🎉 — go.dev/blog/go1.18beta1 This is a huge step for Go, with a ton of work behind it. Thanks to everyone who helped us get this far. Huge thanks to the team here, who did a lot of heavy lifting. – @_rsc #golang
