Introduction of guests Pauline Narvas and Jeff Lee Huntley who work at Gitpod
Wes Bos
2 of the devs who work on Gitpod.
Wes Bos
It's been all over the place. Love it.
Wes Bos
it. Leading up to this podcast, we've been talking about living in a van and, We'll we'll talk about what that is in in just a second.
Wes Bos
stealing NFTs. So Hey. Go ahead.
Wes Bos
Welcome to Syntax. This is the podcast with the tastiest web development treats out there. Today, we've got another really exciting episode for you today. We've got, Oh, zom this is it. This is like, this is web 1 point o. What is it? Say. I feel like I am to get on a Chromebook. Can I code on that thing? Right? So I think you reach out and say, hey. Yeah. I literally have a YouTube video on that. You wanna Talk a little bit about that. Yeah. I I think so the whole point of Gitpod is to allow,
Wes Bos
coding inside your browser, coding on a mobile device, as well as just the 3 minutes,
Explanation of Gitpod's collaboration and workspace sharing features
Guest 4
The status page was hosted off we used to have a process of updating it from Gitpod, and Gitpod itself was down. So,
Scott Tolinski
Nice.
Guest 3
it. How you share your workspace, you can just do so with a, with their Gitpod workspace, which is the, developer environment in on their browser. So I they sent me a link.
Guest 4
The easiest one, of course, is a Zoom screen. You could, like if you're a terminal person, you can use Teammates, the value.
Guest 4
So there's none of this, like, pulling down this experimental branch and then hosing my local computer.
Guest 3
say you're on, like, an index dot a HTML file or something. And Yeah. You you see Wes, like, typing hello world. You you can actually see that in in real time. Cool. Yeah. So, yeah, you get that that Google Docs type of, a flow. Yeah. Yeah. Neat. Exactly.
Guest 4
So
Scott Tolinski
what do you offer as a way for people to collaborate on a code base
Guest 4
I remember a time when I I first joined a long time ago, and we had a scenario where we couldn't update the status page because Second thing is if you see an extension that's not there, if you had to open VSX on on GitHub,
Guest 3
it then allows,
Wes Bos
What language is Gitpod built in then? I'm just Trying to see. I know he's open source. I bet I could even just look at it. Yeah. We use, TypeScript
Guest 4
and, Golang is our primary Wow. Core core tech. Okay. Seems to be a very common,
Guest 3
Take it away, Jeff.
Guest 3
on the same workspace.
Guest 4
and I don't recognize the company, like, when I first grown from a maturity basis.
Guest 3
Although it sounds like a great idea,
Guest 3
that's not something that we support.
Guest 3
it then opens up that URL so that anyone with that URL can then open up your workspace. And now Person
Guest 4
Like, still very early we're gonna see a place where
Guest 4
early stage company. We're growing. We're hiring. Gitpod.io/careers.
Guest 3
Yeah. This is the sort of things I've been trying to do, like just opening up a Google Meet
Guest 3
or editing code or whatever it is on
Scott Tolinski
a a a the the site running in a different environment there? We're not working on the same Environment we're working in separate environments
Guest 4
I hop between reviewing coworkers' work, and I just click a link, and we have the typical problems with bootstrapping. Right? So we we don't break Gitpod,
Scott Tolinski
have a Slack room, or is it is it Is that something Gitpod does not care about whatsoever, and it's just, like, however you manage your own communication, you do it?
Guest 4
it's it's a lovely experience. Like, we when we We did, like I've I've I mean, now at Gitpod,
Scott Tolinski
Via language, essentially. Like, how how if if Wes and I are working in the same environment, how do we talk to each Do we have to fire open a Zoom meeting to to chat with each other?
Guest 4
If you're doing anything,
Wes Bos
Mhmm. Then,
Guest 3
2 with that URL,
Scott Tolinski
My mind's kind of racing about, like, what kind of different different tools you can use. So
Scott Tolinski
And
Scott Tolinski
Yeah. There was a, actually, it's a and and I think that's a cool thing about the collaboration tools Because, honestly, I don't need my text editor to be handling my audio or anything like that. You know, I'm I'm perfectly capable of having other other means of doing that.
Scott Tolinski
of the same thing and he were to fire this up, Would it give him a slightly different URL that's like how how very scary it is to not know anyone's identity
Guest 4
Everything's all contained.
Scott Tolinski
within the collaboration tools, here's a here's an actual question. Within the collaboration tools,
Guest 3
In terms of like communication, And
Scott Tolinski
I don't know if you've seen this before because it's it's it. New. I just saw it on Twitter the other day, and it's basically their whole premise is like the open office Nice. Done in a way. So it's like, How how how can you have, like, a an open office type of deal or an open workflow for everyone to chat with each other in a remote workspace? But Sweet Bobby
Wes Bos
So that's that's pretty exciting.
Wes Bos
stack that has
Scott Tolinski
uptime and service availability. To use the angle grinder to get into the door?
Scott Tolinski
those ways you would be able to do the opposite of that and have you both be pairing on 1 code base? that we get okay. So that's really least 2 separate. Yeah. Exactly. Separate environments.
Guest 4
like, any of the usual things and solutions because, essentially, it's just, like, your computer in a Docker container. And it. Just to be clear, a Docker container is just a transport device.
Guest 4
Keep an eye on there for new features coming down the pipeline.
Guest 4
like, is I could be on the sketchiest Internet possible,
Wes Bos
Let's take a break for another sponsor, is, We can use Linode.
Guest 4
I can see the exact state of their software development environment, and I have access And it's pre all the MPM dependencies are down. Everything's precompiled, ready to go.
Scott Tolinski
Do we,
Guest 4
it. Straight after that incident, we yeeted that that problem way out of existence, and we made hosting the status page someone else's problem.
Wes Bos
Some more questions now. Scott, you wanna do LogRocket? we've had a, I don't know, 3 or 4 guests in the past year, and they're all like, yeah. We're using Golang. It. We're using Golang, and we're using TypeScript.
Wes Bos
and then we'll get into a The fit is awesome. The wear is awesome. Like,
Guest 4
Almost
Guest 3
Yes. Absolutely. One workspace. Yeah. One workspace environment. Exactly.
Guest 3
that's not, enjoyed learning about Gitpod and want to learn more, we have a Gitpod in on the bottom to say, yeah. I want to share this URL with Someone, then you can,
Scott Tolinski
Yeah. Yeah. Is the site down? I don't know. Check the status page. Us. Is this data's page down?
Guest 4
I I don't need scented because I'm normally near a fire And that's its own form of centering. It's nice.
Scott Tolinski
Yeah. Okay. So you have the possibility of everyone having their own or multiples into
Guest 4
Do not host your own status page. Please don't. Yeah. It's it's a bad idea. It's amazing how many people do that.
