@FunSaized Agreed, and admittedly much less productive than an alternative such as Python. Use the least powerful tool for the job is what I have grudgingly learned
Just completed take home API assignment in Golang and Python for fun, tldr: Golang takes longer to write but runs faster
Time to write first rev 3:1 Python:Golang
Time to write first rev + fix bugs 2:1 Python(had more bugs):Golang
Golang ran 10x faster
Golang was 1.5x more loc
@jorisroovers Fair enough, maybe just start with a single YouTube video? For starters my vote is share what you did automating your blinds. I have been looking for a good solution for that for YEARS and haven't found one to my liking.

One of my favorite things about these books is all the different people who were interviewed or directly contributed to author them. Varied perspectives really adds value

@ibuildthecloud To this end, an ideal conference talk would be 10 mins on a topic and then 30 min to discuss in round tables in a topic, then you could have the hallway discussions in a room and more people could take part.
@ibuildthecloud Thanks for sharing, I have had similar thoughts. Conference talks tend to be beginner level to appeal to a broader audience but it makes them hard to get value from. It can be so much more valuable to go deeper with a few experts.
