Welcome to the On Lives podcast. Our special guest today is Julian Quirtel. Julian, I cannot believe I

finally got you on this show, man. You know, I've been I, you're on my timeline and I've been

wanted to talk to you like forever and we finally found a time to do that, man. This is awesome.

That's great. Thanks for inviting me. We actually met before we finally found a time to do that man this is awesome that's great thanks for inviting me

we actually met before we were on a panel at gophercon Europe last year but we only had a brief

encounter I think yeah it's very busy those conferences but yeah great. Actually, I'd like to take this opportunity.

I don't think I had the opportunity to thank you last year.

But thanks for everything you've done for the community.

Remember when I got into Go, go in action, your ultimate Go course were great resources for learning the language. So thank you. Oh man. I appreciate that.

No. And I do remember there were four of us up there doing that panel. I like those panels.

I like the impromptu stuff because then I don't feel guilty for not preparing.

Yeah, it's all of the car. That's horrible, right?

Yeah, man, it's like, it's like super easy.

Like, I tell most of these conferences, I'll be a backup in case like something happens

because like there's no stress in that, man.

Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, it was going to be at a, are you going to be at a GCEU?

No, I'm afraid not this year. I've got family family commitments. I won't be able to attend this year. Maybe next year. That's fair. There's three conferences I won't miss every year. The USA one. The London one and the Berlin one.

And I kind of get business out of those three.

So it's easy to justify it.

I didn't do the Italian.

The Singapore is this week, actually, the week of January 21st here.
