**Erik St. Martin:** Dosha? Jodosha. I actually had a tab open for that.
**Brian Ketelsen:** Oh, nice.
**Erik St. Martin:** I just haven't looked at it yet.
**Brian Ketelsen:** It looks like a pretty good Delve integration for Vim. It's funny, because we were having that conversation this morning in the Go Slack channel... No, it was on Twitter last night. I get lost in all of this social media, but it was on Twitter last night. Somebody was asking... They were really frus...
I remember Ruby broke me of that. I was so spoiled by Visual Studio in the .NET world and the Visual Basic world, and moving over to Ruby I definitely felt that lack of a debugger, but by the time I got to Go, I had already been broken. My will was gone and my spirit dead, and I don't need a debugger anymore. \[laughte...
**Joe Doliner:** Yeah, I don't use debuggers at all when I write Go. I use them a lot with C++, but Go has just broken me of the habit.
**Erik St. Martin:** Yeah... Nowadays, because I don't write anything in C or C++ aside from hardware projects - I use debuggers there, and that's mainly because they're hard to test otherwise. It's running on a microcontroller next to you, it's not like you can just printf \[laughter\] So you're kind of forced to step...
**Brian Ketelsen:** Blink three times if your value is two.
**Erik St. Martin:** You know, that actually is the equivalent of just doing a print, just having LEDs and turning them on, and blinking them, that's with serial connections.
**Brian Ketelsen:** Everybody has to have a serial out, yeah.
**Erik St. Martin:** And then the developers don't disable them, and then you win. \[laughter\]
**Brian Ketelsen:** Very nice. We should move on to \#FreeSoftwareFriday because we've kind of lost track of interesting Go news and projects and moved into the esoteric craziness.
**Erik St. Martin:** For anybody who hasn't watched it yet, Francesc did a video on the state of Go, talking about a bunch of stuff in 1.8. We'll drop that in the channel and in the show notes, too. That's good stuff if you haven't seen it and you're interested in all the things that are coming in 1.8. Now we can move ...
**Brian Ketelsen:** Awesome. In the odd circumstance that you haven't heard about \#FreeSoftwareFriday yet, it's our favorite part of the show where we get to shout out to the open source projects, be they Go or not Go, that make us happy, that make our lives easier, because writing open source and maintaining a projec...
Today I'll start off with NATS from APCERA and Derek Collison. I solved a really complex project with NATS this morning that I really didn't think I was gonna be able to solve, and it just blew me away. It took me less than an hour and I spent many hours trying to find other solutions to this problem. I was just so hap...
**Erik St. Martin:** How about you, Carlisia?
**Carlisia Thompson:** \[56:03\] I'm going to give a shoutout to HashiCorp in general and Vault in specific. I'm working with Vault, and just looking around and reading what people say about it, it's amazing how well done these products are. There are so many good products that are open source and well done, but this t...
**Brian Ketelsen:** Nice. I love Vault.
**Erik St. Martin:** Yeah, Vault is amazing for managing secrets and keys, and rolling them. HashiCorp in general, with their open source stuff, not only do they build cool stuff, but it's some of the best-documented stuff I've ever seen, too.
**Brian Ketelsen:** What was the project you wrote, Erik? Is that SuperDog?
**Erik St. Martin:** I don't know who named it that, but yeah, I wrote that for one of the big data companies we worked for, because we needed to rotate encryption keys, so I wrote something over the top of Vault.
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yeah, so if you go over to github.com/xordataexchange/superdog - I named it SuperDog, because it had Crypto in it, and it always reminded me of my son's favorite cartoon when he was little, Crypto The Superdog.
**Erik St. Martin:** Now it makes a lot more sense.
**Brian Ketelsen:** See, now it makes sense. It's a wrapper around Vault that lets you do key rotation and really easily use Vault in the development environment without encryption, but it defaults to really strong encryption in production. It's an awesome tool Erik wrote for us, and that's open source.
**Erik St. Martin:** And for those that have listened to prior episodes where I talked about how I wouldn't release my own stuff, and sometimes Brian would just scoop it up and release it for me... \[laughter\] That's a prime example. I was like, "It's not ready, it's not ready! I don't know about this..." "It's on Git...
