    Shay and Jonathan are a lot of fun to listen to. I often leave the podcast running in the background while I’m out running errands.

    The format is easy to digest, and I love how careful the hosts and guests are about not drifting into long tangents or straying from the main topics. I also don’t always have time to dig through the hottest Go issues on GitHub, so I use the podcast as a way to catch up.

    Another highlight is how often it features recent blog posts from the Go community, many of whi... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Go is epic at Epic! Chat with Creed Haymond about Go in gaming
Q: What were the concrete results of migrating from Java Spring to Go?
Across benchmarks, a Go-based architecture achieved around 48,000 requests per second versus roughly 4,000 for the Java/Spring setup, with similar production load and fewer resources, which helped drive leadership buy-in and formal proposals to adopt Go more broadly.
Go is epic at Epic! Chat with Creed Haymond about Go in gaming
Q: Tell me about Go and Epic. All the new games are written in Go now, right?
Go is used in several Epic teams, particularly in Epic Online Services, where Go has been adopted to rewrite and port services from Java Spring due to performance gains, simpler tooling, and the ability to handle high load with lower resource usage.

Q: Is this just a hobby for you or is this part of your day job?
No, this is completely disconnected from my day job. I mean, at my day job, I use all of those tools.
Your ID is absolutely unique. Just like everyone else's. — Plus Jakub Ciolek talks fuzzing and bug bounties
Q: Can you give us a little more technical detail about what types of fuzzing do you use, and how do you even set it up?
I mostly use the Go standard library fuzzer with a caveat, namely, I like to tweak it a bit. I might change it a bit, make it do a bit different things.