Guest 4
Www.gitpod.0/roadmap.
Guest 4
Right? And,
Guest 3
Yeah. I so how you,
Guest 3
with myself and sending it to the Slack and hoping someone joins. But yeah. Okay. That's cool.
Scott Tolinski
centered not having to worry about your computer being a a total beast, which, like, let's face it.
Wes Bos
1 question I had, and I think I might know the answer to this, is, CS. Do the developers of Gitpod use Gitpod, entertainment center in the car, but also just, like, for sunglasses as well. And, Like, years ago, my dad had a really good one that would just get the your glasses like 4 k. It was amazing. Yeah. And I've I could never find a good enough one. And Finally, I tried these the one that are called the whoosh cloths,
Scott Tolinski
dot app.
Scott Tolinski
There's an app I recently saw that I'm I'm just gonna throw out there that might be a good companion app,
Guest 3
I feel like that's a feature request. That sounds amazing. Doesn't it, Jeff? Like having some way to talk to each other in that one workspace,
Guest 3
you can share it on so once you get on your when you open up a workspace, it. You have a URL,
Guest 4
If you're running your own status company,
Guest 3
but currently
Guest 3
They're
Guest 4
the idea of, like, Collab tools, very interesting, very compelling, Sick pick.
Guest 4
It's That's awesome. We're right now, we're looking at building really good engineering primitives that compose well.
Guest 4
Like, it's
Scott Tolinski
And our I noticed there were some, like, pair programming features, and then that that And
Guest 3
can then start editing files,
Guest 3
that you can you can share. And if you, like, click,
Guest 4
So, yeah, Gitpod builds Gitpod with Gitpod.
Scott Tolinski
multiple workspaces. That seems like a lot of flexibility for this type of thing.
Scott Tolinski
If Wes was my team member working on his code base
Guest 4
almost under a year here,
Pauline helped a Gitpod user debug their workspace on her phone while traveling
Guest 4
The Gitpod is you click on the link to review a pull request, and then you just and you do your work, and then you close the browser tab or you close the session, and then you open a new workspace. It. So it's like a task based.
Wes Bos
like, Versus Code themselves
Guest 4
So the idea there is that you click on a link to review the work, and it's pre compiled and pre ready to go. And then you just hop to context. There's no bringing code locally or updating your local state. It's all sandboxed on a per context basis. Wow. That's really cool.
Wes Bos
you are running a virtual machine here. CS. The UI is the browser, and then the the computer part is, for a while
Wes Bos
Man. So you guys have Versus Code running in the browser,
Wes Bos
which
Guest 4
pod. Like, Gitpod is actually a Kubernetes
Wes Bos
because, like, obviously, Versus Code is is written in electrons, written in written in web tech, but, in this whole web three idea of, like, Like, I I always think like, oh, yeah. You could lots of different crypto myself, and I'm holding it just because, like, what what if? You know? What if? Yeah. I also have been accepting crypto since 2012,
Guest 4
So you provide us a Docker, Dockerfile,
Wes Bos
hasn't even implemented
Wes Bos
as much as you have. Like you by looking at the website you have, all the extensions are working,
Guest 4
and we call them, ghost or pre warmed workspaces. So that way, when you click a link, It changes the owner. We run our own custom schedule in the background for Kubernetes. So you click that link, and then the workspace just starts up. And there's some actually cool things, especially when you get out of the web dev scenarios, there's a published extensions repository,
Guest 4
where you can actually pre build the environment. Like, so if you got, like, a rust project, that's it's
Guest 4
with that with that Docker with that Dockerfile. So we a Pre start up a workspace
Guest 4
We're talking about scenarios where it's, like, pre compiled. All the independent dependencies are down. And so if you're hopping between a pull request so the typical workflow typically,
Guest 4
and we will schedule a workspace Oh, no yammer. Yeah. No yamil.com.
Guest 4
it. How it works is Gitpod is a play on the words, Because,
Wes Bos
Can you this is a question we get all the time on the podcast, and neither Scott nor I are, I'll let you guys introduce yourselves and say your last names so I won't, Emmet is built in. I'm trying to think of, like, what are the other
Guest 3
I clicked that link, and I helped them debug
Guest 4
and without, without without any ownership, it. Like, the cost of gases in Gueye has gone up. Mhmm. But it was calculated So if this becomes does become a thing, I'm g huntley dot
Guest 3
a the issue from my phone. Oh, man. So, so this is my phone. This is a podcast. You can't see it, but I have a, a iPhone 13,
Guest 3
and I just had it on my phone. I had it on landscape mode. I had Safari open, and I was just helping them on my phone. Oh, man. This is Yeah. Lowers your mind.
Wes Bos
is the Docker container? Yeah. So,
Thoughts on blockchain technology and the concept of web3
Guest 4
And then if you wanna join the community, you buy the token. Then from that point forward, everyone is essentially a founder in the community, is a founder.
Guest 4
I think it's very important to reserve your identity.
Guest 4
It it's a really hard there's a lot of money in this space.
Guest 4
such as, like, being able to see that you go to this gas station every day, And everyone in the world can read that. Like, that is completely the the company is growing, and it's changing, and it's getting so much better. Like, I think it. Looking at, like, tea, And they're now just speaking is a huge thing. It. There's there are many options.
Guest 4
Everyone they try and speak with, they hold a large amount of crypto offerings, and
Guest 4
So, like, in the Kubernetes space, you're a runtime engineer or you you like Golang, TypeScript, and all those fun things. We hire it. Anywhere, like I mean, anywhere. I'm normally in a state forest somewhere
Guest 4
The communities are different.
Guest 4
Yeah. What happens when the entire world can read what you're doing? It's not just Facebook.
Guest 4
You you issue, say, tokens.
Guest 4
who are neutral.
Guest 4
So there's Yeah. There's some things that need solving.
Guest 4
The community needs to regulate itself before it gets regulated. I had government regulators contact me when they seen the NFT bait. They can't find people
Scott Tolinski
The the pros the pros and, again, everybody's
Scott Tolinski
I I you know, you had to invoice me for some money, extra your money now so that you could invoice me for the work that we did on syntax.
Guest 4
of both sides attacking each other. Try and find center and and common ground And figure out what this is. Hey, Wes. Let's say you got wrapped up in a crypto scam, and then I need, So Oh, okay. Think about doing software development essentially via So yes.
Guest 4
Whereas what we're pushing out on blockchain is, like, essentially, everything is open. Like, everyone can see that you if if we reach the utopia of, like, All transactions are on the blockchain, then all of a sudden, what happens when you get topics Gitpod itself is open source. We're an open source product very similar to GitLab.
