Author of the rpcx microservice framework, original book author, and chair of Baidu's Go CMC committee.
Autoreview is an AI‑driven skill that automatically reviews code before a PR, addressing volume, blind‑spot, and boredom problems by repeatedly running until the code is clean, using a Scope Governor, multi‑engine panels, and strict isolation to enforce quality without manual bottlenecks.
The article explains how Baidu’s open‑source evr tool leverages VXLAN VTEP reflection to monitor Edge Virtual Routers from a single side, detailing packet construction, payload encoding, raw‑socket handling, BPF filtering, ECMP coverage, and practical configuration for reliable loss, latency, and bit‑flip detection.
The author built an open‑source RAG skill called chao‑rag‑wiki that compresses 775 collected articles into a 4.8 MB vector index using TurboVec, hybrid dense‑plus‑BM25 retrieval and optional LLM reranking, then compares its zero‑compile latency and full‑recall strengths against Karpathy’s llm‑wiki approach.
The article explains how AI‑generated code often arrives as tangled, untested code, and shows how to apply classic refactoring principles—technical debt awareness, the Rule of Three, and a three‑step checklist—through the Goal Workflow /refactor and /smell skills, turning Fowler's book into an executable AI agent that diagnoses and cleans code automatically.
The seq library introduces left‑to‑right chainable lazy collections for Go, letting developers write pipelines that read like Scala, explains why Go waited for generic methods until version 1.27, showcases concrete examples, design decisions, limitations, and how to get started.
The article recounts a near‑automatic library‑development experiment that started from a PRD, split into 15 issues, executed by a Loop Engineering agent, and resulted in a fully functional Go RDMA library while exposing hidden costs, bugs, and lessons learned.
The author demonstrates Loop Engineering by feeding a PRD to Claude Code, triggering a /loop-it command, and in one hour automatically creating, implementing, reviewing, and shipping eight GitHub issues for the Kuiniu tool, while detailing the concept, history, workflow design, state management, error recovery, and practical insights.
Loop Engineering replaces manual prompting of AI coding agents with automated loops that schedule, coordinate, and verify work, detailing the five essential primitives, historical evolution, practical implementations, limitations, and a step‑by‑step guide for building a minimal, production‑ready loop.
The article examines goscapy, a pure‑Go network library that brings Scapy‑style stream‑builder APIs, automatic checksum calculation, protocol inference and zero‑copy serialization to Go, and compares it in depth with gopacket, showing code examples, performance tricks, and practical use‑cases such as ARP and TCP SYN scanning.
The article introduces Lidar, Baidu’s new open‑source TCP‑SYN based network monitoring system, explains why the classic PingMesh approach is unsuitable for large data‑center environments, and details Lidar’s design, implementation quirks across Linux and macOS, BPF filtering, source‑port rotation for ECMP coverage, and practical usage examples.
