[21.84 --> 27.12] It's Go Time, a weekly podcast where we discuss interesting topics around the Go programming language,
[27.38 --> 29.08] the community, and everything in between.
[29.08 --> 33.58] If you currently write Go or aspire to, this is the show for you.
[43.84 --> 47.24] All right, everybody, welcome back to another episode of Go Time.
[47.40 --> 50.06] Today's episode is number 53.
[50.94 --> 54.44] So on the show today, we have myself, Eric St. Martin.
[55.12 --> 57.02] Carlicia Pinto is also on the show.
[57.52 --> 58.14] Hi, everybody.
[58.14 --> 58.24] Hi, everybody.
[58.52 --> 59.94] And Brian Kettleson.
[60.44 --> 60.86] Hello.
[61.72 --> 67.70] And it seems like something big just happened a couple weeks ago that we should spend this
[67.70 --> 68.56] episode talking on.
[69.02 --> 69.62] I know what it is.
[70.06 --> 71.12] I dyed my hair purple.
[71.88 --> 75.18] Do you think we could fit a whole hour to talk about that?
[75.32 --> 77.70] I think we could talk about that for at least three or four.
[78.26 --> 80.24] I think we could talk about it for quite a while.
[80.24 --> 80.28] Wow.
[80.60 --> 85.06] It's amazing just how much feedback I've gotten on it from random strangers.
[85.22 --> 86.22] High fives in airports.
[86.46 --> 86.82] I'm serious.
[86.92 --> 87.40] It's crazy.
[89.20 --> 93.22] Most of them are thinking that guy is too old to have purple hair, so let's high five
[93.22 --> 94.14] him and make him feel better.
[94.22 --> 94.82] But hey, whatever.
[95.96 --> 98.08] Are you getting selfie pictures too?
[98.84 --> 99.94] Yes, actually.
[100.36 --> 103.88] In fact, it happened at GopherCon, which is I know what you were really meaning to talk
[103.88 --> 105.64] about the thing that happened a couple weeks ago.
[105.64 --> 107.70] So, but I suppose we could talk about that.
[108.30 --> 113.22] We were outside next to the bear and some kid walks up with purple hair and he goes,
[113.66 --> 116.38] is it okay if my mom takes a picture with you and me together?
[116.54 --> 117.48] I was like, heck yeah.
[119.88 --> 121.22] I love it, by the way.
[121.82 --> 122.84] I think it's fun.
[123.56 --> 124.38] I think so too.
[125.38 --> 131.70] So, um, for anybody who's not aware, um, back, uh, as we're recording this today on the
[131.70 --> 133.22] 3rd of August.
[133.22 --> 140.06] So this is about two weeks ago, um, GopherCon occurred, which is a very, very large, um,
[140.76 --> 143.74] conference for the Go programming language, in case you're not already familiar.
[143.96 --> 146.82] That happens in July, uh, every year.
[147.14 --> 151.64] And, uh, we spent three days there, four if you conclude workshop days.
[152.16 --> 157.18] So, uh, anybody want to talk about kind of like overall thoughts and just kind of feelings
[157.18 --> 158.64] walking away, excitement?
[158.64 --> 165.34] Man, we need to be more precise, like, cause I don't know where to begin.
[166.06 --> 166.50] Yeah.
[166.50 --> 168.04] The energy level was insane.
[168.04 --> 173.56] I mean, it was just constant high energy and everybody's just, everybody came up and
[173.56 --> 178.24] told me specifically that, you know, they just felt like the energy this year was higher
[178.24 --> 179.32] than any other year.
[179.32 --> 183.22] And it just felt like such a fun happening, happy place to be.
[183.90 --> 188.82] I can't gauge it anymore because it's my third one.
[188.98 --> 192.30] And every year I go, I, I meet more people.
[192.64 --> 196.88] So every year is more comfortable and I don't know, okay, is it better because I know more
[196.88 --> 200.94] people, which I, I like, or is it better because the conference is better?
[200.94 --> 204.06] But I think this year it was patently both.
[204.24 --> 206.70] The conference was at a higher level.
[207.36 --> 210.00] Uh, the band was amazing.
[210.82 --> 218.60] Uh, so a bunch of, uh, go developers who are also musician and singers got together and
[218.60 --> 222.64] rehearsed and played at the pot at the opening party.
[222.64 --> 225.60] And I felt like I was on drugs.
[226.14 --> 227.60] I felt so happy.
[228.44 --> 229.20] It's Denver.
[229.40 --> 230.94] Are you sure you weren't on drugs?
[231.72 --> 233.14] Yeah, I don't think I was.
[233.18 --> 234.22] I was just drinking.
[234.74 --> 235.38] Pretty sure.
[235.66 --> 238.78] But I don't know because it's Denver, but I felt like it.
[239.08 --> 246.18] And it just, it made me feel so happy looking at other goal developers who were also happy
[246.18 --> 249.34] and dancing and having the greatest time.
[249.34 --> 256.54] So thank you so much for everybody who played in that band and people who had the idea to
[256.54 --> 259.88] put it together and approved the whole thing because it was awesome.
[260.48 --> 263.08] Yeah, there were so many great people doing that.
[263.44 --> 269.24] Um, so if you weren't at go for con or you skipped the welcome party, what Carlicia is talking
[269.24 --> 276.12] about is, um, at the welcome party at the punch bowl social, uh, we had like a full, like
[276.12 --> 279.76] fair level stage with lighting and stuff set up.
[280.02 --> 285.00] And there was a local band there that, uh, kind of filled the air with music.
[285.32 --> 291.32] But, um, later, um, a group of community members actually got up and sang and played instruments.
[291.32 --> 295.76] And I wonder if I can name everybody off without missing anybody.
[296.32 --> 297.36] It's going to be tough.
