Mostly backend and cloud stuff, in various languages, lots of infra as code things also.
James Thurley (Sep 06 2024 at 18:40):James here :wave: Full stack software dev from the UK. Glad you’re trying Zulip. Slack always felt a bit at odds with the changelog ethos. Interested to see how well it works here.
Alex Barnes (Sep 06 2024 at 19:18):Hi I'm Alex, Software Engineer from the UK. Mainly Backend development using Go. And plenty of homelabing.
Andrew O'Brien (Sep 06 2024 at 20:05):Hi, I'm Andrew. I'm based in the DC-Baltimore area. Technically Python is my main language right now even though I was probably happiest with TS. Anyway, I spend more time running meetings and writing Ansible, Terraform, Gitlab CI, and shell scripts for my team than working on our application.
Matthew Sanabria (Sep 06 2024 at 20:22):Hello! I'm Matthew Sanabria. I'm based in New Jersey and I primarily work with Go, Linux, etc as an SRE and SWE. I'm learning Rust in my spare time and waiting for my TuringPi 2.5 to ship to finish my home lab.
AJ Kerrigan (Sep 06 2024 at 20:39):Hey hey :wave: , I'm AJ and also based in New Jersey. Here to keep up with folks and topics that I don't bump into at work. By day I'm a duct tape specialist solutions architect touching Python and SQL more than anything else. I made a useful commit once.
Notification Bot (Sep 06 2024 at 22:12):Gert Van Gool has marked this topic as resolved.
Daniel Buckmaster (Sep 07 2024 at 01:52):@Gert Van Gool welcome! :smile: Was that deliberate?
Notification Bot (Sep 07 2024 at 03:56):Gert Van Gool has marked this topic as unresolved.
Gert Van Gool (Sep 07 2024 at 04:00):Hello hello, I'm Gert. I'm living in Vancouver, BC. I mostly work with Python and Django, but also running some hosting on the side (1 rack in Antwerp, Belgium).
And I accidentally resolved this topic topic because I thought it was marking it as read
Daniel Buckmaster (Sep 07 2024 at 05:11):Hi everyone, I'm a web dev and cofounder in Sydney, Australia. And I used to live in Antwerp, Belgium! Great country :)
Matt Johnson (Sep 07 2024 at 15:18):Hi everyone, I'm representing myself here as a software engineer/developer/programmer, system engineer/administrator/devops/sre, project manager, and occasionally <insert other random hat here> mostly in the web development space on linux servers.
I am growing a homelab on multiple mini pcs in a very slow process trying to understand Incus as an orchestrator of QEMU VMs and LXC containers in a distributed cluster of nodes.
I have also messed with self-hosted Varnish services as a caching layer for web backends and have gotten involved in trying to make a pipedream a reality.
Chris Woods (Sep 07 2024 at 20:28)::wave: I'm Chris. I've been a tech generalist for a long time. I'm a linux nerd, use a lot of programming languages. I miss Usenet, XEmacs, and SunOS. I'm a tech lead type in a big old insurance company with big old systems. I even bump into the mainframe from time to time.
Fille (Sep 10 2024 at 06:08):Howdy! I am a Co-Founder and Developer @ https://imgnry.com from Stockholm, Sweden. I love making things. Mostly games. But also other small services like https://whencaniuse.imgnry.com/
Pontus Ullgren (Sep 12 2024 at 09:55):Hello! Polyglot (programing languages that is) developer and occasional sysadmin. Also work with what I like to call Tool Chain Management and others seems to call "Platform Engineering" these days.
Came to Changelog for GoTime, then got stuck in the Master Feed for several years before I decided it is time to invest more in this relationship. It feels like I keep taking but do not giving anything back. It's time to commit.
Really happy your testing Zulip since I have serious Slack fatigue.
Thomas Eckert (Sep 20 2024 at 02:21):Hello! I am an engineer turned operations manager for Redpanda Data. I've been on a handful of Changelog episodes. I used to be at HashiCorp and Microsoft. Before that I did physics.
