**Carlisia Thompson:** I love the insight that Carolyn had about being a person that is attracted to a shiny new thing, versus being a person who actually took the technology and applied it to something that had use. When I started my journey into Go, I was that person who was attracted to the shiny new things... \[lau... |
So having history to show that "At least I have looked into this and it appeals to me" is very useful, but of course, if you have something solid to show, versus "I haven't really done anything at work, I just wanna do this language and I have done a couple things here and there", it makes it a lot easier. But don't di... |
**Carolyn Van Slyck:** Yeah, not everyone is fortunate -- so, I have no excuse to use Go other than Dep right now... But another thing I'm trying to get experience with is Kubernetes, which is kind of in the Go cloudy world... And with no real things to do, I decided to set up my home network Kubernetes, and then figur... |
\[32:08\] For example, I just got a new NAS, and it has Plex on it and it lets you stream movies to your TV... So as a present for my husband, I've been converting all of our Blu-rays and DVDs onto it, because getting up from the couch to watch a movie is, you know, a real problem in our household. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Oh, it's terrible. |
**Carolyn Van Slyck:** Yeah, it's just brutal. The number of times we've streamed a movie that we owned just because we didn't wanna get up is maybe a little embarrassing. So here's a great way -- is it a terribly interesting thing to talk about? I'm not quite sure. It's not like a big data scale type distributed probl... |
So sometimes there's things you can do that scratch your own itch, that give you that experience if you don't have something terribly legitimate and important to do at work with whatever it is you wanna learn. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Those NUCs are awesome, by the way. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Absolutely. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** I have one, and it's just the best little dev machine ever. |
**Carolyn Van Slyck:** Oh, they're so cute. I admit that I have five of them. \[laughs\] |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Absolutely. And be proud of it, too. |
**Carolyn Van Slyck:** Yeah, I couldn't help myself, because I wanted to build out an HA cluster. I don't know... Because it's very important that my movie ripping is always available. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Now, have you started working on the serious problem of how to make Kubernetes get you a drink or a snack? |
**Carolyn Van Slyck:** I want a little robot. I want Johnny 5 from Short Circuit, and he can just bring me drinks and fight off robbers, and things like that. I think if you looked at his system programming, it could be in Go. You never know. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Node, disassemble #5. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Although I will say it's probably good, that lack of desire for me to get up and get a snack, because that probably prevents me from snacking more than I should. Because I'm like "How bad do I really want this chips?" \[laughter\] |
**Carolyn Van Slyck:** My cat likes to steal food off my plate like a ninja. As you're bringing your food up to your mouth, he's already pulled off three chips from the plate. That's just my own dieting strategy, I just let him sit with me, and whatever ends up in my mouth I guess was the right amount, most of it ends ... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Alright, so we've already established that you are a goddess; we've got the GopherCon talk, we've got the Chicago Go meetup, we've got the Kubernetes cluster at your own house... |
**Erik St. Martin:** Women Who Go... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Dep management... What is it that you're looking for out of a job? Because I think we're gonna have to beat off the people and keep them away from us, so we need to filter this down a little bit. How do we narrow the pipeline down to your ideal job? |
**Carolyn Van Slyck:** I would love to continue working in the open source space in some way, working on cloud infrastructure. When I worked on the Carina product I just loved it. I used to work in - I'm taking a little jog here for a second, but it will go somewhere... I used to work at a big enterprise company with d... |
\[36:05\] But I love working in open source, and I like running stuff in the cloud, I love playing with all these things, and I'd like to make the software that runs the cloud, I guess... Anyone's cloud. I'm not picky. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** That narrows it down nicely, and I know [Heptio](https://heptio.com/) is hiring, so I think we should make a phone call to Kevin and Joe over at Heptio and make an introduction. That's a good start. They're probably listening now, because everyone listens to GoTime. |
**Erik St. Martin:** All 60 million of them. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yeah... Call me, Joe. Call me. I'm feeling saucy today. |
**Erik St. Martin:** So I think we probably have 15-20 minutes left. Does anybody wanna talk about interesting projects and news? And then we'll get into \#FreeSoftwareFriday. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Let's do. |
**Carolyn Van Slyck:** Sure. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Alright, I'll start first. I saw a really cool article by [Filippo Valsorda](https://twitter.com/FiloSottile) about [Calling Rust From Go](https://blog.filippo.io/rustgo/), which was really crazy, and I need to read it again. He gets into assembly, and the calling conventions and stuff like that. B... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Funny aside, based on Filippo... He spoke at [Golang UK today](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lxt8Vqn4JiQ&index=6&list=PLDWZ5uzn69eyM81omhIZLzvRhTOXvpeX90) and they didn't have an MC, so I ended up MC-ing this afternoon, and I introduced Philippo as "The guy who writes the blog posts that make me f... |
**Erik St. Martin:** Yeah, he's done some crazy ones, like the cGo 1 and things like that, and some TLS... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yeah, we got a lot of applause on that one too, so I'm not the only one. |
**Erik St. Martin:** \[laughs\] I think we mentioned it on last week's episode too, but [Go 1.9 RC 2](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/golang-announce/lcUUfQalrr4/pvJm8_4LBwAJ) is out, and you're all trying your code against it, filing bugs... Right? |
**Carolyn Van Slyck:** Yes. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yes, I have some production workloads running with Go 1.9. \[laughter\] |
**Erik St. Martin:** I think that's just you, Brian. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** What did we learn at GopherCon? What does RC mean for Go? It means that Google believes in it enough to put it in production. |
**Erik St. Martin:** That's true, they did say that. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Was I the only one at GopherCon this year? I think I may have been. |
**Carolyn Van Slyck:** It's a great point. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** That's what they said. So if Google can put Go 1.9 RC 2 in production, then at least you could put just a little bit of your workload on it, too. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Very true. |
**Carolyn Van Slyck:** You know, if for no other reason than the new dot-dot-dot syntax not picking up what's in vendor just makes tears come to my eyes, it's so useful. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Yeah, exactly. Just so you could `go test` the current directory without skipping vendor, baby. That right there is the best thing ever. Well, maybe not ever, but it's a really nice thing. |
**Carolyn Van Slyck:** Well, now that a bunch of people are starting to commit to vendor because at least the people on Dep have been encouraging it, the first thing everyone says is "How do I not run my dependencies tests?", the answer is "Use Go 1.9." |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Upgrade. |
**Carolyn Van Slyck:** Yes. |
**Erik St. Martin:** \[39:50\] I also ran across two really cool libraries for Go. Well, one of them is something implemented in the first, but it's an interactive prompt library. It's ridiculously cool. It's called [go-prompt](https://github.com/c-bata/go-prompt), and it has some fun tab completion and stuff. If you c... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Wow... |
