People building todo app demos and then this Gigachad dropped Hadoop HDFS demo. Respect.

i never watch full video of yours they are huge, i don't have long attention span. but i do like every video of yours because there aren't much go devs who create go content and i really like that you don't care about views and make quality content. kudos to you man

[@anthonygg_]

Thanks man!

Don't change things around. Think about what you're writing ahead of time, okay? It's really hard to read.

1:43:00 this should be "if errors.Is(err, net.ErrClosed) {...}" Also `path.Join` is better for cross-platform path concatenation

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if it's distributed, are there any extra hardware requirements for this if you want to follow the tutorial?