I am working on a side project https://devy.page which is a blogging platform for devs based on Markdown and Git.
I write a lot of Go at work and mostly Rust in my spare time.
FlakM (Sep 20 2024 at 09:30):Hi :wave: I'm a father of 2 and a rust backend developer from Poland. I sometimes blog about my work here: https://flakm.com/ I'm a dedicated self-hoster and recently I'm playing with raspberry pico. Really happy to try out zulip - we use slack at work and I never wanted to join slack communities because they feel very worky and busy.
Erik Svensson (Sep 21 2024 at 19:19):Hi! I'm a 40 y/o father of 2 girls, I'm Swedish, homesteading and beekeeping. I've been working with application operations on Linux for about 15 years, the last 5 years I've been operating OpenShift, and also sort of shifting career paths into full-stack development. At work it's mainly C# and typescript (Angular) running on OCP, at home (and somewhat sneaking it in at work) I'm getting into Go (thanks GoTime!). I've been enjoing various changelog pods for the last 2 years (at least since Gerhard was hosting Ship It so it might be longer than that, who's keeping track of time since covid anyway?). I really enjoy your shows! Great work everyone hosting and spreading the good tech-vibes!
Amolith (Sep 22 2024 at 18:31):Hello o/
Glad to see Changelog try out an open source chat system :) I never joined on Slack because I really dislike it and use it as little as possible, but I love Zulip.
I'm a member of a co-op that creates some open source and copyleft services, and I do everything from admin and dev to support and tech writing. I also co-host a couple podcasts (not sure whether linking to them is ok so I'll refrain for now :eyes:)
Owen Valentine (Sep 22 2024 at 19:58):Amolith said:

I feel like a link from someone who's here for the sake of being here is pretty workable :P can appreciate a good recommendation. Let it come up in conversation I guess? :D
Also, welcome!
Philip Durbin (Sep 22 2024 at 22:02):Oh, just tell us already. :grinning:
Adam Stacoviak (Sep 22 2024 at 23:51):Linking to other podcasts is strictly prohibited (jk). Link it up. 
Daniel Buckmaster (Sep 23 2024 at 05:01):Amolith said:

I want to hear more about this!
Amolith (Sep 23 2024 at 21:26):Hah alright. The podcasts are Linux Dev Time, part of the Late Night Linux Family, and Linux Lads. LDT is more professional, LL is extremely casual.
The co-op is MBOA and our most well-known product is probably JMP.chat.
Troy Witthoeft (Sep 25 2024 at 00:15):Hey all, father of two girls, and Software Engineering Manager in Finance reporting in. Lucky to run a talented team of nerds building cloud apps in js (react), python, dotnet, and sql. Hobbies are travel and small form factor PCs.
This zulip thing ain't half bad ...

Raúl (Sep 26 2024 at 14:35):Hey everyone :wave::smile:
Raúl here. Software engineer from Portugal, currently working as a fractional CTO. Love the outdoors, surfing, mountain biking, and the Changelog podcast :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
Chris Manson (Sep 26 2024 at 18:23):Howdy folks :wave: I was part of the Slack for a long time but I'll introduce myself again here since it's a new platform :joy:
I'm Chris, I'm the mad Ember guy that never stops talking about it :hamster: (on a bunch of core teams so I guess it makes sense). I'm a bit of tinkerer and like to invent and work on tools to help devs (like lint-to-the-future and release-plan). Always happy to chat so AMA :joy: (still getting used to zulip tho)
Matthew Sanabria (Sep 29 2024 at 03:38):I've already introduced myself above but I'd like to claim on of those All Things Open tickets if there's any left. I'll be there already but I could bring a friend with the free ticket.
