Full transcript:
Starr:
All right. So now you're going to joke about how, since I've been vaccinated...

Josh:
Are you saying you are vacc'ed?

Starr:
In vacc'ed. I'm chipped. I like to say I'm chipped.

Josh:
Got your injection.

Starr:
People always act like being chipped is a bad thing, but now if I wander off, people will be able to return me to my family.

Josh:
Yeah. And I don't know what the big deal is, everyone loves new technology. I don't know anyone who's been bummed out that some new tech came out.

Starr:
That's true.

Josh:
I don't know what the... Yeah.

Starr:
I can't tell you the number of times I've been watching WWC and just being like, "why can't you just inject this into my vein?"

Josh:
Right.

Starr:
And now they are, and everybody's mad about it. Make up your minds, people.

Ben:
Let's see, so Starr you just got number one. Josh had two and I will have number two in a week and change.

Josh:
Yeah. I should have full immunity and well, I know on our next podcast in a week, it's been a week. Yeah.

Ben:
It feels good.

Josh:
So I'm not going to be here next week.

Starr:
Yeah. You get full immunity. Josh. You don't get diplomatic immunity, so

Josh:
Oh, okay. That's good to know.

Starr:
Cool it there, don't go off and rob any banks or anything.

Ben:
Did you see the new space shuttle, Lego kit?

Ben:
It's very cool.

Ben:
Yeah, it's the kit that is from the mission that launched the Hubble telescope. So it includes a little Hubble telescope as part of the kit. And you can mount it by itself, like display it on the stand itself or put it in the shuttle bay, the cargo bay of the shuttle.

Josh:
That's awesome.

Starr:
Oh, that's really cool.

Josh:
Yeah. My, my kids aren't quite Lego age yet. As we were saying the other day, they... what is the other, what's the bigger version?

Ben:
Duplo.

Josh:
Yeah. With their Duplo age, but actually, they're getting. We'll be getting Legos soon.

Ben:
Yeah. It's fun for the whole family.

Josh:
Yeah. It's going to be fun.

Starr:
Yeah. Mine's not really into Legos, but she loves... We just have like this big box full of random craft supplies, and she'll just go dig in through that and start building stuff.

Ben:
Pretty great.

Josh:
That's fun. My kids are both really into Pokemon right now. So that's actually pretty fun, because Pokemon's fun to watch.

Ben:
Have you done Pokemon Go with them?

Josh:
No, I haven't done that yet.

Ben:
I don't even know if the game is still around. Like..

Starr:
Oh, it's around. I know several people who are super into Pokemon Go and yeah, it's around trust me. Especially with the pandemic lots of people just wanted something to get them out of the house. They've been walking around with that.

Josh:
I could see that.

Ben:
We had this thing. So I haven't done Pokemon Go in quite a while, but when I was doing it, we had this Discord group here around town. They would use that to coordinate the battles. You know, they're like, "oh, there's a new ray, let's all go over." And like, oh, wow. I wasn't that into it, but all of a sudden I just hear through the same spot. And they're coordinating the text and the scores. It's kind of fun. So I went to a couple of raids, but I just kind of lost interest before I really got that deep into it. So.

Starr:
I just can't really get into a game where I have to socialize with people to win. Maybe I'm just showing my age. I'm from the generation where you play games, to like get away from people.

Josh:
Is it really socializing? Because you're all just standing around in a park, staring at your phones. Aren't you? I mean, for us, that is socializing.

Starr:
Yeah. That's pretty much socializing. That's what we do at my family some nights.

Josh:
Oh yeah. We all went to the park today.

Starr:
Yeah. So it's beautiful in the Pacific Northwest now. I assume it's beautiful where you are Josh? It's

Josh:
Oh yeah. It's going to be 80.

Starr:
Oh my gosh. It's the first real week of sun after just months and months and months of gray and we all at this point, know not to get our hopes up. It's going to go back to gray pretty soon, but you can enjoy it while you got it.

Josh:
Is this the false spring? Is that what we're in right now?

Ben:
Yep. I think today probably after we're done recording, I'm going to be wrapping up some things pretty quickly and then getting the old foldable kayak out of the trunk and hitting the water.

Josh:
Nice.

Starr:
Oh, that's awesome.

Josh:
Yeah. I was thinking I might go sit in the sun or something.

Starr:
Yeah. So do you have any businessy type tech stuff to talk about today or we're all just have senior-itis?

Josh:
Well, we sort of unofficially launched a React Native support yesterday. So to our listeners, if you have any React Native projects that you want to monitor errors and you should hit us up, because we're looking for beta testers and things.

Starr:
That's awesome. And is that the one that Andre has been working on?

Josh:
Yep.

Ben:
Yeah. Andre did a fantastic job in getting the native stuff going and, Josh wrapped it up on the server side and I was pleasantly surprised at just how little work we had to do to get that working on a server side.

Josh:
Yeah. Source maps... Because React Native is a... I'm not a React Native developer, so it's probably only half working, but from what I understand, it's a little bit tricky, because it's React on top of native code. And so I've heard that you can end up with stack traces that have JavaScript and native, like source locations in them and stuff. And it gets tricky. So what we have, you can generate source maps for your React code and upload that to Honeybadger. And it works just like a regular JavaScript application. So we have yet to implement support for translating the native lines in the stack traces. But that's that'll be up next, I think. At least when someone requests it, so go use it and request it and we'll build it.

Ben:
That's that just in time development, we're not going to build it. Someone asks for it.

Josh:
Yeah. And also we have to understand it before we build it.

Starr:
Yeah. That's a biggie. Like somebody needs to come out with a a paid service that just processes source maps and Java trigger phrases. I know we would be the only customer because nobody has to do this, but us, but it seems like way too much work for what it is. It seems like we should just be able to like buy something and fix it.

Josh:
Yeah. What we're talking about here, basically it would be another source maps, service because are other types of... What is it? Symbolicating?

Starr:
Symbolification? I don't know.

Josh:
I can't remember. I think it's symbolication. Yeah, they switch it up on, you kn...