Scott Tolinski
Just outright kind of scammy or kind of obviously like MLME kind of that same sort of I mean, we just watched that Lularoe documentary that was it. Very very similar vibes to some crypto scams that you see, so yeah. Yeah. So,
Guest 4
speaking with the editors of The Verge, and they were making the analogy that it's kinda like a homeowners association from that point forward. Like, the it. Dynamics, the community changes. Yeah. Everyone's financially incentivized to maximize, There's a disconnect. A lot of people buying the NFTs, think they're buying the art, but really, they're all they're buying is the image SRC equals, and that could be a picture of a rug.
Wes Bos
How how would you do that? FreshBooks is the cloud accounting solution for your small business, for your big business. If you are it. Entrepreneur of any type and need to send out invoices. You need to do your accounting. You need to log all of your expenses, categorize them into it. All the different types. Check it out. Freshbooks.comforward/syntax.
Wes Bos
You're gonna get paid faster when you use it. Make sure you use syntax in the how did you hear about it section. Thank you FreshBooks for sponsoring. Someone created an NFT of the NFT Bay, and they made, like, $17,000
Guest 4
And, You could run it on Linode. Actually,
Guest 4
I'm not saying there's no utility. I, myself, I went out it. And grabbed a ENS domain.
Guest 4
They're using a different identity for different contexts.
Wes Bos
trying to get you in so that they can cash out on it. That's at least my Viewpoint of it. And I'm sure I I hate I hate talking about crypto and anything like that because all of the the terminal works, and I assume that's part of the Docker container is that
Scott Tolinski
just angry about it either way, and that does it makes it hard to get to the The real picture of, like, what is the actual situation like you were saying, Wes. You're not gonna you're not gonna miss it. And so many of those approaches can feel
Guest 4
they're seeing some really brazen and your office is wherever there's a good view and there's good vibes.
Guest 4
and it's something people might wanna consider. That's the first thing in utility I've seen is, owning your own energy online on the blockchain.
Guest 4
scamming happening on Twitter spaces within the NFT space. So it's either they start regulating their community or they will get regulated. Regulators are looking. To that, Team collaboration
Wes Bos
That's cool. I I I think I kinda feel the same way as well is that
Guest 4
something I find fascinating in this space Is, if you look at how the younger generations are using social media and using their devices, they're very compartmentalized.
Wes Bos
I am not against it. A lot of it seems silly, and I don't understand a lot of it, but it. I also am sort of just sitting and watching. And what I don't like about it is that there's a lot of people have urgency to not miss it. It. And, like, if this is gonna be the next big thing for web development and applications, then it's not gonna be something that we're gonna miss. It's gonna be this well well established thing that we can all go ahead and use. And I think the people that are have urgency are
Guest 4
different to how the generations are using technology, and we're talking about Yeah. I don't even wanna use Facebook because my uncle's on it. It.
Guest 4
It could be, but there are issues. Because, Yeah.
Guest 4
I I've gone through the early Internet days. I see a lot of things that are very interesting.
Gitpod runs developers' code in cloud-hosted Docker containers
Scott Tolinski
in a cloud environment somewhere, or is that running in browser, so to say? Yeah. So, Gitpod is essentially a developer a developer environment in the cloud.
Guest 4
the NFT Bay launched, And I just hacked together on an iPad, There's like 6 Internet connections and a green screen on wheels. It's pretty cool.
Guest 4
I went to reinstall my computer,
Scott Tolinski
you're also,
Guest 4
but, like, I I don't really have the resources. I'm like, well, you contact it. Me, I'm I'm gonna hook you up with a couple months of Gitpod. From that point forward, there's no excuse. And then I hooked him up with with a coworker,
Guest 4
45 days,
Guest 4
mobile app. So we're for we're currently going for the approval process right now for an Apple developer account,
Guest 4
And myself, I'm working on a,
Guest 4
just like standard industry standard Dockerfile, and we'll host and run it. And from that point forward, we provide a default experience of Versus Code.
Guest 4
iPad, and all the rest. There are there are some things that are, like like because this is so
Scott Tolinski
and it's just a Docker container in the cloud And work from anywhere. Wow. Yeah. So your your your own machine isn't going to be taxed with
Guest 4
He goes like, I'm getting into software development. I wanna be a software developer,
Guest 4
because I am full time on an iPad.
Guest 4
And previously, it wasn't possible,
Guest 4
Right? But at the same time, this is so new
Guest 4
native app, things like topics of, SSH
Guest 4
So provide us a Dockerfile,
Guest 3
and things are moving so fast. It's just it's it's just amazing what's coming down. Yeah. And I think it's also worth bearing in mind just Because we're throwing stories out there. The other day, I had to go to London,
Guest 4
MacBook Pro. It's like It's it's not like, it's not like like a van down by the river. No. I'm talking about, like
Guest 4
There's some stuff coming down the pipeline right now in a private beta for JetBrains.
Guest 4
together, like, some programming resources that aren't in English. And, like, it's like so it's absolutely no excuse. Like, go change your life. Like, there's the barrier for entry.
Guest 4
Bring whatever tools you like, I only in I ended up cashing out with $1,000 because I had to pay $300 to accept the offer to buy for 1300
Guest 4
You don't need to get yourself a, like, a $3,000
Guest 4
Like, there are sometimes there is some things that aren't so great.
Guest 4
and I bricked it. Yeah. And I had no choice. It. So right now, it's now working.
Guest 4
so cutting edge.
Guest 4
Yeah. For the for the last it. For the last It's there. There's I well, like, out of all the ID tooling, JetBrains made Announcements today, like Mhmm. I think it's, like, 78%
Guest 4
Safari extensions coming out the pipeline, minted onto the blockchain, or you you run workshops? like, going for a walk or a trail and you have a laptop and you you can now work remotely, get yourself some USB battery packs, get yourself a Helenox chair, get yourself sunshade,
Scott Tolinski
Modern web development does kind of require it. A certain spec level of computer that is definitely not accessible to everyone. Well, I'll give you a good example.
Guest 4
Chromebook,
Discussion about the types of developers using Gitpod
Guest 3
and we have
Guest 3
again, like boot camps.
Guest 3
MacBook Pro or whatever it is. And we have quite a few, experienced,
Guest 4
You're you're doing fine. Like, but because, essentially, I just need as much bandwidth as SSH.
Guest 3
We've seen,
Guest 3
devs.
Wes Bos
CSUN. Oh, we got contacts there. Oh, yeah. You know? Sweet.
Guest 3
from that group, Jeff? I feel like I went. All developers have used Gitpod at some point.
Guest 3
I think Jeff can also jump in. It. I think Jeff can also jump in because I I started, like, disclaimer, like, 4, 5 months ago. So I didn't see it from the, like, very beginning. It. But from the last few months of, of me, like,
Guest 4
Gitpod is open source For open source maintainers, Helinox do these it. Hiking chairs. They're super lightweight,
Guest 3
all sorts with Gitpod. And I think that's the beauty of it. We have like it. So we have a Discord community, and we have a list of all of these, like, different languages that people can then join the channels and discuss how they Set up the, like, developer environment on Gitpod for that specific language.
