**Carlisia Thompson:** Let's do this!
\[singing Happy Birthday, accompanied by guitar\]
**Erik St. Martin:** The lag is so bad!
**Brian Ketelsen:** I don't feel like we're synchronized here.
\[continuing the Happy Birthday song\]
**Brian Ketelsen:** This is the most pathetic birthday song ever... Sorry, Bill. \[laughter\]
\[finishing the Happy Birthday song\]
**Brian Ketelsen:** Alright, there you go.
**Tess Rinearson:** Wow, that was really hard.
**Erik St. Martin:** Yeah, you don't notice the lag until you try to do something...
**Brian Ketelsen:** Remind us not to sing on a podcast again... That was bad.
**Tess Rinearson:** Yeah, alright. I'll check that one off my bucket list and never return.
**Brian Ketelsen:** Put that one in the show notes, "Don't sing on podcasts together." \[laughter\]
**Erik St. Martin:** So the fun thing though is I think in post-production they can realign everybody.
**Tess Rinearson:** Wow!
**Brian Ketelsen:** I don't think it's possible to realign that mess.
**Carlisia Thompson:** We're not a bunch that can be realigned...
**Tess Rinearson:** Can they autotune it, too?
**Erik St. Martin:** \[laughs\] Oh, now I really wish I did sing, because then I could have been autotuned, and that would have been hilarious...
**Tess Rinearson:** To be clear, I was asking for myself. But yeah... \[laughter\]
**Erik St. Martin:** Yeah, so each of our channels is recorded individually I believe, so that would allow them to shift everybody to cut that part out and then shift...
**Brian Ketelsen:** ...and get the autotune out. Somebody's gonna have to autotune me.
**Erik St. Martin:** So for anybody who's listening to this, the recording of this - if that did not sound terrible, thank Jonathan Youngblood who does the post-production. \[laughter\]
**Brian Ketelsen:** Well, it's gonna sound terrible no matter what.
**Tess Rinearson:** I mean, it'll be charming, like an elementary school fingerpainting kind of thing.
**Brian Ketelsen:** I think it will.
**Erik St. Martin:** Just terrible in a beautiful way...
**Brian Ketelsen:** It comes from the heart, Tess. As long as it comes from the heart, it's all that matters.
**Tess Rinearson:** Yeah, exactly.
**Brian Ketelsen:** \[55:49\] Alright, let's talk about some interesting Go projects and news out there. So the one big thing that came out across my desk was the review dog software, which is kind of slick. It's a Go application that allows you to add vetting to your Git repositories, and it will automatically do what...
**Erik St. Martin:** Yeah, it was really cool because it adds... It's like having an automated person do code reviews and it adds comments to the line in the PR, or these things that got caught in the vet or lint. It looked like there was a way to run it locally too, to see what it was gonna do. You could pass in your ...
**Carlisia Thompson:** I love this.
**Tess Rinearson:** That sounds awesome.
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yeah, it's really cool.
**Tess Rinearson:** I wanna look into that for our project.
**Carlisia Thompson:** Same here.
**Brian Ketelsen:** So another bit of news... There is now a default Go path for Go 1.8, when Go 1.8 goes out. /go in your home directory; whether that's on Windows or a Unixy system, /go will be your default Go path if you don't set one, which means you now no longer need to explicitly specify a Go path. I don't reall...
And I'd like to that personal responsibility for that, because I sent a ping on the GitHub repository, and the next responder was Rob saying, "Okay, let's do this!"
**Carlisia Thompson:** Nice!
**Brian Ketelsen:** So I think I pushed him over the edge.
**Carlisia Thompson:** Nice, good work. I wonder what people are thinking about when they see the Twitter, so many people so excited about this. Because on one hand, I think you have people thinking "What's the big deal? It's not so hard to set your path." On the other hand, people might be thinking, "Oh my gosh, it mu...
**Erik St. Martin:** I think it's just another step, right? Every time you have to take multiple steps just to be able to try something out.
**Carlisia Thompson:** But it's not just another step, I think. For people who don't do that on a consistent basis, for them it's far... And even if they have done it in the past, it's just something so far, and they're like "Oh, where is it? How do I even save it? How do I edit it?" And just eliminating that is, "Wow!...
**Tess Rinearson:** Although I do feel like in order to really make the most of a lot of the things that make Go awesome - like Go fmt - you need to configure these things and you need to noodle around in your Bash profile or set up your editor to run these things. So I'm totally with you, Carlisia, in that I'm really ...
**Erik St. Martin:** \[01:00:07.26\] Yeah, anything we can do to make the language itself and the tooling more approachable... And it's funny, because when you're in that area you think about it as like, "What's so hard about setting a Go path, because you're so used to it?" I like to compare this to the Ruby on Rails ...
**Brian Ketelsen:** And then it fails.
**Carlisia Thompson:** And it's hard to even explain what you're doing... It's like, "How do I even explain this?" \[laughs\]
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yeah, somebody on Twitter the other day said, "Well, if you can't set an environment variable, you have no business programming", and that infuriated me.
**Erik St. Martin:** That's not fair.
**Brian Ketelsen:** Actually, I walked away from feeding the troll, but I was so mad... Because everybody has to start somewhere, and I'm sure the person on Twitter who said that started somewhere too, and it just frustrates me that we can't have nice things because elitists have their terminal issues.
