Jerod & Adam share our Zulip first impressions, react to Elasticsearch going open source (again), discuss Christian Hollinger’s blog post on why he still self-hosts & answer a listener question: how do we produce podcasts?

This was a fun episode. I appreciated the reference to Not Till We Are Lost :smirk:. I didn’t know you helped produce Grafana’s Big Tent. I heard it referenced somewhere and have listened to a few episode and enjoyed it, great job! I’m interested in what other friends you might be working with to help produce for, that’s cool. I enjoyed hearing about how the sausage gets made, and I think its interesting to get a peak behind the curtain and hear more about some of the difficult parts, and where you have found ways to improve the process along the journey. Thanks

Mind you, this is where I am. I like to take my time and often listen several times over the course of months.
External pods are fun. I think we add a TON of value to the process. Half the battle is starting. The other half is sustaining. With the right direction, the content is easy(ish).
Marco fixed it!

His update shipped prior to our show shipping, so this was a nice coincidence.
Fwiw I love the chapters, even though I don't really jump around at all. Most of the time that I'm listening to podcasts I'm walking the dog, working out, or something similar where I'm not really looking at my phone. But I do use them to see what's coming up and use the links if desired. Before I subscribed to ++ I used them to skip ads :sweat_smile: but I mostly listen straight through and rarely want to skip anything because the content is great!
Got mentioned on ++ for the first time: "Ah no. That's a different chris" :joy:
I love that y'all put so much effort into your chapters and I get really annoyed when listening to a podcast without them. :laughing:
I never use them to skip anything but I'm constantly using them to go back to the start of the current conversation/topic to re-listen to something that I got distracted during.
heck yeah on well done chapters. i mostly use them if i want to go back and reference/quote something for sharing or personal notes. don't always have the presence of mind to flag a spot while listening. but i also use them to scan ahead if i'm _pretty_ sure that i'm bouncing off an episode but open to being pulled back in :grinning: . in either case, stumbling across the fun chapter names is a classy touch :top_hat:
Whoever manages to pull off the complete master sequence to hugging Adam immediately becomes a certified legend: eyes locked locked from afar, slight smile, walking up, hand extended, into half hug, whisper during the half hug "I want the whole thing", execute full hug. Possibly the funniest thing I've heard on the show to date :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:
I just can't get the image out of my head of catching someone looking dead ahead, crossing a conference room hand extended hahaha.
brb gotta go listen to that chapter again now :joy:
As I'm reading this, I'm imagining its Erlich Bachman doing this :laughing:
