**Erik St. Martin:** Yeah, I don't do that. It's KubeControl or Kubectl. I've never called it KubeCuttle, but people call it that all the time. |
**Peter Bourgon:** I like Kubectl, too. But I like KubeCuttle because it's like a Cthulhu angle to it, which is generally how I feel when I'm programming. |
**Erik St. Martin:** So does that work for systemd too, it's systemcuttle, and EtcdCuttle? |
**Peter Bourgon:** Yeah, exactly. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Does it make you feel better that you're trying to diagnose something, "I'm just gonna cuttle it?" \[laughs\] |
**Peter Bourgon:** Well, like maps, it feels coherent to me. When I cuttle, I think like the squid, like Cthulhu coming to devour the world. And typically, when I'm debugging something, I feel like my mind is being devoured by all the bad decisions I've made that lead me up to that point. So it lines up, it's what I'm ... |
**Erik St. Martin:** \[laughs\] Oh... Did anybody have any other interesting projects or news they wanted to go over before we wrap the show up? |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Do we have time? |
**Erik St. Martin:** Yeah, I mean... I don't have anywhere to be. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** I wanna give a shout out to GothamGo and everybody that's in New York City this weekend. I hope everybody has a great time. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Yes... I wish I could be there. I'm traveling too much, though. Are you going, Scott or Peter? |
**Scott Mansfield:** No. I've been to way too many conferences recently. I need to actually get some work done. |
**Peter Bourgon:** Same. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Same here. |
**Erik St. Martin:** That's basically where I'm at. I just got back from a conference. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Apparently, I have a few things to go through, but somebody cut me off and there is no time. There is the Go Font - the Go Team came up with this new font that's meant for Go code. It's on the blog, there's a blog post about it, and it shows how the font looks like. It seems okay to me. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Oh, interesting. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Yeah. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Yeah, I hadn't seen this. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** It seems a bit... When I look at it, it feels to me antiquated, but... |
**Erik St. Martin:** It's hard though, because I've never been a font zealot. There's people who are really big into fonts, and they can look at this font and be like, "Oh, that's this style", when I've just never... It's either easy on the eyes or it's not. That's as far as my font knowledge goes. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** What did you think, Peter and Scott? I'm curious. |
**Peter Bourgon:** Scott, do you wanna go first? |
**Scott Mansfield:** Sure. I didn't really spend a whole lot of time looking at it. I mean, it's like trying to get somebody to change their religion, practically; if you want me to change the font on my editor, you'd better have a good reason. Or we can go to war. But it's the same idea for me; I don't have any reason... |
**Carlisia Thompson:** \[01:12:07.23\] How about you, Peter? |
**Peter Bourgon:** I guess I would classify myself as an amateur font person. I know about serifs and kerning and x-heights and all that stuff, and I actually ran the font by one of my semi-professional typeface nerds, and unfortunately there's a lot wrong with it. The kerning is pretty bad, the differentiation in the ... |
**Erik St. Martin:** I'd love to see somebody explain that, because that's the hard thing... Visually to me it's either appealing or it's not, and I'd love to see why, and actually get a breakdown. Our nerd brains work that way - "Okay, this is bad, but why?" |
**Peter Bourgon:** Yeah, maybe offline we can look into that. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Yeah, and maybe it's good for some people and bad for others. It's a matter of taste. Somebody had the taste to come up with it, and I saw a lot of people resonating with it and liking it. I'm a font illiterate, I don't know type, so when I look at it I might get reactions that don't do much for ... |
**Erik St. Martin:** It's hard for me, because if I change my font to anything else, I feel like I might as well just writing in a different language... Like, "What are these weird characters?" \[laughs\] It's hard to get your eyes to adjust when you stare at code so much if it's even slightly different. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Yeah, it has a great impact when you change anything. That's why it's so horrible when you interview and you have to code on somebody else's computer, or a no-line editor... I totally get lost. It's like I don't even know what's happening. It's not my editor, I can't function. |
**Erik St. Martin:** And it doesn't have to be very far off too, to feel that out of your element; one hotkey you're expecting doesn't work and you're like, "I'm ruined. I can't code." \[laughter\] |
**Carlisia Thompson:** We're very fragile creatures. \[laughter\] |
**Erik St. Martin:** For all the adoption of new technology that we like, we're still very stuck in our ways. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** But I think that has a lot to do with it. There's so much change around us; we need to have a core that's fixed. |
**Erik St. Martin:** That's our safety blanket. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Change everything, but don't change my environment, don't change my editor. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Yeah, that's true. I mean, I'm using the same editor I've been using for (I don't even know) 10-15 years, something like that. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Wow. |
**Erik St. Martin:** I just can't... I can't cut the cord. I see new editors and I'm like, "Well, that looks cool", and I just can't cut the cord. I feel like, "I gotta get work done, I can't afford to try to learn a new editor." |
So do we have anything else, or we wanna move into \#FreeSoftwareFriday? |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Peter, do you have any interesting projects or news to mention? |
**Peter Bourgon:** I don't have any projects, but I kind of wanna exploit your audience for this thing that's been bouncing around in my head a little bit lately. Can I do that, or is that totally not appropriate? |
**Erik St. Martin:** Yeah! |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Please. |
**Peter Bourgon:** We all know Prometheus, right? |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Oh yeah! |
**Erik St. Martin:** Yes! |
**Peter Bourgon:** ...this instrumentation and monitoring service. Among its many benefits, I think one of the greatest things for me is that it's so operationally simple. You just run the binary, it's great for jobs, there's no cluster, there's no distributed file system... It just kind of does what it says on the tin... |
\[01:15:52.09\] But if you ever tried to operate an Elasticsearch cluster, you know it's not easy. In fact, it's notoriously difficult. So I'm wondering what a Prometheus for logs would look like - architecturally, operationally - and if maybe there's already a product out there that I just don't know about... I mean, ... |