**Brian Ketelsen:** Sorry... \[laughter\]
**Erik St. Martin:** Joe, did you have a project or a maintainer, anybody you wanted to shout out to?
**Joe Doliner:** Yeah, I'd like to shout out to gRPC, which is something we use at Pachyderm, and a lot of projects in Go are using it right now. I think they're kind of becoming the unsung heroes that are marshaling around all of our APIs, but end users don't really see them much... So I'd like to give those guys a sh...
**Erik St. Martin:** I'm not sure who maintains it now... It did come out of Google, but for some reason I thought that there were some other companies involved in it now, too... I'll have to look at that. But that's another thing that Brian and I have been following since way before we probably should have been using ...
**Brian Ketelsen:** Truly, yeah.
**Erik St. Martin:** Even in an earlier project that we created where we kind of tried to write our own RPC layer, this would have been amazing. Some of the issues coming up with these nice RPC layers between languages... It's much easier if you're using Go and you're just doing RPC to another Go; it's just easy to go ...
**Brian Ketelsen:** Erik's talking about SkyNet, our first really big Go project, and the only good thing that came out of SkyNet was SkyDNS, which is the DNS system that powers Kubernetes now, so... At least that came out of it. The rest of it is long dead.
**Erik St. Martin:** In our defense, there was no Docker, there was no Kubernetes, there was no Mesos... None of that stuff existed.
\[59:59\] My \#FreeSoftwareFriday - I will neither confirm, nor deny that I needed to use this, but hypothetically, if you needed to crack a password or a hash, there's a project called Hashcat, which is really awesome for that. It can use your CPU, it can use GPUs... If you happen to have FPGAs or co-processors, they ...
**Brian Ketelsen:** Erik and I got launched into a graphics card war yesterday, cracking passwords to see who's graphics card was faster... It was fun. We probably shouldn't admit that, should we? \[laughter\] Edit that out, Adam. It didn't happen. Nothing to see here, move along...
**Erik St. Martin:** So did anybody have any other projects or people they wanted to give a shoutout to? Or we wrap up the show for today? I will take that silence as a no.
Thank you for everybody being on the show, especially thank you Joe for coming on and talking to us about Pachyderm. It's just a really awesome project, and I'll encourage anybody who has not played with it to spin up some instances, because we all love big data. Especially saying "big data". Big data in the cloud.
**Brian Ketelsen:** \[laughs\] It's a data lake. You just gotta go swim in it, man!
**Joe Doliner:** A little tidbit I found out recently about the term big data - I did an interview for this French blog called LeBigData... So that term has just been translated one-for-one into French; that's the French term for it, too. I just thought the name LeBigData was hilarious.
**Brian Ketelsen:** That's so non-France, though... They're so protective of their language, they hate English words coming into the French language... There's a society to protect the language from Anglicism. They don't want any English words in French.
**Joe Doliner:** And they must have words for big and data... I mean, I took some French, I know they do. They've got an alternative, but these hoodlums on the internet aren't respecting the society, I guess.
**Brian Ketelsen:** It's terrible...
**Erik St. Martin:** So huge thank you to all of our listeners, and especially a big shoutout to our sponsors for today, Toptal and Backtrace. Show them love, because they're showing us love. Definitely share this show with friends and colleagues that might be interested. You can subscribe going to GoTime.fm. We are @G...
**Brian Ketelsen:** Erik, there's an important announcement we need to make before we end the show... GoTime FM, its producers and its members and staff will not be responsible if you flood your house with your data lake, so please use Pachyderm carefully. \[laughter\]
**Joe Doliner:** If you flood your house with your data lake, come to our Slack users channel, we'll get you sorted out. It's happened before. This is what we do, we're professionals at this.
**Erik St. Martin:** \[unintelligible 01:03:07.21\] didn't happen. \[laughter\] I'm waiting -- this episode will release in about a week, but after that I'm really interested in all the memes and gifs that come out of that... Being rescued from the data lake.
**Brian Ketelsen:** I think you overestimate our social power.
**Erik St. Martin:** No, I'm putting it up there as a challenge now.
**Joe Doliner:** Well, that's the true measure of an episode... Go ahead, Carlisia.
**Carlisia Thompson:** I was gonna remind that we haven't said our official goodbye.
