**Erik St. Martin:** Alright everybody, welcome back for another episode of GoTime. Today's episode is number 45, and our sponsor for today is Toptal. |
On the show today we have myself, Erik St. Martin, Carlisia Pinto is also here - say hello, Carlisia... |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Hi, everybody. |
**Erik St. Martin:** And Brian Ketelsen... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Hello! |
**Erik St. Martin:** And we've actually managed to drag Adam Stacoviak back from behind the curtains. Say hello, Adam. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Hey! It's me. |
**Erik St. Martin:** So our guest for today actually wasn't able to make it due to a scheduling conflict, but we had some discussions this morning and decided to do an Ask Me Anything, where we posted in Slack and on Twitter for questions for the hosts and for the producers - which is why Adam got dragged down to the s... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** It's a huge document, too. |
**Erik St. Martin:** And if you're listening live right now, feel free to -- Adam's probably watching Twitter, so feel free to ask questions @GoTimeFM on Twitter, and feel free to join us on Slack in the GoTimeFM channel and ask questions there, and we'll try to keep track of any new questions that come in. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** What kind of questions? |
**Erik St. Martin:** Any kind of questions. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** What's off limits? |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Well, they can ask and we can choose not to answer. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yeah, we can choose not to answer, that's fine. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Okay. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** It's not an Answer Anything, it's an Ask Anything. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** \[laughs\] Yeah... |
**Erik St. Martin:** Don't ask anything you wouldn't ask your mother, how's that? |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Exactly. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** That doesn't limit much... |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Play nice. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Yeah, so basically... We didn't wanna put anything off-limits. Questions about Go, questions about community, questions about maybe GopherCon, questions about maybe personal lives, hobbies, what we do for jobs... Anything anybody wants to know - it's time to get to know your hosts and producers. So... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Why don't we go through the fun questions in any random order that sounds fun, and go from there? Easy-breezy... I'm port forwarding something right now though, so we can have a little more fun later. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Oh, that sounds like fun. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** So much excite! |
**Adam Stacoviak:** "I'm port forwarding right now..." |
**Erik St. Martin:** Chris Benson in the Slack channel just asked "Why didn't my artificial intelligence machine learning talk get selected for GopherCon?" \[laughter\] |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Ooooooh... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** I know the answer to that one. Oh wait, I'm gonna be quiet. Never mind... That wouldn't be nice, would it? |
**Erik St. Martin:** Actually, I think we could get into that a little bit later, because I do remember seeing a question about how talks are selected. That probably falls in line really well there, and can help answer that question. |
I'm just gonna start with the first one on the list, which actually is from a co-worker of mine... Martin Moudy says "What is the weirdest project you have seen written in Go?" |
**Brian Ketelsen:** \[laughs\] I have the best answer for this one. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Alright, let's hear it. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** That's why I was trying to port forward a minute ago... So when I moved into my new house last year (right around this time) I lost the remote to my television. And I am cheap, and lazy, and did not want to get a new television. So I was googling around for interesting things to do, and I just start... |
\[04:30\] So I hacked up a tiny Go program - it's at [github.com/bketelsen/TV](https://github.com/bketelsen/tv), and using it, you can send commands to my television to turn it on and off, turn the volume up and down and change the input sources. So from my laptop I control my television... And it really is a tiny amou... |
**Erik St. Martin:** \[laughs\] You get props for trying. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Right? |
**Erik St. Martin:** How about you, Carlisia? |
**Carlisia Thompson:** I don't recall anything odd or weird or stupid... I don't know, maybe I just don't pay attention, but I don't recall... |
**Erik St. Martin:** So I've got one... I don't know whether I would call it weird, but definitely something I didn't expect to find written in Go. It was a while back, and I think we might have even mentioned it on the show. There was a project called [Fergulator](https://github.com/scottferg/Fergulator), which was a ... |
**Adam Stacoviak:** I don't have an answer here? |
**Erik St. Martin:** Hey, yes... You're familiar with Go projects. |