Guest 4
Actually,
Guest 4
And so they're like, yeah. We we want Gitpod. We got a solution for the rest of the company that's Citrix, But for our software developers, this Gitpod. Interesting. I have a lot of questions about your your team stuff because I I know we got into a little bit about that briefly.
Guest 4
all thin client scenarios.
Guest 4
pick up the phone. I'll probably be calling you Yeah. Gitpod builds Gitpod with Gitpod. Yes. So if we break Gitpod
Guest 3
jump on board too.
Guest 4
We're seeing a lot of interest in enterprise. People are getting sick of Citrix VDI type things.
Wes Bos
who do you see is the,
Wes Bos
Do you see, like, a lot of boot camp students, or do you see a lot of, like, YouTube tutorial takers, or microfiber cloth for especially, like, For your phone and for the kids' iPads and and for the, is impressive,
Guest 4
developing Citrix,
Guest 3
how they can leverage Gitpod for their sort of education.
Guest 3
We have, students,
Guest 3
I've seen people use
Guest 4
great technology. It's designed to make sysadmins happy.
Guest 4
onboarding open source contributors is really hard, typically.
Guest 3
I I would say I I I guess I can, like, say this as well, but,
Guest 3
quite a few teams like Use and adopt Gitpod as well.
Guest 3
yeah, I've seen some boot camp grads,
Guest 4
And they can't install Docker.
Guest 3
Docker,
Guest 4
So, yeah, we're seeing a lot of interest in open source and open source communities because,
Guest 3
self hosted.
Guest 4
US It's really complicated.
Guest 3
Because you could use Gitpod for we have a SaaS offering
Guest 4
fund to support open source maintainers.
Guest 3
We've seen some more enterprisey,
Guest 3
some people who just started learning how to code,
Guest 4
We have got some really cool things going on. Like, we, like, I started a program for the Gitpod Sustainability If we if we we're honest about VDI. VDI was to spark joy for sysadmins.
Wes Bos
is there a specific, like, a type of developer you see gravitating, even, like, language specific? Oh, that's a really good question.
Guest 3
More of the like Kubernetes,
Guest 4
So we're seeing a lot of interest in the open source communities.
Guest 4
When you have been able to say, take the contributing dot MD and just reduce it down to just it. Click on this button. Yeah. You're able to do contribution a lot more.
Guest 4
remote desktop, when you form a community in the web three space, it brings out the worst people on Twitter that have opinions, and I I just get slammed at the time. You can see my DM inbox. You should see my inbox. It is it is, is a dumpster fire right now. Yeah. It's divisive on both ends.
Guest 3
But also
Guest 4
We're an open call product. You can run it on your own infrastructure.
Guest 4
for everyone else, it's 50 hours a month for free.
Wes Bos
like, the early users or the heavy users of Gitpod right now. Like, I'm I'm curious.
Guest 3
And, honestly, it it ranges from front end stuff,
Guest 3
taking care of the community, we've seen all sorts of developers.
Guest 3
It. Oh, I like that. This matter topicly.
Scott Tolinski
in Slack. So if Wes opens that up, he's seeing my development
Guest 3
We also have like, more experienced developers too. So people who have, like, years of experience who are sort of the I don't want I guess you could call them like forward thinkers. The people who are like, oh, this is this is a thing that I can I can just code from it? A very thin client. I don't need a super high spec,
Guest 4
But Oh, man. Yeah. I mean, like, no axe there are no admin access to your computer and all that stuff. So
Guest 3
In terms of like language,
Guest 4
Citrix and all the rest, primitives. So
Guest 4
Virtual desktop infrastructure.
Guest 3
So, yeah, that's been interesting. Mostly from, the finance and banking world, which is, Again, very interesting to to see. But, yeah, any any did I miss anyone like, a long think about this. Like, What is the thing I've been talking to everybody I know about?
Guest 3
and, you know, asking
Guest 4
Gitpod is about making all the developers it. You let you get full control of your local environment. So we're seeing a lot of people where they've got, like like, tens of thousands of software developers
Guest 3
CS. Teams
Guest 3
from various different, like, educational,
Guest 4
A lot of people do What is VDI? You can do anything at zombo.com.
Guest 3
So
Guest 3
yeah. It's it's a it's a vast Majority of just different people. Oh, also I forgot to mention teams. We've also seen
Scott Tolinski
So it seems like there's a bunch of, like, team collaboration tools. And so I just sent Wes. So I fired up the link that I did, And I I send Wes a a URL,
Scott Tolinski
a long string of link. I send that to Wes. That's that's my development environment.
Shameless plugs for podcast hosts' products
Guest 4
people are willing to put up with this pain and, like, putting out we're, like, passing that you speak, stick around the workshop that's that's dodgy.
Guest 4
it. You'll find a blog post, and it essentially explains, like, people should be able to learn anywhere from any device. Like, they it. They should be able to work up turn up to your workshop on an iPad the max I, like, I've always heard nothing.
Guest 3
We also have a, newsletter called DevEx Digest. So you can subscribe to that, CS. On gitpod dot io, sort of things as well.
Guest 4
Yeah. If you're doing anything
Guest 3
It's just a place for you to learn, cool fabric that generates heat from your body so you keep warm.
Scott Tolinski
Head on over to syntax.fm
Guest 4
this is The, Fund, which is initially a $30,000 Like, we get people running operating systems and CPU development it. In a Docker in a Docker file, and that's running in Gitpod, and then you're using a normal Unix pod.
Guest 3
community on Discord, so gitpod.io/,
Guest 3
slash, I think,
Guest 4
of all the ideas soon will have a cloud based offering. Like, and you can get yourself a, Try and find center. Don't don't outward reject it, because then you get into tribalism thinking about it. I might yeah.
Scott Tolinski
And don't forget to subscribe in your podcast player or drop a review if you like this show.
Guest 4
I wanna speak with you.
Guest 4
or some of my thoughts on where the soft the software development for an iPad or where Industry might go with this remote cloud based development.
Wes Bos
Awesome. Cool. Well, thank you for so much for coming on, especially for staying up so late to talk to us.
Guest 4
or a Chromebook, what else have you. So it's it's a personal tale. That blog post There you'll find as a personal tale when I was delivering a workshop,
Guest 4
CTOs don't need to get evil eyes from CFOs about fleet managing, like, $8,000 laptops,
Wes Bos
I'm sure you're ready for bed now, But I appreciate you coming Oh my gosh.
Wes Bos
on, and, our guests. We have Pauline and Jeff.
