==== 📓 Agenda📓 =====

6:30 - 7:00pm: Arrival, Food & Refreshments

7:00pm: Talks Start

🗣 Ashley Jeffs - Sometimes the Package is Dumb

I‘ve picked the dumbest package within the Benthos (https://github.com/benthosdev/benthos) codebase, it’s basically just three contexts abstracted behind a few methods. I think its reason for existing is an interesting exploration of cancellation and shutdown concepts, the context package, and determining when a package is worth using in place of good old fashioned copy/pasted code.

⚡ Martin Eskdale Moen - Not your grandmother's VPN

but a magical networking tool for developers. It effortlessly weaves through NATs with WireGuard™, making secure connections as easy as pie.

☕ Break 🥐

🗣 Ray Yang - One Thing You Might Overlook When Reading Response Body in Golang

The topic is about a pitfall to handle reading http response body and how I found the bug and resolve it. I thought share it as there might be someone like me feel a bit confuse by the definition of `io.EOF` error and hope they can save a lot of time on debugging.

\~8:30 - 9:00pm: Closing and Head to the Pub
