Earlier quoted context omitted.

Glad you liked it! We enjoy making them.

Could I suggest also recording an episode when you actually gear up to merge this into master?

We committed it straight to master after we finished the video. The code has been worked on quite a bit since.

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

Well, it was Brad's machine, so my vim environment wasn't set up as it is normally. Not really a fair comparison. :-)

Oh, I thought it looked a little plain. ;)

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.

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.

Glad you liked it! We enjoy making them.

Please keep them coming. Will watch every single one, multiple times! Loved hearing your thought process and confidence with what was being typed. Now when I code I pretend I'm talking to either of you. It's not weird, right?

brad has a fairly light-weight go setup for emacs. from what i can tell, he just has gofmt run on save and the go import plugin that reads his code and adds/removes import statements appropriately.

mine includes auto-complete (that is conscious of the AST) and linting/error checking. i suspect brad has jump-to-definition and the other stuff that comes with the go emacs mode, but he doesn't use it.
