[Gopher Guides @GopherGuides]

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.

It's been way to long since we wrote a #golang article for our blog (https://t.co/2rmjLXI7pP). 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!

[Cory LaNou @corylanou]

Brought the family with to #gophercon. They got to learn some tinygo!

[Cory LaNou @corylanou]

Rocking the original #gophercon T-shirt for my workshops today! Can't wait to meet so many new gophers!

[Gopher Guides @GopherGuides]

Announcing "Hype"! A markdown compiler (written in #golang) and generator that validates code syntax, allows for file partials/includes, can run code and include the output in your documents, auto generate your readme from github actions, and so much more! https://t.co/HcpcbUUniF

[Cory LaNou @corylanou]

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. https://t.co/CRe2rzfOMU

[Gopher Guides @GopherGuides]

The SLOG package just released in #golang 1.21 comes with many new enterprise features, such as level logging, structured logging, customizable output and so much more! Check out this article for all the new features!

[Gopher Guides @GopherGuides]

In #golang 1.21, the slices package will be added to the standard library. It includes many useful functions for sorting, managing, and searching slices. In this article, we will cover the more commonly used functions included in the Slices package.

[Go Time ⏰ @GoTimeFM]

It's time for Unpopular Opinions! 🤘

@jboursiquot thinks we put generics in Go to shut the critics up, not because we really needed it 🔥

[Gopher Guides @GopherGuides]

Interested in learning Go (#golang)? This 3 day event will give you all the basic knowledge necessary to start working with your first Go project! You will cover proper Go idioms, how to use interfaces and properly compose structs as well as use Generics.

“They (@gopherguides) are the perfect pair to author what is destined to become "The Go Book" for Go's second phase (Go with Modules & Generics).” - @spf13

Read the full Foreword to “Go Fundamentals”

[Gopher Guides @GopherGuides]

@pelemarse @markbates @corylanou @spf13 @golangweekly @golang There is actually a sample chapter, but it takes some "time" for it to propagate out so that it shows up. Ironically, the process for book publishing is incredibly antiquated and slow.

Hopefully this will be updated soon.

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."

[Gopher Guides @GopherGuides]

Ok, here's to carving out the first quarter of 2022 for chapter re-writes to show how Go works with generics... #golang.

[Go @golang]

“Go 1.18 Beta 1 is available, with generics” 🎉 🎉
— https://t.co/UJyA9i1yab

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.

[Gopher Guides @GopherGuides]

This release is going to be amazing... and is also going to cause a LOT of course updates in our material! #golang

[Katie Hockman @katie_hockman]

Fuzzing is in its first Go release, the Go 1.18 beta! 🎉

My biggest focus right now is documentation, which is in progress at https://t.co/HiBSRD4o6L. If you run into any problems, or think of any important docs that are missing, please file an issue!