Guest 4
and we'll see what we can do to make easier for you people to learn Gitpod.
Guest 3
blog. I mean, there's a newsletter link there.
Guest 4
Nice.
Guest 3
podcast with my colleague, Mike Nichols.
Wes Bos
Yeah. That's that's it.
Guest 3
to the cloud, and we're more than happy to help out with that. So, yeah, That's my shameless plug.
Guest 3
So we're Yes. We did. Okay. I'll kick I'll kick us off then. Okay. My sick pic, I really had,
Guest 3
just 1 if you if you have listened to this episode and really
Guest 4
So
Guest 4
And, final plug is, my personal website is ghuntley.com.
Guest 3
Thank you. Thanks for having us.
Guest 3
chat.
Scott Tolinski
for a a full archive of all of our shows.
Guest 4
A rapidly changing place. And in a couple years,
Guest 3
And also, So
Guest 4
and people turned up with a Chromebook, and they had to install an operating system, and now they're doing a workshop on operating system.
Guest 3
and, you know, us. Share your learnings on using Gitpod or getting set up with Gitpod and moving your local dev environment
Guest 4
Like, The only reason they're willing to do this is because they wanna learn. Right? But that's they don't need to do that. Like, we can actually reduce workshops down into, like, here's the link. Start learning.
Guest 3
diving into the ins and outs of developer experience, What it is and why it's important.
Guest 3
my new developer No. It's okay. That's good. It was clear. I think, yeah, correct me if I'm wrong here, Jeff, but I think
Guest 4
If you wanna read about, like, a really awesome Internet connection, how it. All of that all those Internet links all configured
Scott Tolinski
Awesome.
Guest 4
to do with education,
Guest 4
please so I wouldn't be surprised if, our road map is open.
Guest 4
See you. Thank you. Peace. Been wholesome. Peace. Peace.
Guest 4
and then just, like, he's just a thin client. Sick.
Gitpod allows developers to code from any browser without needing a high-spec computer
Guest 3
interest towards learning how to code. And I've shown him Gitpod, and I've said, you can literally code from your iPad. You you don't need a computer. You don't need to ask, like, mom and dad for, a Like, a MacBook or a a whatever it is. You can just code from your iPad, and Gitpod
Guest 3
Described it the other day as a computer
Guest 3
And he's recently you know,
Guest 3
browser.
Scott Tolinski
Are are the if you're running, like, in an environment, is that running
Guest 3
you know, kids these days with their Ipads because my younger brother has an iPad. He's always had an iPad since he was, like, five.
Guest 3
expressed, like,
Guest 3
in every
Guest 3
And genuinely,
Guest 3
just lets that happen. You all you need is a browser. So so, So, yes, really exciting where we're heading. Yeah. And and it's really interesting too because what the the tools, they they all run-in browser or
Guest 3
that is it. I think Jeff,
Gitpod builds Gitpod using Gitpod with Golang and TypeScript
Wes Bos
sure. So I did it, and it was really simple. I just had to, like, claim claim my name space, and and I I don't have See it. I publish it every time I don't think,
Scott Tolinski
could be better
Guest 4
1, if you're producing,
Guest 4
Happy to run you through how to publish there. It's all about an open ecosystem for Versus Code. Totally.
Guest 3
from marketplace. Yeah. So you would have to do that.
Wes Bos
So pretty simple thing. If anyone does have a theme, make sure you push it because
Guest 3
extension
Scott Tolinski
is not my development environment anymore. It's the Versus code that's in the browser. Do you have any, like
Wes Bos
Now I understand what that is for.
Guest 3
And see if
Scott Tolinski
big Oh, no. I I use some some boutique extensions here. I'm gonna have to it. Just go about
Scott Tolinski
is not something I've heard of before today. I know, Wes, you have, but I think a lot of people would probably be, excited to see that this exists, and yeah. Cool. You know, what else is hosted in the cloud, Wes? I do. What is this, Scott?
Wes Bos
to it. It was pretty simple to do.
Guest 4
So if you're using things like Versus CX podium, which is a Visual Studio Code, but open source, you can't actually connect to the marketplace.
Guest 3
on Gitpod.
Guest 4
So when you use Versus Codeum, which is the open source build as a visual it. Your code or using new any of the these cloud offerings that come into market. They're actually using OpenBS code server. So, our partnerships. So, Leonode,
Scott Tolinski
The full selection here. But, yeah, the environment looks great, and it was really easy to get up and running just as we were talking here.
Scott Tolinski
And I have my own Versus code in the browser here, and that that took just a a couple of clicks to get that going. Right? Just a couple of clicks had to change the deploy command. But what I see instantly is that, like,
Guest 3
marketplace, which is like a like, description of what Gitpod is and what it allows, people to to get on. And I I like how you mentioned, experience,
Scott Tolinski
it.
Guest 3
using Gitpod and you want to,
Guest 4
between the marketplace. So you can download files between market places and sync files, but you can't direct connect, Visual Studio and non studio Visual Studio products to the marketplace. Interesting. Yeah. I I had to submit my own and they think that they're, like, it. Buying the art, but the art's on on the blockchain. In 2016, Alright. So, shameless plugs. Alright. So if you're potentially in DevRel, it was calculated and, like, people like, it. I'm a Vim user. People like Emax, etcetera.
Scott Tolinski
Yeah. And and we'll we'll link, we'll link that in the show notes too just so everyone can see it, because this honestly
Wes Bos
what it was.
Guest 3
Yeah. Yeah. So you'd have to find your, like, your themes, your extensions that you have locally
Scott Tolinski
is coming at this and saying, like, I'm on an iPad now, and I I'd really like to have a lot of my tools and extensions and whatever. Is there, like, a quick Wait to get up and running with normal Versus code. Is it just like the straight up Versus code settings sync stuff that you have before? Like, is it is it full on Versus code environment that you can utilize the same way as your desktop and and and sync your settings and get all everything, themes, and everything up and running.
Guest 3
A vendor neutral version of Versus Code's
Wes Bos
Yeah. I had to submit my theme to that.
Scott Tolinski
better known amongst authors because that'd be that'd be really great to have,
Wes Bos
Error lens is one that I use. Let's let's see if this one's available.
Scott Tolinski
I I I see that I can open this up in my local Versus code. But, like, let's say I I was a developer who,
Guest 3
so When you're a new developer and I still was working as I was out and about. And it. Someone pinged me from our community asking for some help with their workspace,
Guest 4
you will see,
Guest 4
and there's a MPX script. You just put in the the name of the extension, and it'll Send a pull request, and it'll we've got an automatic script that synchronizes
Wes Bos
Repo to that. And I at the time, I didn't understand
Guest 4
Thank you. Some back story. So, Gitpod is one of the creators of OpenVSX.
