In this special 300th episode, the panel discusses their favorite episodes, including deep dives on TCP/IP and networking, code ownership, Go in medicine and biology, and new features in Go's cryptography libraries. They also talk about the importance of simplicity in code, the need for diversity in the tech community, and the challenges of producing the podcast. The hosts introduce a new writers room structure and discuss potential future topics. They also touch on upgrading computers, retiring terminology, and the possibility of a roast episode. The episode wraps up with gratitude and promotion of the podcast.

In this podcast, the hosts discuss various topics related to Kafka, including its use cases, complexities, and considerations. They also explore event-driven architecture, retention time in Kafka, challenges of backlog, and opinions on Twitter and rebranding. Additionally, they provide advice on crypto, learning, and the importance of continuous learning in the software engineering industry.

Filippo Valsorda, Roland Shoemaker, and Nicola Murino continue discussing what's new in Go's cryptography libraries. They cover topics such as NIST standards, post-quantum key exchange, open source language models, implementing a new feature in OpenSSH protocol, Windows 11 test breakage, and even casual conversation about cooking and kitchen setups in different countries.

Event-driven systems present challenges but offer durability, autonomy, and flexibility. The podcast explores event-driven architecture, its problems and solutions. Topics include choreography vs orchestration, event sourcing, CQRS, and cloud-based workflow solutions. The speakers discuss autonomy and loose coupling in event-driven systems, design trade-offs, changing implementations, and the importance of organizational structure in software development.

Return guest sam boyer joins Ian & Kris to discuss the complexities of simplicity in software development, exploring the difference between simplicity and ease, the importance of understanding the problem and users, and the challenges of reducing complex problems to simplistic solutions.

Filippo Valsorda and Roland Shoemaker from the Go Team discuss new features in Go's crypto libraries, including MultiAlgorithmSigner and OpenSSH format keys. They talk about the revolutionary aspect of Go's cryptography libraries, the compatibility guarantee and its limitations, debug flags in cryptography, and their opinions on NIST elliptic curves. The podcast ends with a playful debate on the best terminal text editor and the mention of upcoming episodes and a new music album promotion.

In this spooky episode, the hosts discuss John Gregory's seven deadly sins of Go, including the importance of contextual comments, the concept of pride as a sin, building a flexible JSON schema parsing library, the use of channels for concurrency, balancing mindset and error handling, avoiding over engineering, unpopular opinions in horror films, and the opinion on Go as a language for software engineering and design.

The podcast discusses experiences at the recent GopherCon 2023, including organizing the event, keynote talks, and meetups. They also explore the use of captioning and the value of face-to-face interaction. The speakers reflect on the differences between online and in-person interactions, and highlight the inclusive spaces and community empowerment at the conference. They also discuss opinions on JavaScript and Go, and the importance of balancing telemetry and user feedback. The episode ends with a lighthearted conversation and expressions of gratitude.

Michael Quigley from NetFoundry joins Natalie to discuss Zero Trust concepts, why they are important for secure systems & how to implement them in Go.

Adrian Hesketh, creator of Templ, and Joe Davidson, maintainer on the project, join hosts Kris Brandow and Jon Calhoun to discuss Go templating. They talk about the motivation behind creating Templ, the benefits of server-side rendering, using Temple to call Go functions in templates, and fashion trends in the tech industry.
