Hacking with Andrew and Brad: an HTTP/2 client in Go [video] (opens in new tab)

Amazing! Just the presentation style alone, pair programming, talking to the camera and explaining their thought process, dual computers. Wow, this is pretty slick! It is like having a mentor right there.

This is wonderful, and as a side effect clearly shows that emacs is much better than vim.

Slightly off-topic, but the use of 'an' as the indefinite article in the phrase 'an HTTP' always seems really weird to my brain.

In Ireland we seem to learn a less "rounded" version of the letter H when we learn the alphabet - I assume this comes from Irish language pronunciation. It sounds much more like "hay-ch" than "aych", really emphasising that initial 'h'.

So, thinking about it, I guess 'a HTTP' probably sounds pretty weird to every other native English speaker in the world :)

Anyone else out there prefer 'a HTTP' over 'an HTTP'?

Back on topic: I really enjoyed the last two hacking sessions, it's really edifying to see the process. More please!

Really interesting to watch, thanks for doing this.

Anyone else really impressed by their development speed? I've not used Go and following someone else in an editor can be difficult, but it took me some effort to keep up: you guys never slowed down for nearly two hours!

Did you ever find out why ip.appspot.com yielded "Bad Request"?

These are great. It's very valuable to see how you guys approach problems in Go, given that you're among the two most experienced users. Really hope you guys keep doing them.

I commented something similar on the first installment of this, but again, in general, regardless of language or content, it's always nice to watch/listen to people pair up on something and compare it to how I work (either alone or with someone else).

Loving this video so far - showed it to my wife and described it to her as "check out this video... two dudes sitting on a couch programming, but they are really smart dudes tackling tough problems so it's fascinating", needless to say, she was amused.

This reminds me of Peepcode's play by play, but they're building real things.

Go is such an elegant and compact language.

Would love to see this being done in other languages!

Go really simple and elegant language! Good video.

This was awesome. Do more please.

This was fun to watch. Thanks, fyi video card is full at 1:42