Guest 3
add all of your themes and extensions,
Guest 3
you actually have to install them again, Yeah. I wish I did. But, yeah, I didn't. That's my only regret. Well, yeah. I mean, Jeff, you get that all the time. Well, our guest was from Sunderland.
Guest 3
we we use, the OpenVSX of England, and it's super, super cold here at this it. Time of year. And I recently discovered the heat tech collection.
Scott Tolinski
Okay. Let's get it back to, Gitpod here. So I I just fired up a a Gitpod instance of my own personal website just Just to give it a try, which is actually, I don't know if it's or or whichever version of this thing it is, whatever branch I just loaded up, but it It fired up really, really quickly, and now I have my own sort of sandbox URL that I can have for development.
Wes Bos
I just had a bunch of people being like, hey, like, can you please get Cobalt 2 on this open VSX. I'm like,
Guest 4
people may not know that the Versus Code marketplace is proprietary.
Wes Bos
ESLint,
Scott Tolinski
That was a meandering question. Sorry.
Guest 4
and service.
Scott Tolinski
we have it on the marketplace and then install it from there. Yeah. Okay. So so then and then the the authors would have to submit to that As well, I think I think maybe that's something that,
Guest 4
Back before Gitpod was Gitpod, there was a company called Typefox.
Wes and Scott ask Jeff and Pauline to explain what Kubernetes is
Wes Bos
anywhere near being able to answer it is, what is Kubernetes.
Guest 4
But in our case, the community is the perfect case for we need a you're speaking with the person who's, looking at rolling out for marketing and
Guest 4
Right? You you don't need Kubernetes. You can do a lot of really cool things. We it. We actually know hardware these days.
Wes Bos
Are we is that a genuine question? Are we Yeah. Well, like like, I I kinda know what it is. Yeah. We know what it is. But, like, for people people on the podcast, they they're like, can you do a a podcast on what Kubernetes is and and everything? And it's like, it. Well, Scott and I, like like, I honestly don't even use Docker all that much, let alone,
Guest 4
Abstraction you use for software development and exposes primitives such as, like, on Twitter if you got any Any issues, concerns, Helenox chairs have sunshade, so you don't get reflection.
Guest 4
A lot of people do not need to use Kubernetes.
Wes Bos
what Kubernetes does. So Are either of you able to take a stab at explaining, like, what it is and and why someone might need it? I know it's not part of Gitpod, but I'd now that you're talking about it That that's Yeah. Go on, Jeff. Yeah. You I was gonna say you probably, can explain it a bit better than me because I'm still confused by how
Guest 4
solution that schedules work CS spaces, and you do your development in the workspace. So it it's it's good for building a platform. So for people like us, it's amazing. For you, you might not need it. Thank you for that.
Guest 4
is, it's a a platform. It's actually you could actually see it as an operating system that lifts the typical
Guest 4
it. Using a static HTML web page, which is just copy and paste essentially in, like, in notepad.
Guest 4
all the different things, it. And I work in the space, so, yeah, go ahead. 1st up, if you have to know about Kubernetes and you're using Gitpod, then we're failed. This is all hidden from you.
Guest 4
Is it time to do shameless plugs? I would are you also speaking to the person of no yammer.com?
Guest 4
orchestration and scheduling that your services are deployed and Exposes monitoring endpoints.
Jeff discusses NFTs, storing data on blockchains, and creating the NFT Bay
Guest 4
this is 2016. Things have changed now. There's different block sizes, a different a different,
Scott Tolinski
work like that. You know? The whole thing is fascinating.
Wes Bos
and did this hilarious I read I read the Readme which is that, like, NFTs are just hosted on Google Drive which is a web 2. So It. Some guy scraped all of the NFTs and put them up for free,
Scott Tolinski
distribute or whatever. I I think there's some interesting
Guest 4
and people are saying that the NFT and the art the art is on the blockchain.
Wes Bos
any good
Guest 4
What we see right now is a hack. So No. We don't have to do the face y approach. That was very fun, by the way.
Wes Bos
What did you do with the NFTs? trust.
Guest 4
Immutable JSON, like, the image SRC that points to a different web host.
Guest 4
I actually created NFT Bay as as huge joke,
Wes Bos
it's a financial stake or a book it to sell you or is it TikTok bro or something like that. And I just haven't haven't been able to find somebody who doesn't, like, it. Feel slimy to to talk to.
Guest 4
that's I I because I have a Google Docs. Photo bucket all over again. Oh, yeah. This is
Guest 4
Over to a, like, a web host. And at times, it's 4 mod cons, everything you need to be productive remotely, but I find myself just getting a
Guest 4
Yeah. A literal rug pull. So, I I thought it was really funny because
Guest 4
I hold no crypto offerings,
Guest 4
essentially a JSON contract Oh. So it's it's Oh, yeah. So Yeah.
Guest 4
It's a schema, which is essentially image SRC.
Guest 4
People are selling
Guest 4
that it was it'd be $76,000
Guest 4
per gigabyte stored in blockchain if you were to it. Store a JPEG,
Wes Bos
I'm still very skeptical sitting on the sidelines of it. Like, do you think that if there is any
Guest 4
people are selling computer programs, the NFTs, So what it is
Guest 4
like a gigabyte on the blockchain.
Guest 4
It's just a schema. The link? On the topic of neutrality,
Scott Tolinski
interesting aspects about, like, like, if you produce some art and let's say this art was actually on the block Then you could earn something every single time it was resold until infinity, but you're getting you're you're not actually
Guest 4
The contract if you imagine, like, a JSON blog field and there's a SRC field, and the s s the SRC field, that's, like, immutable on the blockchain, but it links
Scott Tolinski
that that image that somebody made that says you wouldn't steal or you wouldn't right click a photo site. Right? So I ran the development site. It gave me a link that's,
Guest 4
It's a hack.
Scott Tolinski
anything about NFTs is that,
Guest 4
but people are, like, They sell the NFT, and then they switch it out to, like, pictures of rugs, and they call it a rug pull.
Guest 4
and until recently,
Wes Bos
what is web 3 and and, like, what did it would be perfect.
Wes Bos
host a website on the blockchain and your style dot CSS would be in the blockchain. Your index dot HTML would be immutable and then You just deploy a new version, and no one could ever take it down and something like that. But, like, do you
Guest 4
or Google, Google Docs Or, like, some web 2 API service, which will go offline. So people are buying these JSON blobs, Like, you like, Pauline, what have you done recently? Like, you just like, you have a device, and you can work from anywhere. What have you done? Yeah. Like no. Absolutely. I think So like I mentioned, I was in London the other day, and I had to work, server,
Guest 4
CS. The and then some peep it's wild. People are, like, up because, like, it's immutable in the blockchain. The image SRC is
Scott Tolinski
My favorite,
Wes Bos
value to this type of thing. I don't know.
