Some people may not know me.
I’m Melkey, I started programming in 2019 by watching YouTube and Twitch streamers. I never went to school for programming. I learned by streaming my coding journey.
Fast forward and I’ve been at Twitch for 3 years as a SWE in ML infrastructure

It’s all powered by a Go framework — and you can use it too.
