And, you know, I started, you know, like, trying to understand what do podcast hosts do? How do they interview? Like, I started studying, like, the process, right? So I wanted to do it as good a job as I could. But then, you know, by the time, you know, things started rolling, right, you know, We had that conversation. I was like, oh, I'm not going to lie. I was bummed.

I was bummed.

But, you know, you delivered the message sort of very kindly. And I understood why. And I'm like, you know what? Hopefully this is not my last opportunity, right? And I think you said so yourself, right? You know, we've got a lot of things in the works. You got a lot of things coming, you know, like let's keep that door open.

And yeah, and lo and behold, eventually I made it onto the team and the rest is history, right? So I try not to, when I think about it, there's a couple ways I could have handled it. I could have been like, oh, These guys, you know, like I could have been bitter about it, resentful, or I could be like, you know what? Almost got this one. Right. Let me just keep moving forward.

And hopefully another opportunity, you know, sort of shows up. But I keep doing my thing. Right. So I can't hand like my sort of contentment. Right. And my joie de vivre. Right. You know, I am a French speaker after all. I can't hand that over to somebody else. Right. Like I am responsible for my own happiness. So I can't be bitter and resentful.

Yeah. I've lost track at this point.

Yeah. I've lost track at this point.

I think we started diversifying the kinds of things we were talking about, right? So we started talking about things that are adjacent to Go, right? Not just the language itself. And, you know, there's only so many episodes you can have on the actual syntax and the concurrency and all these things. There's been dozens and dozens of blog posts about, oh, why I like Go?

I mean, wherever you fall on the fence there, but the things that are being built will go, the productivity gains people are getting out of it, what companies are being... building the entire stack around, like these things became sort of where we spent a lot of times. And then as time went on, I think we've also sort of bringing even non-technical, but still adjacent to some degree, right?

Topics into the mix as well. Now, I don't know how much our audience appreciates that sort of diversity of topics. You know, I'm sure some people would prefer the hardcore technical stuff all the time and nothing but,

But I'm sure I've heard from other people as well say, hey, remember that episode you did on something that is not ghost specific, but it was something that maybe they were investigating or going through it. And they heard from one of the hosts about something that resonated. So I hear it on both sides, right? So I think the... For me, it's unless somebody says, hey, you can't do that.

I think a lot of topics should extend beyond ghost specific things, as long as there's some connection back, right? Because life is not one dimensional, right? So there's going to be some things that are relevant, right? That makes sense to touch on.
