Not much has been written yet on how Go’s fuzzing system actually works, so I’ll talk a bit about that here. If you’d like to try it out, Getting started with fuzzing is a great tutorial.

Jay Conrod worked on Go 1.18’s fuzzing feature, so there’s very few people who could write a post as detailed and accurate as this. He also discussed fuzzing in detail with us on Go Time #187.

Here’s a little bonus episode before we get back to your regularly scheduled Go Time. We’re calling it the funny bits. It’s a compilation of times we cracked up making the show for y’all. If you dig it, holler at Jerod. If you don’t, email Mat Ryer.

Mat Ryer and Jerod Santo sit down to review and discuss the MOST and LEAST unpopular “unpopular opinions” since we started keeping track of such things. Also Generics.

Fuzzing is coming to the standard library. We speak to Katie Hockman and Jay Conrod who were part of the team responsible for designing and implementing it. We dig into the details, hear some best practices, where fuzzing can help your code, and learn more about how it works.
