GopherCon 2019: Optimizing Go Code Without a Blindfold - Daniel Marti

Making code faster is exciting, and benchmarks in Go make that easy to do! Not really. Optimizing a program can be complex and requires careful consideration to do so properly. This session will demonstrate techniques and tools which are a must for any performance aficionado.

Good topic and presentation reduced by the execution. First, do we really need the mascot and the speakers head taking up the presentation real-estate? Doing this reduces the space available for the valuable stuff (the presentation)

Over all Daniel did a good job with the presentation, but the impact was limited by having to watch him debug his code live. He could do a dry run before the presentation and save off the files that have the correct code for each next step. By doing this, there is less code to debug live (not that this isn't interesting, but it takes away from the main topic)

All this talk about laptop overheating... Why not use a proper machine to do your benchmarks?
