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.

#22Anyone else really impressed by their development speed? I've not used Go and following someone else in an editor can be difficult, but it took me some effort to keep up: you guys never slowed down for nearly two hours!
Did you ever find out why ip.appspot.com yielded "Bad Request"?

#23This 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. :-)
What did you use to switch between emacs and vim? It seemed like a quick hot-key.

Phew! I thought Acme had ruined you and you were all about that no-syntax highlighting. What did you use to switch between emacs and vim? It seemed like a quick hot-key.

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.

#27Really interesting to watch, thanks for doing this. Anyone else really impressed by their development speed?

#28In Ireland we seem to learn a less "rounded" version of the letter H when we learn the alphabet - I assume this comes from Irish language pronunciation. It sounds much more like "hay-ch" than "aych", really emphasising that initial 'h'.
So, thinking about it, I guess 'a HTTP' probably sounds pretty weird to every other native English speaker in the world :)
Anyone else out there prefer 'a HTTP' over 'an HTTP'?
Back on topic: I really enjoyed the last two hacking sessions, it's really edifying to see the process. More please!

#29Slightly off-topic, but the use of 'an' as the indefinite article in the phrase 'an HTTP' always seems really weird to my brain.

He is. He usually does not use syntax highlighting: https://twitter.com/enneff/status/571067872291594240