Guest 4
It. It's not.
Wes Bos
And then, like, I the other day, a couple days ago, I saw this thing. It blew up on Hacker News.
Scott Tolinski
you know, commercially my development environment
Wes Bos
given all that,
Scott Tolinski
You wouldn't right click a photo and save as. You wouldn't create a 20 terabyte
Guest 4
because I wanted to point out that, essentially,
Scott Tolinski
Or, you know, like, you wouldn't download a car, the you wouldn't steal this.
Scott Tolinski
And then they're not even buying the licensing for this thing, so they're not buying the ownership or licensing to,
Scott Tolinski
you're you damn it. The dart itself isn't on the blockchain just because it doesn't for this type of thing, it's called
Wes Bos
I know that's a big question, but, like, what the heck is going on? That's my Let's talk about impartiality.
Scott Tolinski
Oh my gosh. A literal rug pull. Yeah.
Scott Tolinski
or to right click save as, would you? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Because it's funny. What what you may have done.
Wes Bos
Question I have is do you think that there is any So we got lots of kinda interesting questions for them revolving around,
Discussion about living in a van and working remotely
Wes Bos
Are you the type of person who just loves
Guest 4
actually,
Guest 4
There's, like, 4. Today, I finished painting the back wall as a green screen, so it's a production studio on wheels.
Guest 4
and just sitting down there with a camping chair, I was like, yep, couple USB c battery packs, tether to the Internet.
Wes Bos
driving somewhere and you can put your head down and keep coding? So, unfortunately, because it's a podcast,
Guest 4
anyone who has a laptop, society is kinda now divided into, does not come with an escape key with an iPad.
Guest 4
6 Internet connections, soon 7 when Starlink arrives.
Guest 3
on the way from,
Wes Bos
from the north of England, so we were looking at a map for quite a while. Yeah.
Guest 4
that is my monitor that's about to go onto the van. It's a 48 inch TV.
Guest 4
Something fascinating about Internet
Wes Bos
Hold on. Let's see where that oh, yeah. That is that's even more north than me, and I'm from Canada. Oh, wow. Oh, man. That yeah. He, he said he lived in a pretty,
Guest 4
as Like, I noted the Internet There are some NFTs where the art is on the blockchain, but that that it. It's super rare. Like, most things are pointing to either something on Arweave or IPFS find me, say hello. It. I wanna catch up for beers just like this. The podcast's super chill, I'm here learning and being interested in being in trying to learn. Mhmm.
Guest 4
And then so I can be on Sketchy local I created that in a, well, after a few beers, I got, yeah, I was doing some Kubernetes work. That probably sum her up, some of my feelings in it.
Wes Bos
And I was always just like, yeah. It would be so much better if I could just run this whole laptop
Guest 3
using Git pods, coding Wow.
Wes Bos
when doing that type of thing because sometimes I think, like, yeah, that'd be nice. But then I try to, like, go to a coffee shop and work and I'm I'm not as productive as if I'm sitting at my Station.
Guest 3
remotely,
Wes Bos
Oh, he said it's it. It's just a it's just like an hour outside of Newcastle.
Wes Bos
some sorta endgame.
Guest 3
And and yeah. So I was in a car for, like, I think it was, like, 4, 5 hours, developers from, like, From anywhere, really, to get started with coding, all you really need is a browser.
Guest 4
People can't see this, but, Wes, and I actually had people contact me about that. And there was some person from Brazil.
Wes Bos
for a bit and guy that's into denim. And I just like, They have, like, salvaged denim that's, like, probably some of the cheapest salvaged denim you can buy. And I I was, like, alright. I'll try a pair. And
Wes Bos
It. So you are, like, totally remote. Usually, you are living out of a van and and being a coder. That's the dream.
Wes Bos
pretty industrial city, which is Yeah. Yeah. He was on specifically talking about JavaScript in industry.
Wes Bos
Many sketchy LTE connections that I'm trying to make work from rural area.
Guest 4
It.
Guest 4
But CS If you go to the iOS settings, you can actually remap caps log to escape. And then you're home free. Pro tip. A Pro tip. Pro tip. That's a good pro tip. There you go. Love it. You can you can plug any keyboard in. So it's it's an iPad. Any keyboard can go in. Even your old mechanical keyboard. And so do you have, like, a desk in your in your camper? Like, how do you stay productive We,
Guest 3
from from there. And I was actually working
Wes Bos
that's interesting. Yeah. That that's what we we did an entire episode on poor internet because I had been working from my cottage where I had like you many Let's move into some sick pics. You guy did you guys come ready with any sick pics for us? Oh, yes.
Guest 4
I'm connecting to a remote environment, and I've got I'm in the Google data center, and then I have a gigabit.
Wes Bos
Talk about the random stuff that popped up before the show.
Guest 4
So, So I've been dogfooding this in the last 45 days, and I realized, yeah, we we need a mobile app. Nice. We need a Like, Like, if we're honest to you, people
Guest 4
like, I've got myself a a camping chair, and it's got a sunshade and everything. And then it's just, like, it. Finding somewhere beautiful Error lens. Well, that's the thing. If, if you see something's missing, well, just speak with us. Right?
Wes Bos
can you do a a podcast on web 3? And, like, Scott and I, we kinda we know a little bit here and there, and we've been sort of following it. But it it seems like every single person that, like, we could possibly talk to it. About what web 3 is has some sorta
Guest 3
like, 5 g.
Guest 4
and, and it actually is really good. Like, it. If I I can be on Internet that's so sketchy that I would not be route be able to run NPM install, camping.
Guest 4
there's, like, a kilowatt van. Us. Yeah. There's a kilowatt of solar on the roof. There's, air conditioning.
Guest 3
just working
Guest 3
inside the car
Guest 4
And I'm just traveling around Australia in a van working remotely. And,
Guest 3
Oh, I don't know where that is.
Guest 4
like, it's possible.
Guest 4
like, those who can work remotely and those who cannot.
Wes Bos
in the cloud somewhere that has fast Internet, and then I just, Yeah. Just SSH. Just just send me the
Guest 3
us. Using my iPad mini and a keyboard,
Wes Bos
So when you joined the call, you were standing in front of a bunch of SAWS, and he said, yeah. My van is over there. And that reasonably got West very excited because standing in front of a bunch of tools in the van yeah.
Guest 4
Mhmm. Mhmm. Yeah. Like like, if you can work remotely, you you should. Like
Wes Bos
Alright. So another question
Guest 3
Okay. He's way more north than me. It's colder up there.
Guest 3
us. From London to the north of England in Leeds. Mhmm. People don't know where that is. So, like, us. Up there. Up in the north of Oh, yeah. Area. Yeah. Our last guest was from,
Guest 4
There's,
Wes Bos
From just outside of the bits that are changing on the screen instead of the actual
Guest 3
is where I live.
