GopherCon 2021 - Day 2
summary
GopherCon talks give concrete outcomes: demos show GPT‑3/Codex generating Go unit tests, bash one‑liners and full web pages (works but needs careful prompts); go scheduler talk extracts runtime traces, shows 10ms preemption, 256-length local run queues and work‑stealing processors visualized via go debug=schedu -> Prometheus/Grafana and Linux signal traces; production numbers include half a trillion events/day at one site; other builds: 3D‑print pipeline in Go (serial gcode, stlfx models, Telegraph→Influx), Delve+DAP VS Code debugger workflows, and Zillow’s Wire‑backed server/worker archetype for tracing, retries and testable mocks.
