**Justin Garrison:** Hello, and welcome to Ship It, the podcast all about what happens after you get push. I'm your host, Justin Garrison, and with me as always, Autumn Nash. How's it going, Autumn? |
**Autumn Nash:** Good. Also, I feel like the last 20% of all software projects, and then the maintaining it part is almost more painful than the beginning part. |
**Justin Garrison:** The lifecycle -- 80% of software is not to the writing of the code, right? |
**Autumn Nash:** Nobody tells you that in college. |
**Justin Garrison:** We cover most of software on this podcast, if we want to just group that in the 80% of the lifecycle of software... |
**Autumn Nash:** The part where the struggle gets real... |
**Justin Garrison:** This is where you cry. This is the episode where -- |
**Autumn Nash:** Okay, can we talk about that? Why are all the memes and TikTok videos and Instagram videos, they're like "I'm a software engineer", and then they're crying? I'm "There's a pattern..." No one told me that 50% to 75% of this job would involve crying at your desk, and then asking the computer and compiler... |
**Justin Garrison:** A lot of the memes are like "Writing code is hard." Figuring out that algorithm, or that loop, or the clever way to do something is the hard part. |
**Autumn Nash:** That's the fun part. |
**Justin Garrison:** Right. You've got to figure out a problem, and you're not -- you're like figuring it out on your own time. |
**Autumn Nash:** And then the edge case ruins your entire life... |
**Justin Garrison:** When software interrupts your life... |
**Autumn Nash:** And it's like "Just kidding..." |
**Justin Garrison:** Yeah. |
**Autumn Nash:** let's stop lying to people. Okay? We just want you to know it's real fun, but you may cry. |
**Justin Garrison:** It does happen sometimes. |
**Autumn Nash:** There will be tears. Just saying. |
**Justin Garrison:** On today's episode we have Jon Johnson, who's going to talk all about tars, and compression. |
**Autumn Nash:** His excitement for tars just makes my heart happy. |
**Justin Garrison:** Oh my gosh, the Plus Plus content on this episode is the best. |
**Autumn Nash:** That is the cutest poem I've -- he dads hard. And we know how he dads hard because the way that he read it was like perfect storybook nighttime daddying... And the way that he made it like rhyme... Fire. |
**Justin Garrison:** He's read some Dr. Seuss in his life, that's for sure. |
**Autumn Nash:** Right?! he's the Dr. Seuss of tars. Whoever did Deflate needs to call them and like write that poem into their documentation. Just a little video snippet of him. |
**Justin Garrison:** Yes. If you want an episode with links to RFCs, and also poems, this is the episode for you. |
**Autumn Nash:** But how wild is that? That's why I love tech. People get so -- it's just like all of us like in our random, nerd hyperfixation about what you just like really love, and seeing people's eyes light up, and they get all excited just makes me happy on the inside. |
**Justin Garrison:** Yes. It is great. To start the episode, before the interview, we're gonna go ahead and go into a couple links for this week... And Autumn, I'm gonna have you go first this time. What have you got? |
**Autumn Nash:** Okay, so I'm reading all the tweets from Microsoft Build, which I think are actually pretty exciting. It's really cool to see the new Snapdragon chip... |
**Justin Garrison:** Yeah, the new Qualcomm Snapdragon X. I want one of those. As soon as I find a desktop or a dev reference board... I don't want a laptop; I want an actual just like stick it in a corner and run with my home lab. |
**Autumn Nash:** I know. I'm the way that you love like Linux, I can't imagine you buying like a straight Windows computer... But I do want to see what you do with that chip. But it's interesting, because they're saying that the Snapdragon was created to basically filter all of the AI data that it's going to take off o... |
**Justin Garrison:** Anything on your computer... |
**Autumn Nash:** Yeah. I think there's some stuff that we don't need to know about every nerdy Google search that I do... You don't need to know my full shopping history at 11 o'clock at night. But in some ways, data collection can be really helpful. We all love when the algorithm tells you about this really cool thing... |
**Justin Garrison:** Collect all the things? |
**Autumn Nash:** Yes... And it's like, is this spyware, or is this better? Like, it's getting weird. Not just that, but the lady from Bumble said she wanted, instead of us doing like dating, she wants us to basically have two AI secretaries talk to each other... And I'm like "Yo, I thought AI was gonna do all the stuff... |
**Justin Garrison:** You've seen plenty of people on the dating apps. They don't want to talk to people either. Social anxiety is real... |
**Autumn Nash:** My dating history - it's been rough. I think I might need therapy from dating at this point... But -- |
**Justin Garrison:** There's an AI bot for that. |
