[3817.00 --> 3818.32] What a great problem.
[3818.68 --> 3833.76] Um, could you build something that samples running Go code and, you know, periodically at some schedule and, uh, and collects the results up, um, would be extremely useful and really fun probably as well.
[3833.76 --> 3834.26] Yeah.
[3834.26 --> 3835.54] It's like a lot of fun ones.
[3835.54 --> 3841.00] Once you start to see like, for example, a large company, you know, aggregate and all the profile and data.
[3841.00 --> 3847.82] So you can see like, Oh, the companies, you know, the, for example, you can actually improve your bill on your cloud provider.
[3847.82 --> 3852.26] Uh, you can say that like a loss of the calls are actually like dependent on this one function.
[3852.26 --> 3858.58] Um, and you know, if you optimize it, we can actually cut the billing, like by 10% or something, right?
[3858.58 --> 3863.18] Like it's actually pretty useful once you start to do this systematically everywhere.
[3863.66 --> 3864.22] Hmm.
[3864.22 --> 3870.88] Well, I love, I love the message of when wait till you've got something running and then look at optimizing it.
[3870.94 --> 3877.50] I think in some cases you can shortcut it, but generally speaking, yeah, that advice is sound.
[3877.50 --> 3889.06] And the idea of being able to profile running production systems and to understand them better, I think is, is, um, a great goal to have.
[3889.06 --> 3895.94] And what a great use of the, the tools that we, that we have as part of our ecosystem.
[3897.10 --> 3899.42] Well, on that bombshell, I mean, I think that's it.
[3899.50 --> 3902.82] I think we've, uh, we've reached the end of the hour.
[3902.82 --> 3909.16] And so the end of this episode, thank you very much, Johnny and Jana.
[3909.34 --> 3909.98] It's been awesome.
[3910.42 --> 3911.68] How have you liked it?
[3912.00 --> 3918.36] I can talk about this topic for hours and I think, you know, this was awesome, but we should keep, you know, talking about tools, I think.
[3919.30 --> 3920.06] Yeah, absolutely.
[3920.20 --> 3930.40] Well, there's a lot, there's lots more to discuss and, um, I might even see if we can bring in some people from the community that have, um, built some of the tools that we're using today.
[3930.40 --> 3935.66] One, one other little, uh, bit of info that I think is quite interesting.
[3936.12 --> 3944.02] The only actual contribution I personally made to the Go project was to remove something from GoLint.
[3944.38 --> 3949.26] So one time GoLint got a bit easier, uh, to satisfy.
[3949.58 --> 3950.32] Thanks to me.
[3950.48 --> 3951.18] You're welcome.
[3952.74 --> 3953.26] Yay.
[3953.58 --> 3954.02] Yeah.
[3954.20 --> 3955.80] I, I, I delete code.
[3956.06 --> 3956.74] I delete code.
[3956.82 --> 3957.98] I mean, I love it.
[3958.34 --> 3959.42] Well, yeah, that's it.
[3959.42 --> 3960.54] Thank you so much.
[3960.84 --> 3963.78] Um, we'll see you next time on GoTime.
[3971.42 --> 3974.68] Thanks for listening to this classic episode of GoTime.
[3975.12 --> 3976.12] Subscribe now.
[3976.20 --> 3980.16] If you're new, head to GoTime.fm for all the ways.
[3980.56 --> 3984.80] And long time listeners, do us a solid by sharing the show with your friends.
[3984.80 --> 3986.84] That's the best way people find us.
[3987.06 --> 3988.62] In fact, I will cut you a deal.
[3988.98 --> 3995.14] Email a personal recommendation to three friends and BCC go time at changelog.com.
[3995.26 --> 3997.50] I'll send you a free pack of changelog stickers.
[3997.84 --> 3999.00] That's a win, win, win.
[3999.16 --> 4000.06] With win, win, win.
[4000.30 --> 4000.92] We all win.
[4001.00 --> 4004.50] Thanks again to our partners at Fastly for having our CDN covered.
[4004.66 --> 4006.58] To BMC for these banging beats.
[4006.94 --> 4007.90] And to you for listening.
[4008.44 --> 4009.20] We appreciate you.
[4009.20 --> 4012.48] Next week, we welcome Ronna Steinberg to the show.
[4012.80 --> 4017.52] She joins Natalie and Ian to discuss object-oriented programming and Go.
[4018.12 --> 4021.56] That's what you can look forward to next time on GoTime.
[4021.56 --> 4033.84] Game on.