John Tocher (Sep 29 2024 at 05:02):Hi all, I'm a specialist generalist living and working in Sydney, Australia. I really enjoy the podcasts where the hosts and guests get into the weeds about why people make the choices they do, and not just the features and technical details. The Interview shows, Friends and ShipIt! have been the source of most of my favourites lately, but I listen to many of the other ChangeLog podcasts, as well as bunch of others, during my 10+ hours per week in transit.
My hobbies include trying to improve collaboration between groups that's inherently secretive and stand-offish, and attempting to introduce more open technologies to organisations that are massively on board with the usual big proprietary players. I tell myself that these brick wall imprints on my forehead are for the greater good!
I've touched on a huge number of technologies and stacks over the years, spending a lot of my time these days with python and linux, getting different systems to talk to one another to get stuff done in the public sector. I've pretty much always written software, but never been a what you would call a full time developer. Lots of mentoring and architecture these days, trying to help our newer people make more interesting mistakes than I've made.
Zulip looks great, and I'm optimistic it might be the default hang-out I haven't had in quite some time. Looking back at this message though, I may have to do something about my wordiness, sorry!
Matthew Fish (Sep 29 2024 at 15:04):Hoy hoy 👨🏼✈️ I'm Matthew, a self-hoster self-taught programmer. I have 2 kids, love JS, Python, and Docker.
I like to use iOS Shortcuts linked with Scriptable and other dev apps to make all my homelab tasks and views available in widgets and calls. If anyone wants to pick my brain just hit me up!
Ryan N (Sep 29 2024 at 16:02):Hey all :wave:
I'm a product support person, and would be very excited to get a free pass to ATO :folded_hands:! I've been trying to justify buying one on my own, but they're a bit pricey.
Outside of that, long-time listener interested in all things software and tech, trying to dive deeper every day.
David Brown (Sep 30 2024 at 02:16):Hey All! :wave:
I'm a lot of things technical, developer, operator, and teacher. I encourage others and contribute to open source whenever I can. I love coding so much I married a coder and forked 2 children. I'm not sure if they'll be coders, but I'm stoked to find out what they'll be grown up.
I've worked on the very large [1][2][3] to the very small (homelab setup). I'm currently technical lead for a research data portal at PNNL. I really enjoy my job and where I'm at in life, also helping out with WSU Tri-cities inspire the next generation (I'm teaching assembly) and loving it.
Feel free to reach out if you want to chat, I always love talking about tech and peoples experiences.
Colin Dean (Oct 02 2024 at 04:14)::wave: I'm a software engineer and community builder from Pittsburgh. You might know me from some Pittsburgh-area tech conferences I've hosted under the Code & Supply banner such as Abstractions, Heartifacts, Uptime, Steel City Ruby, devopsdays Pittsburgh, etc. or 2000s-early 2010s LAN parties like Pittco and the GXL (in Philly!). I'm a contributor to Homebrew and current project leadership committee member for it. I started a non-profit ISP now called Community Internet Solutions, although I graduated from its board of directors last year after eight years on it. I do a bunch of stuff as an engineer supporting data scientists at a national retail company that actually sells very little in the way of archery products.
I was in a Changelog episode last year when Adam and Jerrod interviewed me at Strangeloop. I am frequently found at conferences in the Rust Belt and nearby, almost always in a top hat :top_hat:
Justin (Oct 02 2024 at 13:33):Hey'all :wave:
I'm a developer/CTO at a small company in the Detroit Metro area. I help run a Python user group and a "general"/unix/linux group. I can also be found at the local hackerspace working on a variety of projects. I am interested in zulip and glad to see the changelog checking it out. I've been listening for a few years, but now more than ever. Hope to make some new connections and gain some more perspective. Cheers :beers:
Don MacKinnon (Oct 02 2024 at 17:22):Don't recall if I ever introduced myself on the Changelog Slack, I've been over there for awhile. Long time listener to the Changelog, JS Party and all of the Founders Talk episodes when those were a thing. CTO and Co-Founder at a brand new startup called Searchcraft, it's a developer-focused SaaS platform that is an alternative to Algolia and Elasticsearch. We're currently trying to wrap our seed raise for this and :fingers_crossed: we are starting full time on it in the next couple weeks. Previously I was the CTO at a software dev agency called Chalk, we built apps for a lot of startups but lately that space has dried up which is why we're putting that company into hibernation mode. My title is "CTO" but I still write code everyday, been working professionally as a developer since 1998 one of my first career jobs was working at a dotcom startup. I'm married and have two kids, one of which just got his first car :grimacing: . I mostly write Rust and Typescript these days but more and more it's Rust and less Typescript. I've also watched Silicon Valley end to end 3 times and am thinking about watching it again soon. Halt and Catch Fire is also a great show if you haven't seen that one. More on the drama side than SV but for those of us that are builders it really resonates.
