I know some people have been critical about that sort of thing... I personally think -- you've gotta do what you've gotta do, and if that is the time when you're able to do that personal professional development in order to sustain your own career, by all means; that is an excellent thing to do with one's time. |
\[51:57\] So stabilizing the external interfaces was really important for us and now that we've done that, the contributors have been doing amazing work - both some of the core work for interfaces such as the I²C interfaces. We were able to do some really sophisticated things with multiple different kinds of instrument... |
A lot of the work that we're gonna be doing is going to be improving the implementations of some of the core stuff we've already done, but without changing the external interfaces. [Bill Kennedy](https://twitter.com/goinggodotnet) (Ultimate Go Bill Kennedy, by the way) has been extremely helpful mentoring some of the i... |
We've been putting out a release each month consistently for the last couple of months, collecting together the new hardware changes as far as this internal refactorings. Next coming is the GPIO interfaces and then we'll be adding SPI interfaces, and UART interfaces and a couple of other standard types of device-to-dev... |
Ultimately, Gobots will make it possible to do a very modular style of development for the hardware side of these applications. Adding more support for new types of hardware that are coming out - that's very much on our roadmap, but also building up the tooling that you need to go all the way to full production. We've ... |
There's also some other really interesting projects - Resin.io for deployment; there's a few other ones... The idea being that if we build up the right tooling, we make it a lot easier for professional developers to build some type of commercial product and then not just deploy it, but also keep it maintained. There's ... |
If there's anything that we should've learned from the Mirai botnet, or that we should've learned from some of the recent debacles like CloudPets, or Hello Barbie - we need to take these systems seriously, even if they look like toys. In fact, the toys are small soldiers ('80s movie)... Watch out for the toys! They'll ... |
Denial of a service attack mounted from your toy doll collection is not something you expect, but it's coming if we don't apply professional development practices to literally every single connected device. Gobots future is, if we do it right, that we build the tooling for the whole next generation of connected devices... |
**Erik St. Martin:** \[55:59\] Yeah, there's an entire website dedicated to just finding random IoT things on the internet, that you can just browse around and find people's webcams that have default credentials... Scary times. |
**Ron Evans:** Yeah, and we have to take responsibility for that on multiple levels. One is we as developers have to use serious professional practices and help determine what those are within ourselves, or else they're gonna be applied upon us from outside by people who don't understand. That will substantially reduce... |
The other is someone needs to pay for this stuff. As a consumer, it's unreasonable to expect that you can buy a hardware product that comes with infinite lifetime online technical support and updates unless that's priced into the product to begin with. So it's kind of a two-fold... Companies need to be responsible abou... |
I haven't come up with a good term for it, but we need objects of independent utility, too. We need to give the consumer control over these things, and that typically has not been what we've seen on the web. Have you gone to any web pages lately? \[laughter\] The number of web trackers is like -- there's trackers on tr... |
**Erik St. Martin:** Yeah, it's getting crazy with that. Even just because we carry these things around on us and they emit data... Plenty of stores are doing it now because your phone is constantly sending out beacon frames and things like that, looking for wireless devices, and it's advertising its MAC address and th... |
**Ron Evans:** And if there's a benefit to you, in the sense that they know you're trying to find the diapers, and they're gonna lead you directly to them because you're in a hurry because it's late at night, and the odds are you need to get home real quick. There's a benefit to that scenario, versus the "We know you n... |
So we have to be very careful, because the perverse incentives that we've seen around the behavioral economics and the kind of opportunistic pricing models... We have to be very careful that we don't ultimately create this sort of surveillance society where all the benefit flows directly to the shareholder class, and n... |
Maybe we need licensing models where you're able to turn on or off the ability of sharing of data, so you can decide to whom and to whom not is it shared on a slightly more discreet level. I know that [Brave](https://brave.com/) (the browser) has tried this type of micropayments approach. We may need that in terms of i... |
\[01:00:09.25\] If we're putting all our emphasis into selling more stuff and not enough into reducing utilization of scarce environmental resources, for example... You know, just because one has a big benefit and the other one has no real immediate payoff - that just magnifies the kind of problems that technology has ... |
