I recently got a chance to talk about upi.linkduring Techlash at Barcamp Bangalore. I got to tell people about having started this small project. Here is the link to my presentation: Presentation A small summary of upi.link Introducing [upi.link](https://upi.link), which is is a Payment Service Provider (PSP) neutral UPI Request Link generator built upon the UPI Deeplinking Spec, enabling SMEs and individual users to collect payments directly by sharing links on chat apps or embedding on their own websites, without having to rely on building their own mobile apps and calling intents, making manual UPI requests on PSP apps, tying up with service aggregators that charge fees, or even purchasing licenses to APIs when they are just getting started.

Go recently introduced a heavily requested feature that allows programmers to set socket options before accepting and creating connections. You can find a mention of this in Go 1.11 Release Notes. Although, not many have written on this and implementing this is a bit confusing due to a change in the way one has to implement this. So I decided to share this with others who might be interested in using this feature.
