Practical Go Development with AI Agents

Most teams are using AI as glorified autocomplete. We’re going to teach you how to build entire systems without the "hallucination-induced" headache. In this 8-hour deep dive, you will build a web service in Go using an AI agent that actually follows solid development guidelines. We’ll cover everything from planning to context engineering to using skills & MCPs more.

Duration: 2 Sessions (4 Hours Each)

Prerequisites: Proficiency in Go; familiar with basic AI agents.
