🚀 Today we launched the Gemini CLI Conductor Extension or as I like to call it, Planning++ It's a very different way to develop where the model works with you to build out a detailed plan, pull in extra details as needed ultimately to give the LLM guardrails with artifacts. Check it out, it's open source, different and fun. Especially with Gemini 3 Flash ⚡️⚡️⚡️ developers.googleblog.com/co…

Unbelievably saddened by the loss of my dear friend @SusanWojcicki after two years of living with cancer. She is as core to the history of Google as anyone, and it’s hard to imagine the world without her. She was an incredible person, leader and friend who had a tremendous impact on the world and I’m one of countless Googlers who is better for knowing her. We will miss her dearly. Our thoughts with her family. RIP Susan.

With profile-guided optimization or PGO, you can help the Go compiler make better optimization decisions by providing it a profile of your application at runtime. Learn how PGO works and how to use it — including on Google Cloud: cloud.google.com/blog/produc…

Kudos to whomever designed the Stranger Things poster for the Piggyback episode, subtly mirroring @Metallica's iconic Master of Puppets design. (Eddie Munson plays Master of Puppets in the episode's climactic scene.)

This week at #googleio the Go and Google Cloud Serverless teams presented an overview of how the Go compiler makes optimization decisions -- and how you can help it optimize even more using profile-guided optimization. Be sure to check it out! #golang youtu.be/FwzE5Sdhhdw?si=P1Gt…

The rise of Go is phenomenal. It is definitively a mainstream programming language. I am a long-time fan of Go... and even I is surprised by the uptake. #golang
Top 10 languages on GitHub by number of 'pull requests'. The apparent fall of JavaScript is related to the rise of TypeScript. Python represents a steady 20% of all pull requests. PHP and Ruby are trending down.

The software industry is rapidly converging on just three languages: Go, Rust, and JS. It would be smart to learn one of those really well, and have at least a working acquaintance with the other two.

👥 When you work with Go, you're never working alone. Thousands of open source developers publish packages for other developers to use. See how quickly you can find, import, and use the right one. 📺 Watch On the Go ➡️ goo.gle/3woZDI3
