TODD KERPELMAN: Hey, there, everybody.
This is Todd Kerpelman at Google I/O
at the Shoreline Amphitheater on this beautiful summer day.
And on this very special episode of #AskFirebase,
we're going to turn the tables on you, the developers,
and ask you the questions.
So why don't we go inside and see
if we can find a developer or two, huh?
Come on.
What announcement at I/O today were you most excited about?
JEREMY: So I love the Firebase Cloud functions.
TODD KERPELMAN: And are we paying
you to wear this shirt today?
JEREMY: No.
No, you're not.
TODD KERPELMAN: Woo!
MICHAL: For sure, open sourcing, that is the key.
ANDRII: SMS identification.
JUAREZ: Android [? Gold. ?] It was
really nice to see how it's coming,
and also all the newest features of Firebase.
TODD KERPELMAN: You don't have to say Firebase.
JUAREZ: [LAUGHING]
MAKSYM: I'm most excited about machine learnings that is
become for the common people.
Everyone can try it and use it.
LUKASZ: Profiling of app, because it
will help us to find slow connections
and where our [INAUDIBLE] slow code.
AMIT: I think that Digits is a big one for phone number
authentication.
Other thing, I think, the real time--
I'm very bad with names, but it's
about the real time analytics.
TODD KERPELMAN: Streamview.
AMIT: Yeah, Streamview.
TODD KERPELMAN: Yeah, Streamview's fun.
Got him!
Take that!
I actually kind of feel bad, hurting these little guys.
What's the one development tool or utility
you can't live without?
JUAREZ: Lighthouse.
LUKASZ: I think Android's [INAUDIBLE] super cool.
TODD KERPELMAN: That is a great answer.
MICHAL: Oh, Retrofit.
MAKSYM: Because I am from [? iOS world, ?]
the most exciting for me is the [INAUDIBLE] display kit.
JEREMY: For the web, I would say Visual Studio Code.
TODD KERPELMAN: All right, here we go.
We're blasting off.
Oh, I got this one!
Waymo.
We need way mo' cars.
To the left!
Left!
Which of these does not exist?
I think that's me, Chromebit.
Oh.
Oh, no, that does exist.
Don't film that!
Toilet paper, over the roll, or under the roll?
LUKASZ: Over the roll.
[DING]
TODD KERPELMAN: Sure, they're developer questions.
JEREMY: Over.
[DING]
MAKSYM: Behind.
[DING]
AMIT: I use water.
[DING]
TODD KERPELMAN: Ah, even better answer.
JUAREZ: Behind.
[DING]
TODD KERPELMAN: Why behind?
JUAREZ: [LAUGHING] Yes.
TODD KERPELMAN: And--
JUAREZ: What kind of Firebase questions are this?
TODD KERPELMAN: Ah, you know, maybe we're
working on a toilet paper product.
You don't know.
It's a secret.
MICHAL: Oh, for sure, over.
[DING]
TODD KERPELMAN: Definitely.
[ROUND OVER BELL]
TODD KERPELMAN: If you take iOS, and you turn it upside down,
it says "So!"
Let's make sure this is lined up.
Better.
Now, nobody touch it.
Moving on, is a hot dog a sandwich?
LUKASZ: Hot dog.
TODD KERPELMAN: Is it a sandwich?
LUKASZ: [SOUNDING DISGUSTED] No.
[DING]
AMIT: I think it's not.
In sandwich, you can see what's in it.
JUAREZ: Sandwich.
[DING]
TODD KERPELMAN: It is?
JUAREZ: Yes.
TODD KERPELMAN: Ah, interesting.
MAKSYM: Sandwich.
[DING]
JEREMY: No?
[DING]
MICHAL: No.
[DING]
[ROUND OVER BELL]
TODD KERPELMAN: No, why would it be?
Ketchup or mayonnaise on your French fries?
LUKASZ: Ketchup.
[DING]
AMIT: Ketchup.
[DING]
MAKSYM: Ketchup.
[DING]
JUAREZ: None.
[DING]
JEREMY: Neither.
TODD KERPELMAN: Neither?
Just plain?
MICHAL: Both.
[DING]
MICHAL: I like mixing those two, so--
[ROUND OVER BELL]
TODD KERPELMAN: That's a good answer, too.
We should get one of these for the office.
This would be fun.
How have you been enjoying the show?
Excited about the Kotlin announcement?
Yes, everyone is.
This is Alex.
She's a tech writer for us.
She makes some amazing documentation.
How's the show been going for you?
ALEX: [INAUDIBLE].
TODD KERPELMAN: Yeah, kind of feel like it's
had its ups and downs.
Ha!
You're at Google I/O next year.
Sundar steps up on stage and says this year,
we are super excited to announce--
What would you like to hear him say?
LUKASZ: I think, "Free Waymo car for everyone."
TODD KERPELMAN: That is a great answer.
Did you hear that, Sundar?
We're going to work on it.
AMIT: That Amit Patil is our new CEO.
TODD KERPELMAN: That'd be a step up.
That'd be a promotion, I think.
MICHAL: Probably maybe more about machine learning
in terms of mobile vision.
For example, there is the Google Lance application.
Maybe offering sourcing some of the nifty features there
that will be super awesome to see.
TODD KERPELMAN: That would be super awesome to see.
Ha, no pun intended.
JEREMY: They seem to do a good job of delivering every year.
Don't need my help for it.
TODD KERPELMAN: More fun when it's a surprise.
JEREMY: Yeah.
ANDRII: Operation system for iPhone and iPad.
TODD KERPELMAN: Ha, maybe we'll get working on that one.
MAKSYM: Now, all iOS developers that uses Swift,
we are greeting you, and you can using Swift on Android.
TODD KERPELMAN: Ah, Swift on Android.
We'll have to see about that one.
JUAREZ: I would like the auto-bike.
TODD KERPELMAN: Oh, a self-pedaling bike.
JUAREZ: I like to go to the forest and everything,
so if I--
it will be easier to take selfies and everything
and enjoy the moment.
TODD KERPELMAN: That's a good idea.
LUKASZ: So I have some stickers for you.
It's super stickers from our chapter [INAUDIBLE].
Take it with you and stick where you can.
TODD KERPELMAN: Only at I/O. I'm going
to go put these on someone's car right now.
Thank you to everybody who took the time
to answer my questions today.
What did you think of this?
Did you like it?
If so, put your comments down there below.
And who knows, maybe we will take this show
to your next developer conference.
In the meantime, if you have any other questions,
feel free to ask them with the hashtag AskFirebase,
and we will see you soon.
All right, my turn.
I want to play.
