Justifying the Use of Panic in Go Programming
The speaker justifies using panic in Go programming by explaining that they check if a value is nil and then panic with a more specific error message. They mention that they handle the panic in the if statement because it's going to panic anyway.

However, they believe that regular functions should not cause panic during the program's execution.
