Golang

I tweeted back at the start of April that I’m moving on from Canonical/Ubuntu.

Well, I left on April 30th, have had two weeks of ‘funemployment’, and today I start my new gig.

I’m now Developer Advocate for Telegraf at InfluxData, and I couldn’t be more excited! 🎉

Telegraf is an Open Source “agent for collecting, processing, aggregating, and writing metrics.”. I’ll be working with the Telegraf team and wider community of contributors. You’ll likely find me in the Telegraf GitHub and on the InfluxData Community Slack!

Last year ( 😄 ) I wrote an article called Snap Along With Me in which I detailed how I approached snapping a rust application called t-rec. Well, I’m back with another “Snap Along”, this time we’re snapping an application written in Golang.

During a meeting to on-board a new member of the team at work today, I went through a similar process as my last blog post. This time I chose a different application, so I thought I’d write it up here. I’ve previously explained how I browse the various GitHub Trending pages for each language. Today was no different, we browsed the trending rust projects then moved on to trending Go projects.
