**Erik St. Martin:** Nice. How about you, Marc-Antoine? Did you have anybody you wanna give a shoutout to? Or any projects? |
**Marc-Antoine Ruel:** \[01:00:06.17\] I think you talk about it every week, but [Caddy](https://github.com/mholt/caddy) is really awesome. I wouldn't be able to live without it. The other thing is I actually started playing with Shiny from Nigeltao, and it's pretty cool. In my case, it's actually to be useable on the ... |
**Erik St. Martin:** Cool. What library is this? |
**Marc-Antoine Ruel:** [Shiny](https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/exp/shiny). It's actually on the ex repository on Golang. I'll just paste the link... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yeah, that's the experimental gui layer... |
**Marc-Antoine Ruel:** Yes. It's very experimental, but it works, and that's good enough for me. |
**Erik St. Martin:** The one I have is actually something I recently came across. Here's a pronunciation thing, and thankfully on the readme they tell you how to pronounce it. It's called [hecate](https://github.com/evanmiller/hecate) and they call it "The Hex Editor From Hell!" I can say that on air because it actuall... |
It's like a tabbed interface, a hex editor, but the cool thing is that you can use Vim commands to move around it, and most of us on the show love Vim movement keys. Basically, you can hit key combinations to switch the endianness or the way the bytes underneath your cursor are interpreted. So you can look at them as l... |
With that, I wanna thank everybody for being on the show this week, especially thank you to Marc-Antoine, and happy birthday to Brian... |
**Marc-Antoine Ruel:** Yeah, happy birthday! |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Where's the singing? I heard there was gonna be singing. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** I thought we agreed we were never gonna sing again. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** I was promised singing! |
**Erik St. Martin:** The latency was so bad! \[laughs\] We need a -- I don't even think Jonathan Youngblood can save us in the editing for that. \[laughter\] He does amazing work, but I don't think that's fixable. So huge thank you to Marc-Antoine for coming on the show, shoutout to our sponsor Toptal for helping to ma... |
**Marc-Antoine Ruel:** Thanks a lot! |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Happy birthday, Brian! Bye, everybody! |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Thank you!. |
**Marc-Antoine Ruel:** Happy birthday! |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Thanks for coming on, Marc-Antoine! |
**Marc-Antoine Ruel:** It was great! |
• Cindy Sridharan discusses her background and experience as a programmer |
• She shares her perspective on not considering herself a good programmer, but instead striving to continually improve |
• The importance of being a generalist in software engineering, with a broad view of the landscape and willingness to adapt |
• Challenges of balancing depth vs breadth in expertise, and the pressure to be an expert in multiple areas |
• Cindy's current role at a startup, working as a software engineer on image processing, API development, infrastructure, and operations |
• Her recent transition to writing about her experiences and learning process, initially for personal benefit rather than public publication |
• Transition from programming to DevOps and sharing experiences |
• Resonance with others due to alternative viewpoints and perspectives |
• Focus on solving problems rather than just using technology |
• Importance of "from the trenches" stories and user experience in tool adoption |
• Writing process and time spent crafting blog posts |
• The speaker discusses writing a blog post and how it took several weeks to write due to learning new concepts and not being able to focus solely on writing. |
• The speaker contrasts this with other posts they've written, which were completed in a few hours, citing an example of a post about function length that was written in two hours. |
• Discussing the benefits of having different opinions and perspectives in the tech community, including challenging dogma and promoting empathy. |
• The conversation turns to the importance of solving business problems in professional software engineering, rather than just adopting new technologies for their own sake. |
• Examples are shared of over-adopting bleeding-edge technology and the need to balance innovation with practical considerations. |
• Prioritizing one thing over another is a common mistake |
• The importance of being cognizant of one's priorities, even when it comes to new and exciting technologies |
• Risks associated with adopting bleeding-edge technology, such as operational burden and difficulty in reasoning about failure modes |
• Importance of observability and monitoring in system design |
• Challenges of writing about abstract concepts, such as the author's experience with small methods |
• Value of explicitness in code, particularly in languages like Go that strive to make everything clear and simple |
• Trade-offs between following best practices and creating a good user experience for other developers |
• Importance of refactoring and breaking down large functions into smaller ones |
• Difficulty in building examples that demonstrate a single concept without creating contrived scenarios |
• Blurred boundaries between logical and programmatic concepts, making it hard to define "one thing" for a small function |
• Trade-offs between maintainability, understandability, and perfection in coding |
• Importance of building something "good enough" rather than striving for perfection |
• Perfection in software development is often short-lived and can lead to a waste of time and effort |
• Making tradeoffs too soon can be painful and difficult to adjust later on |
• Being "good enough" can get you a long way, especially for projects with longevity |
• Community Outreach Working Group aims to spread the love of Go throughout communities and help people learn Go |
• Recent news in Go includes: |
• Release of Go 1.9 |
• Erik St. Martin's new job at Microsoft Azure |
• Samsara blog post on running Go on low memory devices |
• David Wong's walkthrough of Go code translation to internal Assembly language |
• Minio's proposal for a standard for data at rest encryption and their Go implementation |
• Signal's encrypted profiles for public data |
• Go Working Group news announcement |
• Free Software Friday shoutouts: |
+ Minio for S3-compatible file storage |
+ Fabian Reinartz for rewriting Prometheus storage engine |
• The Cajun Army and their volunteer efforts in Houston |
• Envoy project, its potential integration with Kubernetes and Cloud Native Computing Foundation, and similarities to Google's internal system |
• Support for Envoy project from Google engineers |
• Current database supported by Envoy (MongoDB, DynamoDB, Redis) |
• Future potential support for other protocols (MySQL wire protocol, Kafka protocol) |
• CNCF project possibilities for Envoy |
• Podcast wrapping up and thanking guests and listeners |
**Erik St. Martin:** Alright, welcome back everybody to another episode of GoTime. Today's episode is number 57. We've been gone for a couple of weeks... Our production studio was actually in Houston, but good news is that [Adam](https://twitter.com/adamstac) and family are all doing well, so we are back on. |
Today on the show, myself - [Erik St. Martin](https://twitter.com/erikstmartin). [Brian Ketelsen's](https://twitter.com/bketelsen) here... I think he's still here. Brian? |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Muted? |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Alright, maybe muted, but still, I'm here. The dog was barking. |
**Erik St. Martin:** And [Carlisia](https://twitter.com/carlisia)? |