**Erik St. Martin:** I think we're about running out of time. Do you guys wanna do some \#FreeSoftwareFriday? Did I lose everybody? |
**Carlisia Thompson:** \[laughs\] Okay, let's do it. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** I was on pause. Or on mute. Yes. |
**Erik St. Martin:** So you gave up on everybody now... Before the show it's just Carlisia, now you're just like, "I'm done, I'm out." |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yeah, just muting everybody... No, I had to cough. It's allergy season here in Florida. Your family's gotta be having the same problem. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Oh, yeah... The pollen. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** It's terrible. It's like raining green pollen. |
**Erik St. Martin:** So for everybody who's new to the show, every week we like to give a shoutout to open source authors or projects that have been making our lives easier, just because often times they only hear from us when we want more stuff from them. Carlisia, do you wanna start this week off? |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Yes, I don't have a software or an app per se, but I do wanna give a shoutout to Francesc Campoy. He is the most enthusiastic gopher that I know of, and he has this [Just4Func](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_BzFbxG2za3bp5NRRRXJSw/featured) YouTube channel. This is actually what I wanna give a... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** I love his YouTube channel. Those are so awesome, I love those shows. |
**Erik St. Martin:** I agree. |
**Ron Evans:** I agree. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Alright, I'll go next. This is a little one... It's a project I fund on GitHub when I got tired of trying to figure out how to exclude my vendor directory from running Go commands. It's a tiny little project called g.. , and it's from somebody who's GitHub username is mibk - github.com/mibk-g.. It's... |
**Erik St. Martin:** Awesome. How about yours, Ron? Did you have a project you wanted to shout out to? |
**Ron Evans:** I have a lot of projects I love, but lately I've been really feeling the love for [NATS](https://nats.io/), the messaging system. They have a bunch of great open source software projects, clients and servers written in Go, on GitHub. They also have a really great community that's been adding integrations... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yeah, I will second that. Every time I turn around, there's somebody from the NATS community helping out somewhere. In fact, I think maybe it was last week or the week before we shouted out NATS on \#FreeSoftwareFriday, too. It's nice. Great community-focused company at APCERA. |
**Erik St. Martin:** \[01:03:47.03\] Mine for this week is by somebody named OJ Reeves. I'm gonna continue my trend with security tools. It's called Gobuster; it's on [github.com/OJ/gobuster](https://github.com/OJ/gobuster). It's like a replacement for Dirb or Dirbuster, basically to brute-force innumerate directories ... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** With permission. Consult your lawyer before hacking any websites, please. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Get your get-out-of-jail-free contract first. Alright, so with that, I guess this is a wrap. If anybody wants to meet and play with fun Gobot stuff, definitely go to the community day at GopherCon; there's always a big Gobot room, and Rob brings tons of stuff... I don't even wanna know how he gets ... |
**Ron Evans:** I just turn on all the drones at once, and they fly me there. |
**Erik St. Martin:** I put too many chargers in my bag, and [TSA](https://www.tsa.gov/) \[unintelligible 01:04:59.10\] |
**Ron Evans:** I have a collection of TSA notices... Actually, I was thinking about putting into each of my flight cases a small transparent envelope where I would put all the notices and then put a little sign that said, "TSA, please place notices here." \[laughter\] |
**Brian Ketelsen:** That's brilliant. Ron, you've been a big supporter of our community day at GopherCon since the first year; that's when I met you for the first time, so it's been a real pleasure knowing you all these years and we really appreciate the fun and excitement you bring to community day. I think it may be ... |
**Ron Evans:** Thanks. It's truly a labor of love. The excitement comes from the people; I'm just one of the people in the room, getting to draw off of that same energy and learn and see fun things that people do and get creative ideas... I look at it as a hardware jam session. It's really fun, and if you got to have s... |
If you wanna do hardware hacking that's not Gobot, bring it. If you just wanna hang out and play with toys, come on down. It's gonna be fantastic. |
**Erik St. Martin:** [JBD](https://twitter.com/rakyll) was hanging out there last year too, but yeah, even if you don't have hardware experience, come in. Lots of people are teaching people, and playing with stuff and collaborating. I think you did some sessions or something last time, where you were kind of walking th... |
**Ron Evans:** Yeah, we had like a self-directed thing, if you wanted to do that. Or if you just wanted to check out some hardware, like library style, lending lab style. We also had some hardware to give away to people, which we typically do... It's sort of part of my Santa Claus complex. \[laughs\] |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yeah, and I can't stress enough how beginner-friendly the whole Gobot - and Ron specifically - is. I am not a hardware person. I don't understand electronics, I don't understand hardware, and I built a complete controller for my barbecue grill using Gobot, so if I can do it, everybody can do it. |
**Ron Evans:** Which, by the way, I'm gonna show up one of these days for dinner. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** You should, because my grill is so big I can cook enough for the whole neighborhood. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Yeah, if you're ever in Tampa... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** ...just give us a call. |
**Erik St. Martin:** We'll send you home with some. |
**Ron Evans:** At least to the airport. |
