🎤 Corin Lawson
Taking Copilot From Intern to Trusted Teammate
Summary: GitHub Copilot generates code fast but lacks taste - it doesn't know your team's conventions and forgets the basics. Learn how Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers can teach AI agents your style guide, transforming generic code into idiomatic Go. Includes live demo and lessons from real-world use.
Bio: Corin Lawson is a Software Engineer at MachShip with 20+ years experience, currently focused on Go observability and tooling. Based in Melbourne.

🎤 PJ
Voodoo black magic
Summary:
This is a talk for intermediate Go developers. You've probably seen the unsafe package here and there. If it sends shivers down your spine, you're not alone. Even minor misunderstandings can crash your application. But the super powers it provides can make it worthwhile.
