**Erik St. Martin:** You can only hope that they're forks of other people's projects that are being maintained. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Right?! |
**Mark Bates:** I try to delete my forks as quick as possible. It's for the best. |
**Erik St. Martin:** \[20:04\] Nathan Youngman in the GoTime FM channels says that there is a fork of the migrate library - that's a tool, or whatever you wanna call it by Gemnasium that also has Cassandra support, so that's cool. |
**Mark Bates:** Yeah. |
**Erik St. Martin:** I love Cassandra, too. |
**Mark Bates:** I think that was my problem with Migrate - it wasn't Cassandra support, I just remembered... It was everything had to be done via parameters on the command line, and it was difficult to work with since I was setting up configurations for within my app, and then now I'm running migrations outside the app... |
**Erik St. Martin:** Nathan also said - and this is actually on your Shoulders page - fsnotify. |
**Mark Bates:** Yeah. |
**Erik St. Martin:** It's a really, really useful library. He says he sucks at maintaining, who wants to maintain it? \[laughter\] So if you're looking to help maintain a project... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** This is a swap meet? |
**Mark Bates:** \[laughs\] I'd definitely love commit access on fsnotify, I use it a lot. It's a great library, and it's what basically powers the ability for Buffalo to rebuild your binary whenever a file changes. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** I think you should take it over, Mark. |
**Mark Bates:** I'm happy to get commit access to it, definitely. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Look at this, we're making deals... Brokering stuff right here, at Dunkin' Donuts, live in Boston. |
**Mark Bates:** Right, but Nathan has to take commit access on one of my projects too, that's the way that works. \[laughter\] |
**Erik St. Martin:** Oh, nice. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Wow, you're smart. \[laughter\] |
**Erik St. Martin:** So I also have to interject... I just saw an email come through, and the last early bird ticket for GopherCon is officially gone. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Nice! |
**Mark Bates:** Woohoo! |
**Carlisia Thompson:** Wow... What - two days? |
**Brian Ketelsen:** One day. |
**Erik St. Martin:** Yeah, a day and a half, because late tonight it will be two full days. So yeah, that's awesome. So anyway, I kind of just totally derailed our Buffalo talk, but we'll get back to it at GopherCon. |
**Mark Bates:** GopherCon's gonna be amazing this year, I know that for a fact. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** It sounds like there will be a lot more people this year than last year. |
**Erik St. Martin:** So before we get on to all the news and stuff, I'd love to hear kind of like -- so Buffalo is kind of just in its infancy... What's the future for Buffalo? What are some of the things you're looking to do with it? Where would you like to see it go? |
**Mark Bates:** Yeah, that's a great question. So we reached 0.7.0 yesterday, which was a huge release because it brought it all that build compatibility yesterday. Things that I would love to see worked on are more generators - I'm a big fan of generating all the things, like Brian is. You could do "buffalo new" and i... |
Definitely need to look at support for background jobs; I know there are several sidekick-like worker jobs in Go world, so we'll get support for those, we'll get support for mailing, creating mailers. Again, I look for really nice packages and then just try to write some glue around it that makes it easy for everybody ... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** That's awesome. |
**Carlisia Thompson:** That's a lot. |
**Mark Bates:** Oh, and form builders. I was working on a form builder today. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Validations. Validations would be useful, too. |
**Mark Bates:** Yeah, those just dropped in pop today, actually. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Ask and you shall receive. |
**Mark Bates:** \[23:55\] \[laughs\] I'm like that. Yeah, you can now "validate and create", "validate and save", "validate and update", that sort of thing. So yeah, those are already in pop, and they're ready to go. The generator generates basic validations for you now. |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Wow! All of this since we talked yesterday? |
**Mark Bates:** Yeah, man. I'm a machine. \[laughs\] |
**Brian Ketelsen:** Do you have a life? How does your family feel about your abandonment of their needs? |
**Mark Bates:** Um... Who? \[laughter\] |
**Carlisia Thompson:** What fuels you, Mark? Dunkin' Donuts? How do you get so much done? |
**Mark Bates:** Are those the people in my house? |
**Brian Ketelsen:** That explains it all. |
**Mark Bates:** That explains it... Both my sons call me Mark, which I think is kind of odd... \[laughter\] No, um... |
**Erik St. Martin:** I don't think it's supposed to work that way. |
**Mark Bates:** I don't think so either. I've got a wonderful wife and two wonderful children. I honestly couldn't be -- I couldn't do any of this without their support. They're wonderful, they always have been. My conference talks, my books that I've written, the projects I've started - they've always been big support... |
So I code pretty feverishly between when my wife and kids leave for school and work in the morning and when I pick them up. The kids up about five, and then from five till eight-thirty, nine o'clock I'm a family man, I just do my things with the family. On the weekends I leverage the kids' downtime, when they want to b... |
**Brian Ketelsen:** That's awesome. Just looking at your GitHub profile - you're prolific. Every two minutes you're putting out a new change. I think working on Buffalo or working with Buffalo over the last couple weeks - it's blown my mind just like the validations. I ask, "Hey, you think it would be possible to do X,... |
**Carlisia Thompson:** It's because he drinks Dunkin' Donuts coffee. |
**Mark Bates:** It's because I drink Dunkin' Donuts every morning. I actually do drink Dunkin' Donuts coffee every morning. \[laughs\] |
