Transcript:
ADRIANA: Hey y'all, welcome to Geeking Out. The podcast about all geeky aspects of software delivery, DevOps, Observability, reliability, and everything in between. I'm your host Adriana Villela, coming to you from Toronto, Canada. And geeking out with me today is Marylia Gutierrez of Grafana. Welcome, Marylia. And where are you calling from today?
MARYLIA: I'm also from Toronto.
ADRIANA: Yay, Toronto! Super excited! I always get so excited when there are other Canadians, other Torontonians, and we've got the bonus because you're also Brazilians.
MARYLIA: In Toronto, yeah.
ADRIANA: That's right, Brazilians in Toronto. Okay, so before we get started with the meaty bits, we are going to start with the lightning round questions. Are you ready?
MARYLIA: I'm ready.
ADRIANA: Okay, first question. Are you a lefty or a righty?
MARYLIA: Righty.
ADRIANA: Do you prefer iPhone or Android?
MARYLIA: Android all the way.
ADRIANA: Do you prefer Mac, Linux, or windows?
MARYLIA: Probably Mac is what I've been using for several years for development. It would be hard to move away from it.
ADRIANA: Yeah, fair enough. What is your favorite programming language?
MARYLIA: So I'm kind of in splits between...I really like JavaScript. I think I work a lot with this, but after working with Go I also really enjoy it. So it's good that I also like being like full stack. So everything backend I try to focus on Go, anything front end I use JavaScript, so it's a little split there.
ADRIANA: That's awesome. Best of both worlds. Okay, next question. Do you prefer Dev or Ops?
MARYLIA: Dev. Yeah.
ADRIANA: Right, cool. JSON or YA
