**Erik St. Martin:** I think other than that, we have a lot of conference stuff going on right now. GopherCon is in two weeks... if you're slacking, buy your ticket. [GothamGo](http://gothamgo.com/) I think just started doing ticket sales, one of the other GopherCons just started doing ticket sales, too. [DotGo](https:...
**Brian Ketelsen:** And same for [Golang UK](https://www.golanguk.com/) - Golang UK is announcing speakers, and I'm one of those, too.
**Erik St. Martin:** It's that time of the year, conference season.
**Carlisia Thompson:** Get ready for [GopherCon Brazil](https://2017.gopherconbr.org/). The CFP is not open yet, but it's gonna happen in November; they're selling tickets...
**Brian Ketelsen:** Can you guys hear that lightning? We'd better wrap this show up before we lose electricity again... \[laughter\]
**Erik St. Martin:** So are we ready for \#FreeSoftwareFriday?
**Carlisia Thompson:** I wanna mention a couple things... One, the [\#GopherConOrBust hashtag](https://twitter.com/search?q=gopherconorbust) on Twitter has been very sad.
**Brian Ketelsen:** It has.
**Carlisia Thompson:** The years before it was awesome; two weeks to go for the conference it was buzzing. It's very sad now, so people, start using it.
**Erik St. Martin:** I think last year it was because so many people started commuting there. You know, they were driving from Canada, and Brian drove up from Florida...
**Carlisia Thompson:** That is true. There was that big CoreOS bus. They're not doing that?
**Brian Ketelsen:** That was two years ago...
**Erik St. Martin:** Yeah, so for your commute to GopherCon, all your travels and preparations for GopherCon, \#GopherConOrBust is kind of fun. And mine will start a week from Monday. That's when I travel out there.
**Brian Ketelsen:** Really? Is it that soon?
**Erik St. Martin:** It is that soon.
**Brian Ketelsen:** Omg.
**Erik St. Martin:** So by the time this is released, it will be like only a couple days until we hop on a plane. Wow, that thunder is really going, huh?
**Brian Ketelsen:** \[59:46\] Yeah, we're in trouble. So I promised that I would announce my big news today, but I have to kind of couch that a little bit. I have accepted an offer at an exciting company, but they've asked me not to announce it until roughly next week, because they're getting a full-page ad for the New...
**Erik St. Martin:** Putting your votes in. We need a Twitter poll. \[laughter\] Alright, so \#FreeSoftwareFriday. For anybody who's new to the show, every Friday -- well, we release these on Thursdays, but it started as a Free Software Friday, so we're keeping it that way. We just try to give a shoutout to a project o...
**Brian Ketelsen:** I see some, but I haven't been leading the way either, so... Because we do it on the show; it's kind of overkill.
**Erik St. Martin:** Alright, so who --
**Brian Ketelsen:** I'll start, if you want. I've got a package that I've found over the last two weeks that I absolutely love. I think it's been pretty obvious that I've moved over to Windows, I've given up my Mac completely - I don't have any Macs left; I do have a single Linux machine left in my house, but it's not ...
So I've found an app called WSLtty. It basically a bridge between Mintty - which is the nicest Windows command terminal thing - and WSL. It allows you to have what I would expect to be a decent Linux terminal prompt, but in Windows, and pointed at the Windows Subsystem for Linux. It has made me significantly happier wo...
**Carlisia Thompson:** Alright, I'll go next - I've found this actually on the Go newsletter, it's called [Goman](https://github.com/christophberger/goman). It's a tool to produce man pages based on the readme that you have on your repo, and especially for open source projects I think it's really cool. If you go to the...
**Erik St. Martin:** That's really cool.
**Carlisia Thompson:** Yeah...
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yeah...!
**Erik St. Martin:** Now, if I could just get a tool to generate Bash and Zsh completions for me automagically. I suppose you could do that if you use something like...
**Brian Ketelsen:** Ruby?
**Erik St. Martin:** Cobra? \[laughter\] So there's a lot of Go command line app tools, so you could do some static analysis...
**Brian Ketelsen:** \[laughs\] That was my dynamic language troll of the week... I'll step away from the microphone now. \[laughter\]
**Erik St. Martin:** How about you, Aaron, did you have anybody you wanna give a shoutout to this week?
**Aaron Hnatiw:** \[01:03:55.12\] Yeah, I'm gonna give a shoutout to [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/), and specifically the [Go plugin](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-go), because that is like -- I use it for everything related to Go: everything I write, everything I review, all done in there a...
**Brian Ketelsen:** Code is awesome. Did we release our [episode with Ramya](https://changelog.com/gotime/49)? We did, right?
**Erik St. Martin:** Yeah.
**Carlisia Thompson:** Yeah.
**Erik St. Martin:** Yeah, I haven't used VS Code, but I think people should use whatever they're comfortable in, whatever they're productive in. You don't have to kind of follow suit... If I hadn't been a Vim user for -- I don't even know now; it'll probably make me feel old thinking about it... I think VS Code looks ...
**Brian Ketelsen:** You know, I have absolutely no problem jumping editors constantly. I use Visual Studio Code, I use Gogland and I use Vim. The only thing that I do is I consistently use the Vim plugins for the editor and the IDE when I'm in Gogland and Visual Studio Code, but they're both great editors. Visual Studi...
**Carlisia Thompson:** Yeah. My policy is every two years I check out a new editor. A big thing with me is I have no problem being the user of a couple editors simultaneously; I'll use one for most things, but I'll use another one for things that that particular editor is really good at. There is no problem with that e...
**Erik St. Martin:** I might make that my mission after GopherCon - do a two-week or a month stint with VS Code.
**Brian Ketelsen:** I highly recommend it, especially if you use the Vim plugin, which is really good for both Gogland and VS Code. You won't be sad about your muscle memory, but you'll get some really pretty tools. The code lenses in Visual Studio Code are gorgeous. I love those.
**Aaron Hnatiw:** The debugging is pretty useful, as well. It's got [Delve](https://github.com/derekparker/delve) built-in.
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yeah, debugging is for wimps. \[laughter\] `fmt.Println()`. \[laughter\] Actually, just `println()`; I said `fmt.Println`, but if you use just `println()` in your debugging, then you don't have to remove an import when you're done debugging... So don't use `fmt.Println()`, just use `println()`, with...
**Aaron Hnatiw:** Good to know.
**Brian Ketelsen:** It's your tip of the week.
**Carlisia Thompson:** Stop trolling, Brian.
**Brian Ketelsen:** I'm not trolling. \[laughter\] A little bit... Much.
**Erik St. Martin:** \[01:06:49.17\] My \#FreeSoftwareFriday for this week is actually something that Target put out [K8GUARD](https://target.github.io/infrastructure/k8guard-the-guardian-angel-for-kuberentes). It's really interesting, and for anybody who listens to the show, it's programming Kubernetes and InfoSec for...
So it might work really well for an operations team that's supporting multiple development teams, pods and stuff... And I will drop a link to that in the channel, and it will also be in the show notes.
**Brian Ketelsen:** Drop the mic.