Wes Bos
CS Oh, yeah. Or 4 g or whatever enabled. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I wish I did.
Guest 3
us. In a in a in a small car. And I'm sure that's like What were you using for Internet? Were you using, like, an a satellite or, LTE? I I have five g. Yeah. A 5 g. Yeah. On my phone. Yeah. It up. Yep. Yeah. Exactly. Unlimited as well. So it just it just Exactly. A no brainer. It's amazing. I think that's just where we're all, like, Heading towards you know, my only regret is not getting an iPad mini with, That's how you described it or something like that, Which is so which is spot on. I think that is a really good,
Wes Bos
we have all the time is can you do a,
Guest 3
Sunderland.
Guest 3
On my iPad mini with a keyboard
Guest 4
I think it could be remote.
Sharing some "sick picks" - product recommendations
Guest 3
And for those listening who don't know what that is, it's essentially like a really
Wes Bos
And I've I've never found, like, a really good
Guest 4
I guess if we could do a second sick buck pick, Like, I Really? If you Google Gitpod workshops as code, So we're seeing a lot of issues. On Linode?
Scott Tolinski
creator Amy Kaepernick has done a course on accessibility for everyone here, and it's awesome. Amy is fantastic,
Scott Tolinski
But Oh, okay. That have Maybe I haven't done the TV yet. Handprint. So, I mean, that was, like, a straight up handprint on the TV.
Guest 3
But now I've tried it for over a month. I can say that it actually has kept me warm.
Guest 4
Helenox chairs. Awesome. A lightweight.
Guest 3
this brand called Uniqlo, if you've heard of it. Yes. It. I love you, UK.
Wes Bos
Yeah. Take it. Yep. Yeah. I mean, the being able to use all and I just took a quick look. All the extensions that I use, Prettier,
Scott Tolinski
A podcast about, like, a,
Scott Tolinski
Terrifying modern modern tech kind of story. You know, like, what kind of catfishing lengths are being done today and and,
Guest 4
We're back in time now. There we go. Or is this is this web 3. We we can't talk about the future without acknowledging where we come from. You can do anything at slongo.com.
Scott Tolinski
Zombo.com.
Guest 4
It. It's $100 for the sunshade. I like I I think that's too much, but it means you because the problem is you normally find something that is good,
Scott Tolinski
This is gonna be a perfect type of soccer chair for me. This is gonna be it. Oh, yeah. Nice little soccer chair. Soccer dad, soccer mom chair. You know, I'll take it. These are nice.
Guest 3
So, I feel like I don't have to use,
Wes Bos
in, 1 in the car and 1 with your glass your sunglasses, and you and you're good to go. So check them out. Whoosh gloves. That's, like, 10 times the value of an of an apple cloth, so that's great value. Yeah.
Wes Bos
Alright. Oh, yes. Yeah.
Guest 3
Great. Okay. You. So the reason I love I I discovered them recently. The reason I love them is I live in the north,
Wes Bos
You guys have any shameless plugs? Yeah. Go for it. Yes. Yeah. So I'm going to shamelessly plug,
Wes Bos
I have like, I'm a huge
Scott Tolinski
Yeah. That's a that's a good point.

Guest 4
Helinox.
Wes Bos
A bunch a bunch of people are like, why didn't you it. The Apple Clothos. I didn't buy the Apple Cloth. It came with Oh, you have it? Yeah. I I have the Apple Cloth. I didn't buy it, though. It came with your monitor? Yeah. It came with the monitor. Okay. That you should get. I was like, don't wanna get mugged. Imagine just walking down the street with an apple cloth. This thing is for sure. It's like it's like the weighted blankets of cloths. I I I feel like it. It's just super heavy duty. Oh, what a flex. It's like a $40 cloth. Yeah.
Guest 3
It's the best thing. So, yeah, tote that's my sick pick.
Scott Tolinski

Continued discussion about NFTs and blockchain technology
Guest 4
It. But here's the thing, Wes. Here's the thing. For me to sell that NFT, I had to pay $300 in transaction fees To get so someone offered me $1300.
Wes Bos
But, like, whenever I have to, like, move it, it's slow, there's a lot that I don't get either. So,
Wes Bos
we're we're watching the space.
Wes Bos
for a lot of my products. And that has I've just been holding on to that.
Guest 4
So Yeah. I made a NFT of the NFT, like, kind of recursive and sold that for $1300.
Wes Bos
Yeah. That that's another thing that doesn't make sense to me. Like, I I have, 40 gigs of npm install.
Wes Bos
And I had to pay a whole bunch of money. I was like, what? This doesn't and then whenever I talk about it, people are like, well, no. You're doing it wrong, or it's gonna change. And It also feels, like, dangerous because you're just it. Copying and pasting, like, an address and it could arrive or not or it could just disappear forever or who knows? Yeah. I don't know, man. It's, I I get it. I get it. Absolutely. But there's
Linode sponsors segment
Wes Bos
Next question. I think it's probably for Pauline is I'm curious, like,
Wes Bos
So if you have,
Wes Bos
A virtual private server with Linode. Linode. Yes. Linode is cloud computing developers to build Gitpod? And what happens if you break Gitpod when you're working on Git
Wes Bos
It's gonna get you $100 in free credit. Thank you, Linode, for sponsoring.
Wes Bos
to use a Linux server to host, hopefully, host a Docker image or host a node application or, it. Any of the products that Linode offers,
Wes Bos
We we can use Linode with it. So check it out. They're gonna give you a $100 in free credit To host your next application, go to linode.comforward/syntax.
Wes Bos
dedicated CPU, high memory GPU. They have Kubernetes. Now that we know what Kubernetes
Wes Bos
Alright.
LogRocket sponsors segment
Scott Tolinski
building something in the cloud or otherwise, you're gonna wanna have some sort of visibility into your errors and exceptions, and you're gonna wanna do this with a tool like LogRocket, which gives you actual visibility.
Scott Tolinski
We're talking about next generation tools on this episode. And for me, LogRocket really is one of those tools because it gives you a scrubbable video replay of your errors and exceptions as they happened, let's look at a map here. Yeah. Not yep. Not my not my, best area of knowledge here. It. Well, in yeah. The in Leeds, that's awesome. We got a couple Aussies here. So, yeah,
Scott Tolinski
So thank you to LogRocket for sponsoring. Alright. Let's, let's switch gears,
Scott Tolinski
to the user that they happen to. So that way you can see exactly how that 1 person clicked that one thing and broke that thing. You it. And actually see it all happen in real time. And like I said, in a scrubbable video replay, really, really is super great. So check it out at logrocket.comforward/syntax.
