In this live episode Omar and myself get the ping application working. Not the best written C code, but it works, after I figured out we need to run the application as root.

Happy Star Wars Day! In this live episode Omar and myself get the Slack integration working. At least a ruff draft of it that still needs some clean-up. We also discuss the lower level networking details like ports and sockets.

In this live episode Omar and myself try to write a low-level C app that does a network ping. Omar really wanted the app to be in C, so you get to watch me struggle to remember C syntax and translate bytes, chars, etc.

We do an OK job of explaining networking but a better job of explaining hex and how numbers are represented by bits (base 2) and bit shifting.

In this live episode Omar and myself write and unit test the code for saving the Slack token to the keyring. We abandon using Testify mocks and instead add an in-memory setting for our credential manager. We also have a good discussion about test-driven development (TDD).
