**Erik St. Martin:** Behind the scenes Adam comes in, but [Jerod Santo](https://twitter.com/jerodsanto) also, from Changelog. He's always behind the scenes and he's throwing in ideas. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Santo. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Santa. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Not Santa... \[laughter\] |
**Erik St. Martin:** I said Santa... |
**Adam Stacoviak:** He brings gifts, but... Anyway, Santo. Jerod Santo. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Right, he did a ton of the work - or maybe all of the work on... |
**Adam Stacoviak:** The CMS? |
**Erik St. Martin:** ...the Changelog and GoTime CMS's. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** That's one CMS. It's one CMS and one CDN. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Right, yeah. But everybody sees it as kind of two separate podcasts. Somebody this morning also mentioned the difference between the sound that comes from the live stream and the final produced episodes, and that's a huge thank you to Jonathan Youngblood. It's he who makes us sound awesome. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** He does. He does an amazing job, and without him I would be in a ball, crying, like Carlisia does after the show. I would just be... \[laughs\] |
**Carlisia Thompson:** And just to be clear, he does the editing of the show... |
**Adam Stacoviak:** That's right, yeah. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** ...which I appreciate, because I was doing the editing; it's a lot of work. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** It's a lot work... Yeah, it's a lot of work. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** I'm sorry... Let me correct what I just said. I didn't do the editing, I did the show notes. And he does the editing, which is a tremendous amount of work. And he also is doing the show notes. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** That's right. The reason why we do edit the show though is just to smooth it out... Not to journalistic it or make it NPR - it's not that; it's just to smooth it out. Because the live experience, if you listen live or you listen to the produced version that goes on the podcast feed, they sound somew... |
Now, we don't produce the live version as a produced version... It's just meant to be raw. So it's not a live production that just gets turned into a show; we allow people that listen to it live, and we welcome that, we want that, but then we take it behind the scenes and we polish it up and make it a little bit easier... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** \[01:08:02.09\] I love the live part of this show. I don't even think I would want to do it if we weren't broadcast live and if it didn't have that live feel. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Yeah. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** For me, that's huge. It's part of the Go ethos - we're inclusive, everybody's involved, and it's not people up on a tower handing down news; it's everybody in the community being part of the process, and that's what I love about it the most. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** I fully agree. The live part - that's why I like the chat after the show, because it's kind of fun having people there and hanging out, and stuff like that. I like the raw side of things for this show. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Yeah, I love the dialogue between the listeners. It doesn't feel so much like just recording some material that's just gonna get posted somewhere, it feels more like a real, true interaction with the community. So if people have time to come at 3 PM EST and jump in the channel - we love that stuff.... |
**Adam Stacoviak:** And appreciate it -- I mean, we love it and appreciate it. It wouldn't be this show if we didn't have the GoTime FM channel and those who hang out there every single week. It's awesome. |
**Erik St. Martin:** And then the other person would be [Breakmaster Cylinder](https://twitter.com/BrkmstrCylinder) who does our intro music. |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Breakmaster Cylinder... Yeah, Breakmaster is very fun to work with, very awesome to work with, and is relentless... And I say that with capital letters, underlined, bolded - RELENTLESS with delivering the best stuff. What I mean by that is attention to detail; he wants us to be happy... Like, "Did i... |
**Erik St. Martin:** So I think that we are overtime... |
**Adam Stacoviak:** Twelve minutes over. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Yeah, and I know that there were some other questions, and we will probably try to save these and talk about them later. I know we kind of deferred some GopherCon stuff... One thing I do wanna say while we're giving shoutouts is that although Brian and I are the faces of GopherCon, just like with t... |
I think Brian and I probably need to do a post just kind of shouting out to all the people who make it happen, because it's not just us; there are a number of people behind the scenes with that as well. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yeah, and the biggest one I wanna shoutout this year, prematurely of our blog post or whatever we do is Sarah Adams, for helping us take on the scholarship applications and awarding process; that was a tremendous amount of help that she and the group of people that she brought together gave us. We r... |
**Adam Stacoviak:** That's awesome. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** \[01:11:07.03\] They're not done yet, so if you haven't gotten a notification that you got a scholarship, don't freak out; there's still plenty of time left. But they did start announcing yesterday or the day before, and it's so much fun watching the excited tweets of people who are going to go to G... |
**Erik St. Martin:** Alright, so with that and our 12 minutes over, let's close this thing out. Thank you to everybody for being on the show and sharing your own personal thoughts, and huge thank you to Adam for actually coming out from behind the curtain. We've tried so long to get him to come out and talk on the show... |

• Splice's technical stack includes desktop clients, mobile apps, and web presence, all built with Go |
• The company handles large amounts of data (over 9 terabytes per day) and requires concurrency, which led to the choice of Go as the primary language |

• Comparing Go to other languages (e.g. Ruby) in terms of syntax stability |
• Hiring philosophy: prioritizing problem-solving skills and willingness to learn Go over prior experience with the language |
• The interview process at Aimonetti's company involves a coding test in frontend and backend, with the goal of discussing how candidates approach problems rather than grading their ability in Go. |
• The test is designed to assess problem-solving skills and willingness to learn, not expertise in Go. |
• Go is used for QA automation due to its fast compile language and good tooling, making it easier for non-technical team members to write code. |
• Aimonetti believes that Go is an accessible language for beginners and can be a good introduction to programming. |
• The community needs to focus on making Go more welcoming and inclusive for new users, rather than emphasizing its features or technical aspects. |
• Concurrency is not the only important aspect of Go, and other features such as simplicity and ease of use should also be highlighted. |
• Discussion of Go's concurrency features being overemphasized |
• Simplicity of the Go language for beginners |
