 Hi, this is Stu Miniman with Wikibon, the cube on the ground here in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Thanks to friend of the cube, Matt Brender here bringing us in. This is some users, contributors, you know, members in the community ecosystem. A couple points, Matt, I want to say for summary for me, first of all, thanks for your help. You know, always love coming to Cambridge, you know, there's good food, good energy, lots of awesome tech. And you know, boy, I come out of this thinking. Number one is, it sounds like GitHub is at the center of the universe from a developer standpoint. Secondly, you know, it's really, we talk about there's the technology problems, then there's the operational problems. I always like to say there's also, you know, really talk about, you know, terminology. It's, you know, I come very much from an enterprise mindset, from an infrastructure mindset. And, you know, it's kind of the business down and, you know, everything you've been telling me today and hearing from people here, it's kind of the individual up. Absolutely. The developer world is very much from the bottom up, right? You were just speaking with people that they've formed a startup and startups had limited money. So they look for what's free and what can I stack together into a working application that can bring us to the next level. And then you have people that are contributing or using like tools that are open source from companies that are doing incredibly well like HachiCorp and Docker. And what's amazing is that these things are free and out there and they also are both code, the code is visible, but also the culture is visible, that it's a conversation in public all the time and your contributions are welcome. I definitely noticed that and I feel this myself that one of the most important elements is that when you find a problem, you can go fix it yourself. There's no line or really thick layers between you and the solution. And I think that's just very attractive to the engineering mindset that's both ops and development at heart. Yeah, and it's really it's not so much, you know, it had taken the old problems in just having a new way to fix it. It's new approaches, it's new applications. You know, I think back in a Moore's law was really what drove so much of infrastructure and it created things like public cloud services and just we have, you know, massive compute power talking about, you know, what compute is going to be able to do. You've got whole, you know, internet of things and centers that are going to change that, but it also creates this great new, you know, environment where new applications come out, you know, no sequel didn't come out just because the old database was bad. It's there's new applications, new models to help create that. Yeah, new needs create new tools. And the idea of fitting the tool to the problem and not just having a wide birth approach to a single tool set is really important to today. And part of that is about ease of use. So while we're not reinventing anything new, I mean, Git has been out for a number of years. What's amazing is actually the tool set around it and get hub as a place that nerds can congregate and download code or contribute code back and get as like the Langua Franca that allows us all to be able to, you know, go fix your own problems. Yeah, it's interesting because you say it's not necessarily new, but if we talk, you know, in people's careers and in IT, it's like, oh, how long ago? Oh, we've been doing this like three years. Oh, that's like lifetimes. It's like, look, I've been in my current job for five years. Most people I know, you know, especially kind of the younger millennials, they've usually been in two different jobs at least in those five years, you know, five years of the second longest I've ever been at a company. So, you know, you talked to a lot of people talk about their careers, that nonlinear movement. I mean, you know, boy, it's a little tiring sometimes to say, how do I keep up with this? How do the thing I learned today next year is going to be the old thing. Right, and I echo that for eternity, honestly. It's a little too much right now to be very honest that as you talk to people about building skill sets, I think the only skill that is certain to stay with you is the ability to learn new skills. So, like, no matter what you're an expert in in technology stack right now, yes, you could probably still get a job for it in a few years, but it's pretty much going to be less relevant, if not irrelevant within a few years after that. And that's overwhelming, right? We all need to keep up and keep going. So, I think breaking these down to smaller problems. Like, what are you actually trying to get out of open source and what are you giving back to others in open source? And if you can get down to those two simple equations, it's all a little less overwhelming. Yeah, so it's interesting. My, the team just kind of interviewed with John Cleese from Monty Python, and he was asking a question about like, oh, you're almost a futurist today. You're looking for it. He's like, the future, I have no belief in the future. I'm living in the past and I'm not so happy with the present. Why is a technologist, should we think otherwise, Matt? Well, I think they're, I like looking at what we're doing today and saying there's much more future ahead of us than there is behind us. Technology has been around as such a baked in part of our society for only a couple of generations now. And it's only getting easier for anyone to go from any sort of degree or any sort of hobby into developing something that's truly fascinating to a group of people and affecting people at scale. And when you see that opportunity to connect with people and really affect them through code, it makes it no longer like, am I an ops or a dev or am I from enterprise IT or a startup? It's all about like, am I doing something that's affecting people in a positive way? Yeah, so I was lucky to be at an event with the MIT Sloan School. In London recently, it was Eric Bunyolson and Andy McAfee who teach Sloan School not far from here and talked about the second machine age and their earlier ebook was actually racing with the machine and you can try to fight the technology but the Luddites found out long ago that that's not gonna work, technology is gonna keep going. We need to look for those opportunities where we can work with the technology, take advantage of it and there's great opportunities. And there's so many personal stories in this. Like there's no abstraction, there's no yes business is seeing value, yes venture capitalists are absolutely hunting down people that are good at this. But that aside, if you think just personally, each and every one of us, there's an opportunity for all of us to develop skills, develop both technical skills and communication skills that will go with us going forward no matter how irrelevant our code is in a few years. All right, so Matt, if people wanna find you, where are you on Git, where are you gonna be in person? Where should they find you online? I would love to talk to you about Git, especially if you're new to it and looking for some help. So I am MJ Brenda on all platforms I could be on, that's Twitter, LinkedIn, GitHub and many of the other sites that you will be a part of. And also there's, I did a session on the brown bag actually about introduction to Git and what it's like to kind of crumble your way into it as I did myself not long ago. So definitely recommend taking a look at that and happy to help, you can always sweet me. Yeah, and of course on iTunes you can find the geek whispers which is your part of, shout out to, John Troyer and Amy Lewis on this and Basho, you're doing some of the meetups. Is there a specific series of meetups that you're involved in or just in general? We have a passionate group of engineers, academics and developers that are surrounded as part of the React community behind Basho. So if you're interested in Basho look for React meetups in your local area, we're particularly running in Boston and San Francisco, New York and across the United States from there. And then our GitHub, we have Basho Labs which is all our public contribution that are all community oriented projects and then the Basho organization where you can open a pull request against our core source code right now. All right, well Matt, thank you so much for all your help today bringing in some of the community, really appreciate it. Great warm up for our audience because theCUBE is gonna be coming out so lots of enterprise shows here in 2015. We've got the OpenStack Summit in Vancouver, we've got DockerCon in San Francisco, one of the technology that came up a lot of times here. We'll be back here in Boston, the end of June for Red Hat Summit and so check siliconangle.tv to be able to find all the videos. I'm at Stu on Twitter with just STU, hit me up anytime with questions and let us know what events we should be at, who we should be talking to and we really love sharing all these stories with the community, so thanks so much for watching and connecting with us online.
