Golang Online Meetup - January 2021

Wassup GoSGreans,
2021 came in a flash and we hope you have been keeping well over the festive period. We are back with more awesome speakers and for our January meetup, we're bringing you:

"Go Worst Practices" - Oliver Powell, Senior Platform Developer @ Brankas

Evolutionary biology teaches us that the avoidance of failure is a better strategy than the imitation of success. That's why you always remember your war stories so vividly. This talk is an opinionated tour of worst practices in Go and how to avoid them.

"Tests automation, theory and practice" - Alexander Stavonin, Senior Engineer @ Motional

The talk is about how to maintain high-quality standards for your projects. We will talk about unit-testing, integration-testing, fuzzing, pipelines and many more.

About our speakers:

Oliver Powell is a senior platform developer at Brankas. In a previous life he was a full stack Clojure developer. These days he has traded functional programming and parenthesis for Go and Kubernetes. When he isn't struggling with YAML indentation, he is either running after small children, or reading about anthro-complexity. He lives in Cape Town, South Africa with his wife, son, and daughter.

Alex is a software developer, architect and process engineering expert with 18-years of professional experience. He is advocating best practices in software design, development and testing.
