**Erik St. Martin:** It was supposed to be a secret? |
**Carlisia Thompson:** It was supposed to be something you discover on your own, like "Oh my gosh, there's a Gopher here! All along, for three years I haven't seen it!" |
**Jessie Frazelle:** That's so cute! |
**Erik St. Martin:** It's trippy, isn't it? |
**Carlisia Thompson:** I had such a kick when I noticed it. |
**Erik St. Martin:** I don't know, I think I see Gophers all the time, so it's like as soon as I saw the logo I saw the Gopher. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** it's like going to Disneyland... "Oh, look, there's another Mickey." There's another Gopher... |
**Erik St. Martin:** See, Todd's in the GoTime FM channel and he says it's not a secret. He noticed as soon as he subscribed. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** See? There's no secret. You didn't screw it up, Erik. Good job. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** No, it's alright. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Alright, so I think we're extending everything. We should probably wrap this up though. As we've already said all of our closing stuff, I guess all that's left is goodbyes, and we'll see everybody next week. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Thanks, Jessie! |
**Jessie Frazelle:** Thank you for having me, this was cool! |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Thanks, Jessie. This was super fun! |
**Erik St. Martin:** Yeah, we'll have you back on when you get more into what you're doing at Kubernetes, and you can talk to us about it. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** No, we're not bringing you back until you have a budget. \[laughter\] |
**Jessie Frazelle:** Yeah. |
**Erik St. Martin:** You have to tell us somebody's budget. If it's not your own budget, it's gotta be somebody else's. If you make one up, we won't know the difference anyway. |
**Jessie Frazelle:** Okay. \[laughs\] |
**Erik St. Martin:** Alright everybody, we'll see you next week. |
**Jessie Frazelle:** That was fun! |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Goodbye. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Bye! |

**Erik St. Martin:** Alright, we are back for another episode of GoTime. It is episode number \#24. Today's sponsors are stackimpact and Code School. Today on the show we have myself, Erik St. Martin, we are down one Brian Ketelsen, who is a few thousand feet above us, making his way back home. Carlisia Campos is on th... |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Hi, everybody. |
**Erik St. Martin:** And our special guest today is Nate Finch. How are you doing, Nate? |
**Nate Finch:** Doing good. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Would you like to give everybody a little background about yourself? |
**Nate Finch:** Sure. I've been doing development for 16 years now, since graduating from college about four and a half years ago, right around Go 1.01, or something like that. I started looking at Go mainly as a way to not be pigeonholed as a Windows developer, because at that time I was a Windows developer, and I wan... |
**Erik St. Martin:** So you were writing production Go code before most people knew about Go. |
**Nate Finch:** Yeah. It was fun. |
