  • Too much interlude but good content

    Been listening for a long time and love the show. They’ve recently started giving a teaser for their paid episode and it’s gotten wayyyyy too long. It was nice at first where someone would start talking and they would fade out and then fade back in to pick up after the segment but now they do this multi-minute long, monotonous tune loop with blips and pieces of conversation and it’s absolutely obnoxious. Idk if y’all read these but please, please go back to shorter interludes. I can’t stand thes... more

  • Too long

    I liked go time but fallout is too long in my opinion.

    You bring the things to a Point and then still talk the next 10 mins about the already said things.

  • Not an official Go programming language podcast

    If you want to hear people’s opinions and not bad takes about Go and hear overly critical bad takes along with Monday morning quarterbacking then this is the pod for you. Please do not listen to this and get the impression that the opinions are common in the community.

    Maybe a better title for the podcast is alt-Go: we wish Go was something else

  • Good luck !

    Nice show ! Give it a chance. If you are new - start from technical episodes, not philosophical.
