**Erik St. Martin:** Alright everybody, welcome back for another episode of GoTime. Today is episode number 43, and our sponsors for today are [Toptal](https://www.toptal.com/) and [DataDog](https://www.datadoghq.com/). |
On the show today we have myself, Erik St. Martin, we also have Carlisia Pinto - say hi, Carlisia... |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Hi, everybody. |
**Erik St. Martin:** And Brian finally made it on the show... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Oh, cut me some slack... I haven't had caffeine or sleep in like two weeks. |
**Erik St. Martin:** \[laughs\] And our special guest today is a principal technologist at Pivotal and one of our favorite Gopher artists, Ashley McNamara. Do you wanna give everybody a brief little intro of who you are and some of the stuff you're working on? |
**Ashley McNamara:** Yeah, so I am Ashley McNamara and I do a lot of Gopher artwork. \[laughs\] |
**Erik St. Martin:** Our favorite Gopher artwork! |
**Ashley McNamara:** Our favorite Gopher artwork... I created a little avatar generator called [Gopherize.me](https://gopherize.me/), and then I've done the GopherCon... Logo, I guess you would call it this year, as well as a number of other art pieces in the Go community, because I love that silly Gopher so much. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Every adorable Gopher on the internet, every one, comes from Ashley. |
**Ashley McNamara:** It's been a streak lately, I'll give you that. |
**Erik St. Martin:** The machine box logo is pretty baller, too... That little robot is awesome. |
**Ashley McNamara:** Oh my god... I love that little robot so much! |
**Erik St. Martin:** I have to say I'm a little jealous though, because you can do both artwork and programming. I unfortunately cannot. |
**Ashley McNamara:** Yeah, but being a Jill of all trades has some setbacks... I feel like I'm master of none. I feel like I'm always trying to learn things in different places, and never mastering one thing. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** That's perfect! |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Oh, I feel that way every day! |
**Ashley McNamara:** Oh... Okay, so I'm normal. This is amazing. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** That's so normal... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** We call that life, right? |
**Ashley McNamara:** Oh, okay... |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Especially with tech... So many new things; you just have to try focus and not have anxiety over what you don't know and you're not learning. |
**Ashley McNamara:** Yeah, that's why it's Xanax... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Now Xanax... I can get behind Xanax. \[laughter\] |
**Erik St. Martin:** Family friendly here... \[laughs\] |
**Ashley McNamara:** It's family friendly. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Xanax is family friendly. |
**Ashley McNamara:** It definitely is. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** The more Xanax I have, the more friendly I am. \[laughter\] |
**Erik St. Martin:** I'd say that's pretty normal though, because everything in technology - it's impossible to know all areas. You'll see something somebody else did and you're like "Oh, I wish I was better at that", and it's like... You know, recently I've loved tinkering with hardware, but I'm not a hardware guy, so... |
**Ashley McNamara:** Yeah, but do you feel like that about everything? Because I feel like that about everything, where I'm like "Oh man, I wish I was better at that." I feel like I say that a lot. "I wish I was better at `git`, I wish I was better at all of the things..." |
**Erik St. Martin:** Brian is a testament to it, ask him... I'm terrible about that; I think I'm good at nothing. \[laughter\] |
**Brian Ketelsen:** \[04:00\] It's true. I have to force Erik to take credit for all the awesome stuff he does. He's like "No, this isn't that cool." Are you kidding me?! So I just post it for him. I do it all the time. I have absolutely no fear. |
**Ashley McNamara:** Impostor syndrome is real. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Open sourcing Erik's projects is a service, that's my job. |
**Ashley McNamara:** Oh, I love that. Alright... |
**Erik St. Martin:** I think it's too hard... There's just too much we wanna do. There's a quote, like a Venn diagram that I saw one time where it's like "What you think other people know versus what they actually know", and you see the surface... |
**Ashley McNamara:** It was a pie chart, I think. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Yeah, and you're just kind of looking at it and you think they know everything to know about that topic, but really you're kind of seeing all they know about it in that little bit. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** It's the Facebook view. |
**Ashley McNamara:** Yes... |
**Erik St. Martin:** You know, the internet... I love the internet, because it brings everybody together, and exposes us to a lot of stuff. But I hate it in the same way, because you're also comparing yourself to a highly curated list of the best the world has to offer, every single day. |
**Ashley McNamara:** Totally. |
**Erik St. Martin:** You're looking around at these cool things and you think everybody is cooler than -- like, "I'm not a millionaire at 20? I'm a failure in life..." \[laughter\] |
**Carlisia Thompson:** So what are some of the things that you wish you knew better, Ashley? |
**Ashley McNamara:** Oh geez, everything. |
