[3084.64 --> 3084.84] Yeah.
[3085.20 --> 3086.50] You know, if you don't like the song, don't worry.
[3086.58 --> 3087.78] A new one will be on in one minute.
[3088.06 --> 3088.22] Yeah.
[3088.68 --> 3090.14] Are monkeys still around, Ron?
[3090.14 --> 3092.56] So I find that comment offensive.
[3093.00 --> 3093.22] Oh.
[3093.42 --> 3095.18] They are known as primate professionals.
[3096.30 --> 3097.88] You know, they do my taxes.
[3098.62 --> 3104.52] Primate professional is one of my mechanics that maintains my prosthetic limbs.
[3105.32 --> 3107.12] So I really resent that comment.
[3107.38 --> 3108.76] You know, I think you should take that back.
[3108.82 --> 3109.42] They're primates.
[3109.60 --> 3110.12] Fair enough.
[3110.56 --> 3110.80] Yes.
[3110.92 --> 3111.74] Primate professionals.
[3112.14 --> 3112.54] Fair play.
[3113.70 --> 3114.48] Well, okay.
[3114.68 --> 3115.24] I'll tell you what.
[3116.14 --> 3119.92] I mean, obviously, Ron, we want to pick your brains about the future all night.
[3120.06 --> 3122.02] But unfortunately, we've run out of time.
[3122.42 --> 3126.02] Well, that's good because I'm actually, my lasers are almost out of the batteries.
[3126.26 --> 3127.54] I'm going to have to start pedaling.
[3127.92 --> 3131.36] I'm going to have to be pedaling for at least six or seven months to recharge now.
[3131.36 --> 3137.54] So I wish all of you gophers in the past a tremendous lifetime.
[3138.10 --> 3144.24] I hope that you're able to listen to some of this and at least know what not to do with
[3144.24 --> 3145.78] go in the future.
[3146.22 --> 3147.40] Thank you, dead program.
[3147.56 --> 3148.32] Ron Evans.
[3148.32 --> 3150.76] As always, absolute pleasure.
[3151.46 --> 3155.28] And I've been Matt Raya and, of course, my co-host, Natalie Pistinovich.
[3155.50 --> 3156.54] See you next time.
[3160.88 --> 3163.14] Your next step is to subscribe.
[3163.44 --> 3167.56] If you haven't already, head to gotime.fm for all the ways.
[3168.02 --> 3172.00] And don't forget to follow us on Twitter so you can join in on the Unpop polls.
[3172.36 --> 3173.54] We are at Gotime FM.
[3174.02 --> 3176.36] Did you catch our changelog episode with the Graphite team?
[3176.36 --> 3178.86] If not, here's a taste of what you're missing.
[3179.50 --> 3183.68] It's interesting how many stories are like this where it's not your main product that
[3183.68 --> 3184.68] becomes your main product.
[3184.82 --> 3185.38] I think Slack.
[3185.46 --> 3187.40] Wasn't Slack like the internal chat app?
[3187.48 --> 3190.86] They were trying to build games and they're like, wow, this Slack thing is pretty cool
[3190.86 --> 3194.42] that we built and started selling that and obviously became a big deal.
[3194.60 --> 3198.74] Same thing with Flickr, which is like no one knows about Flickr anymore, right?
[3198.82 --> 3203.54] But Flickr began as like some sort of Flash video game and then it turned into image sharing.
[3203.88 --> 3205.54] It was the Instagram before Instagram.
[3205.54 --> 3206.36] There you go.
[3206.72 --> 3208.94] I think it's one of the purest ways to discover something, right?
[3208.98 --> 3212.90] If you solve the need for yourself without some grand idea of making it into a company,
[3213.04 --> 3214.82] but it ends up being that useful.
[3214.96 --> 3215.82] People really want it.
[3216.10 --> 3216.70] It's quite pure.
[3217.30 --> 3217.48] Yeah.
[3217.88 --> 3220.42] It kind of leans to the iteration process too, right?
[3220.44 --> 3222.80] Like even innovation requires iteration.
[3222.98 --> 3223.38] Totally.
[3223.66 --> 3223.88] Right.
[3223.88 --> 3227.86] You can't get to a problem or even a solution without having a problem.
[3227.98 --> 3231.88] And sometimes you have to sort of go on a journey, which might be the wrong tool or the wrong
[3231.88 --> 3232.24] thing.
[3232.30 --> 3238.44] And you sort of discover from your exhaust of iteration that you got this down in the rough
[3238.44 --> 3240.74] if you just put things to work.
[3240.84 --> 3242.12] And there you go.
[3242.12 --> 3246.30] Stacked diffs are super cool for fast moving code review.
[3246.62 --> 3250.56] Listen to the whole thing at changelog.fm slash 491.
[3250.88 --> 3255.96] Thanks again to Fastly for CDNing for us, to Breakmaster Cylinder for keeping our beat
[3255.96 --> 3258.02] supply secure, and to you for listening.
[3258.40 --> 3259.18] We appreciate you.
[3259.18 --> 3265.56] Next up, Matt, Natalie, and myself have a deep discussion on development velocity, estimations,
[3265.78 --> 3267.08] and all that agile jazz.
[3267.60 --> 3271.16] That's something to look forward to next time on GoTime.
