As summer and #GopherCon approach, we thought it would be fun to throw it back to last summer’s gathering in NYC. The talks, the hallway track, the community, the memories... it was epic! 🗽 Our program for Seattle this August 3-6 is live, and we’re officially counting down the days. Grab your ticket at gophercon.com, and we’ll see you there. 💛 #ThrowbackThursday #RoadToGopherCon #SeeYouInSeattle #golang

Can a decades-old operating system inspire the future of the web? 🌐 Plan 9 from Bell Labs may be one of the most influential operating systems you've never used, but its ideas continue to shape how we think about building software. In this session, @progrium explores how Plan 9's elegant design principles can be reimagined with Go and WebAssembly. Through stories and live demos, you'll discover why its filesystem-centric approach still matters, how Go and WebAssembly make these ideas practical today, and what it could mean for the future of systems design on the web. No prior knowledge of Plan 9 or WebAssembly is required. Just bring your curiosity and an interest in thoughtfully designed software. Join us for this fascinating look at the intersection of classic systems design and modern Go. 🎟️ gophercon.com #GopherConOrBust #golang

Ever spent hours tracking down a bug caused by one missing line of code? 🔒 A forgotten Unlock() can leave even experienced Go developers chasing a deadlock for hours, days, or longer. In this session, @palkan_tula explores real-world mutex usage patterns by building a mutex linter from the ground up. Along the way, you'll gain insights into static analysis, learn how mutexes are used in production Go code, and discover practical techniques for detecting concurrency issues before they become costly bugs. Whether you're new to concurrency or have been writing Go for years, you'll leave with a deeper understanding of mutexes and the tools that can help you write safer, more reliable code. 🎟️ gophercon.com #GopherConOrBust #golang

This is one of the things that makes GopherCon so special. 💙 Outside of #GopherCon, telling someone you use Go might earn you a polite smile. At GopherCon, it starts a conversation. We're excited to welcome @imtechgirl from Brazil as one of our Diversity Scholarship recipients. Follow her on Instagram and TikTok as she shares her experience in real time. If you're joining us in Seattle, we'd love to see GopherCon through your eyes, too. Share your photos, videos, and favorite moments, and tag us. We may feature some of our favorites throughout the week! 🎟️ gophercon.com #GopherConOrBust #golang

The best part of #GopherCon isn't just what you learn. It's who you meet. 💙 Yes, you'll spend the week learning from some of the brightest minds in Go. But you'll also find yourself sharing ideas over coffee, meeting future collaborators, and discovering a community that shares your passion for building great software. Whether you're looking for your next opportunity, hoping to grow your professional network, or simply want to spend a few days with people who love #golang as much as you do, GopherCon is where those connections happen. From meetups and the Challenge Series to Meet the Go Team and countless conversations in the hallways, some of the most valuable moments happen between the sessions. We can't wait to welcome you to Seattle! 🎟️ gophercon.com #GopherConOrBust
