[31.12 --> 37.54] subscribe at the changelog.com slash weekly you're listening to episode 117 where jared
[37.54 --> 43.74] santon and i talk to jeremy signs about go martini the go ecosystem and even a little bit of node as
[43.74 --> 49.44] well today's show is sponsored by digital ocean new relic and top towel we'll tell you a bit more
[49.44 --> 55.26] about new relic and top towel later in the show so stay tuned but our friends at digital ocean they're
[55.26 --> 60.44] a simple cloud hosting provider dedicated to offering the most intuitive ways to spin up a
[60.44 --> 66.28] cloud server you can spin up a cloud server in 55 seconds with full root access and it just doesn't
[66.28 --> 71.98] get any easier than that pricing plans start out affordably at five bucks a month for half a gig of
[71.98 --> 79.02] ram 20 gigs of ssd ssd drive space one cpu one terabyte of transfer and if you only need a server
[79.02 --> 84.02] for a few days or to test an app you can even rent that server basically by the hour so it's
[84.02 --> 93.08] super inexpensive just 0.007 cents an hour that's like it's hard to even say but it's less than a
[93.08 --> 100.58] penny per hour it's 0.7 of a cent so super affordable but we have an awesome promo code for you to use

[108.04 --> 114.66] to get started and now on to the show we're joined today by jeremy signs also known as code gangsta we
[114.66 --> 120.08] had a quick laugh there for a bit but uh he's known as code gangsta on twitter and github and i guess
[120.08 --> 125.08] probably everywhere else right jeremy that's right uh pretty much everywhere else except skype my skype
[125.08 --> 132.30] name has not changed yet as you guys see yeah he's here to talk to uh to me and the managing editor of
[132.30 --> 139.00] the changelog jared santo about the go programming language his fun with it what he's been doing uh
[139.00 --> 144.68] specifically his web framework for go called martini and a bunch of other fun stuff so jeremy
[144.68 --> 151.68] welcome to the show man oh thanks i'm really glad to be on here so i i know that uh you've been a fan
[151.68 --> 157.04] of the changelog right i do you tweeted it to us a couple maybe a week back and and uh we wanted to

[160.36 --> 167.64] been catching up on episodes um the first one i watched i'm not a long time fan but i uh i started
[167.64 --> 173.40] watching uh katrina katrina owens podcast and i started catching up on all the other ones since
[173.40 --> 178.90] then and um yeah i think it's a great podcast i i personally love the idea of podcasts i try to
[178.90 --> 185.22] listen to as many as as possible and uh yeah so i'm super glad to be on here i'm glad i was able to
[185.22 --> 192.76] just like uh totally get in your face and be like put me on the show yeah that's cool but jared was on
[192.76 --> 196.70] uh the katrina show as well we had fun on that one didn't we jared yeah that show actually probably
[196.70 --> 203.54] has a lot of similar similarities to this one between the ruby and go influence yeah and uh you've been
[203.54 --> 212.28] uh doing different uh what do they call it exercises in uh exorcism oh me oh yeah yeah i don't know i guess
[212.28 --> 218.74] exercises is is the fair term exorcism.io was is katrina's project yeah and yeah i've been having
[218.74 --> 225.32] a lot of fun uh getting my code reviewed up in there and nitpicked as she likes to call it and uh
[225.32 --> 231.96] that's right yes learn a lot you learn a lot yes well jim but where do we where do we begin for you
[231.96 --> 238.74] i mean i know that gangsta oh man let's hear it like what code gangsta so the cat's getting out of
[238.74 --> 243.20] the bag now we'll get it out of the way here because yeah so this goes all the yeah this goes
[243.20 --> 247.98] and you can find out more about it on my blog but this goes all the way back to me starting in the
[247.98 --> 256.34] industry um i actually started in the flash and flex world doing front-end development um and the way i
[256.34 --> 263.60] got into it was i was graduating high school and i didn't really know what to do with my life so i i
[263.60 --> 268.42] ended up going to this conference about programming that i didn't really know too much about and to
[268.42 --> 273.12] break the ice and to kind of meet people there i entered into this video contest and i was like do
[273.12 --> 278.90] you know what i have a background in music i have a background in audio i'm gonna make a technical rap
[278.90 --> 287.00] song and i made this uh rap song called flex gangsta and that was my uh that was that was my name for a
[287.00 --> 294.00] while i i did a couple rap songs um after that and i don't really talk about it too much anymore
[294.00 --> 299.76] but i still have code gangsta floating around and it's it's kind of fun to to see people every once
[299.76 --> 305.36] in a while i'd be like oh my gosh you're you're code gang or you're flex gangsta or you're code gangsta
[305.36 --> 310.88] and it's funny seeing certain implementations of the song like some people have it uh some people
[310.88 --> 316.82] have one of the songs which is uh titled who broke the build uh it's tied in with their jenkins server
[316.82 --> 321.12] so if somebody actually breaks the build they like send the video or send the song to them via email
[321.12 --> 326.62] or it plays in the office so so these tracks are out there to be to be heard right now on the web
[326.62 --> 332.34] they're on youtube if you search flex gangsta you would find them on youtube nice so then you
[332.34 --> 336.88] switch to code gangsta because you just figured you're going to get more abstract and just genericize
[336.88 --> 342.76] your name or something oh yeah yeah i left the flash world um oh quite a while ago and so it's not
[342.76 --> 350.86] as relevant anymore uh flexgangsta.com did you know there's a.com i i think that is my flexgangsta.com
[350.86 --> 356.06] there you go updated in a very long time and you got who broke the build on there that's awesome we'll
[356.06 --> 360.38] link out that in the show notes but you can go to flexgangsta.com right now if you want to but we'll
[360.38 --> 364.78] in the show notes we'll have some some links out to it yeah if you find me at a conference and buy
[364.78 --> 371.26] me a drink i might i might do some raps for you fair warning wow have you ever seen uh chris anderson's
[371.26 --> 378.78] uh couch db song it's probably not quite as epic as your your uh your rap you know what i have not
[378.78 --> 386.44] on the channel like a while a while ago we we met him at uh him and uh yon leonard we met them at uh
[386.44 --> 394.14] south by and uh we had uh chris anderson right there they were there obviously for south by and
[394.14 --> 401.02] and he was just like he's a crazy guy anyways and he was just riffing and uh it's like bump bump couch db
[401.02 --> 405.48] it's just like a little thing i'll have to point back to the episode so y'all can listen to it but
[405.48 --> 411.00] it's pretty funny oh man it must be a thing with coders we like to we like to rap that's right it's
[411.00 --> 419.92] the it's the way we communicate so code gangsta so who would have known who would have thunk you know
[419.92 --> 428.32] so jeremy i think the first time i i i saw your name i saw the code gangsta handle um was on your blog
