**Brian Ketelsen:** It was. It was gonna be a short little podcast... \[laughter\] That's okay. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** It's perfect the way it is, I think. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Now we're at an hour and I don't even think we keep that... \[laughs\] With that, thanks everybody, and especially thank you Cindy for coming on and talking with us; I wish we had more time, but we've gotta stop the show somewhere. Huge thank you to all of the listeners. Definitely share the show w... |

**Erik St. Martin:** Alright everybody, welcome back for another episode of GoTime. It's episode number 42, and today's sponsors are Backtrace and DataDog. |
On the show today, your hosts are myself, Erik St. Martin, Carlisia Pinto is also on the show - say hello, Carlisia... |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Hi, everybody. |
**Erik St. Martin:** And also Johnny Boursiquot is here. Say hello, Johnny. |
**Johnny Boursiquot:** Hey there, happy to be back. |
**Erik St. Martin:** And our special guest for today is Kavya Joshi. We should probably start with an intro... I know you've done a couple of talks and stuff, and you're gonna be speaking at GopherCon, but we'd love to hear it from you - who you are, the things you're working on... |
**Kavya Joshi:** Cool. So I currently work at a startup in San Francisco called Samsara. We're an Internet of Things startup. We do hardware, software, firmware, and I'm primarily a backend or a systems developer, and I do a little bit of infrastructure as well. |
I feel like as of recently I kind of have a crush on firmware too, so I've been trying to do a little more of that. Apart from my day job, I speak at technical conferences, I've given a couple talks on Go, or Go-related, at least. I've given a talk on Python, on a Python library. |
I'll be speaking at GopherCon this year, which I'm super excited about... And I write a little. I just published an article today. In fact, it's my first technical blog post, believe it or not... So I do all of that. |
**Erik St. Martin:** [One of the talks](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5erqWdlhQLA) that you gave - we'll start there - was [StrangeLoop](https://www.thestrangeloop.com/), I think, right? |
**Kavya Joshi:** Yup. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Where you did the talk about the implementation of the race detector. That was actually really cool. Did you come up with the idea for that, or just like digging into the internals, and you're like "Hey, I know all about the internals of this, I should go talk about it"? \[laughter\] |
