The panel dig deep on code generation in Go. Touching on the new go:embed feature in Go 1.16.
They also discuss IDLs (interface description language) and DSLs (domain specific languages) and the part they play in code generation.
Brian talks about how we’re all guilty of overusing language features, like channels (see Go channels are bad and you should feel bad for an example).
The panel refers to https://litestream.io/ at one point, as an example of a closed-open-source project, and you can read more about on the Litestream GitHub page.

1 hr 15 min - The art of reading the docs
Documentation. You can treat it as a dictionary or reference manual that you look up things in when you get stuck during your day-to-day work OR (and this is where things get interesting) you can immerse yourself in a subject, domain, or technology by deeply and purposefully consuming its manuals cover-to-cover to develop expertise, not just passing familiarity.
In this episode we pull in perspectives and anecdotes from beginners and veterans alike to understand the impact of RTFM deeply. Also Sweet Filepath O’ Mine?!?!