Fershad Irani (Oct 03 2024 at 00:45):Hi everyone. I'm Fershad, an Aussie who now calls Taiwan home. So stoked that Changelog is trying out Zulip & giving it a lot of love on the pod. We use it for internal communication where I work (Green Web Foundation) and so decided to hop on in here since I've got it open nearly every day anyway.
valon-loshaj (Oct 05 2024 at 20:34):greeting from new jersey, usa! 👋🏼
i’m a software engineer and have been following the changelog for a little over a year now.
have been on the changelog slack for a while now. hopped over to zulip and really enjoy the look and feel. this is such a great approach on messaging, definitely has something unique from other messaging apps.
great work zulip team!
Jamie Tanna (Oct 06 2024 at 08:44):Hey hey 👋🏽
I'm Jamie Tanna (he/him) who you may recognise from my blog (https://www.jvt.me), a couple of Changelog appearances, the oapi-codegenGo OpenAPI code generator.
Been thoroughly enjoying the Changelog community for years (and the Changelog podcasts too)
Gard (Oct 10 2024 at 02:54):Hello from Mexico/Norway :wave:
I am a software enginee/consultant and have been following and enjoying the changelog for some years now. It is always on when I am going to pick up my daughter from kindergarten. I am going to the ATO as it sounds like a cool conferance after listening to the shows!
Keep up the great pods!
Brian Fulton (Oct 10 2024 at 23:13):std::cout << ('Hello Nerds') << std::endl
I'm Brian, Been listening to Changelog for the last year and a half (since I've been working on my C.S. degree) I've gotten several papers and discussion posts done based on the many interviews so thanks for that guys!
Brian Fulton (Oct 11 2024 at 13:43):I'm in North Carolina,.. did all the ATO tickets get scooped up already?
Jerod Santo (Oct 11 2024 at 13:46):Nope, we have a few left! I'll DM You details...
Andrei Jiroh Halili (Oct 24 2024 at 15:01):Good evening from the :flag_philippines:! I'm Andrei Jiroh Halili, Autistic Filipino, currently in senior high school and open-source developer and SABDFL at Recap Time Squad. I am also a Hack Clubber since Arcade 2024 and Alpine Linux package maintainer for GitHub CLI. I am currently daily-driving Arch btw on my second-hand HP laptop (from my OFW [overseas Filipino worker] dad in :flag_saudi_arabia:) with Alpine and Debian/Ubuntu on containers/dev environments.
Jerod Santo (Oct 24 2024 at 15:43):Sorry @Yating deleting your message as it triggered my spam-o-meter :siren:
Adam Bedenbaugh (Oct 30 2024 at 03:04):Hi everyone! I've been listening to Changelog for a few years. This week I attended ATO and meet Adam. He convinced me (as well as the entire theme of ATO) that I should be more involved in the communities that I enjoy.
Five years ago, I use to do cancer research, but was unhappy with the career. In my free time, I did home lab type of stuff and made guitar pedals. My brother-in-law helped me get an interview for a professional services job that got me into tech. Now I'm a Platform Architect with Boomi (a low code integration platform), which involves me doing the technical side of enterprise architecture.
