090: Want financial advice? Here we talk about Go and how we're building businesses using Go 18.06.2026 1val 1minWe're talking about multiple topics this week, which I'll let you discover because being total honest I forgot to wrote the title and description after we recorded, and now I'm late to post the episode haha and don't have time to listen back. One thing I do remember though is that we talked about datastar, HTMX, building web app in Go, databases, query optimization. Maybe the SpaceX stock came for a brief moment...

088: Just listen to Dom 04.06.2026 1val 1minThis week we talk about git worktree, datastar, what onboarding means for our respective projects.

087: func AudioToVideo(input Podcast) (Podcast, error) 28.05.2026 1val 2minHey kids, we're broadcasting in video now, hopefully that works, TBD. This week Morten decided to use PostgreSQL for telemetry data for now, ClickHouse when scale requires it and Dominic used / polished the schedule tasks and server-side function of StaticBackend.
-
086: Just use postgres, man 21.05.2026 1val 8minIt's one of these week where we just talk about challenges we're facing with our respective product. Morten wants to use ClickHouse, with subtility Dominic try to say that maybe Postgres might be just good for now. Dominic released StaticBackend v1.7.0 and talks about where things are with this project.

085: Morten received an ~acquisition offer, Dominic got his 1st paying customer 14.05.2026 1val 5minIt's sounds way bigger than what it is, for both of us frankly. But hey, we're using Go to try and generate a living out of our respective products and there's no small achievements. We talk about struggles of real-world life of trying and building a product enough people care about so we can continue our dreams of sustainability. Of course this still involve Go since we both bet on Go for our products and our usual tangents. This format might be close to what go podcast() is evolving too. We're always looking to talk to Gophers, if you want to talk about something that passion you reach out. When there's no interview, well we go free-style talking about our products, our challenges and everything in between.

084: Databases, FTS, and local LLM 07.05.2026 1val 1minThis week we talk about databases, full-text search and local llm. All of this with the usual tangents and what not.

083: Lisette, inspired by Rust, compiles to Go with Iván Ovejero 30.04.2026 58minThis week Iván Ovejero join me and we talk about Lisette, a nice programming language that's inspired by Rust and compiles to Go. Programming languages are the new JS framework these days it seems. I personally enjoy discovering new language, sometimes it clicks sometimes it don't. Go is a great language, but I'll admit that having a better type system, the exhaustive pattern match on enum, and a pipe operator to me feels like very nice to have / quality of life as Gophers. In any case, it's always great to talk to language creators, And who knows, maybe you'll want some excitement and try something new this week.Links:Lisette's websiteIvan's website

082: Streaming, product updates, and marketing 23.04.2026 1val 1minHey we talk about streaming programming session, some updates on our produicts, and challenges related to marketing.Ho and Morten quit the call for a second time in a row, this streak has to stop ;).

081: Weird Redis bug and we talk text editors 16.04.2026 58minI talk about a weird issue I'm having all of a sudden with Redis. VPS hosting in general, the famous 5 years mark for a server. Morten is using neovim, which I find very interesting, so we took an un-scripted tangent talking about text editors.

080: Ship it anyway: fighting the urge to refactor 09.04.2026 55minIn this episode, we dive into the dangerous "pre-launch purgatory"—that final stretch after reaching V1 but before the first paying customers arrive. It’s a period where the temptation to start over is at its peak, armed with all the lessons learned during the build. We discuss how to resist the urge to refactor your SaaS into oblivion and why shipping "imperfect" code is the only way to get the feedback you actually need.In the second half, the conversation shifts to the challenges of maintainership. My co-host shares the hurdles he’s currently facing with his open-source project, Andurel. When you’re building in a vacuum without a clear signal from users, how do you decide which features matter? We explore the shared struggle of finding a "North Star" when the feedback loop is quiet and the roadmap feels uncertain.

079: WireGuard and don't mix social engagement w/ product validation 02.04.2026 1val 4minThis week we talk about what's new with what we're working on. And as always we cover / comment what we've found intreesting or disturbing in the last week or so.

077: LLMs, with great power comes great responsibility 19.03.2026 59minRamesh contacted me regarding what we've been saying lately in the pod regarding using LLM and some bad experiences we've had and maybe even some negativity etc. He wanted to give his perspective and experiences using LLMs, where it's working well for him and his team and give some tips regarding potential miss-use and what have been working good for him.

076: From nginx to Caddy and we both had LLM quality issues/concerns 12.03.2026 1val 8minWe hop into the call and start recording, and what we found, we had both issues / concerns about quality of LLM produce code. Morten is reviewing some aspect of his project before releasing the public version and found some interesting thing that would make it hard to justify leaving them there. I had very similar issues, entering into a full refactor of a Go backend server I let the LLM cook for a rare time in Go, and decided at some point that enough is enough and decided to refactor the code.It's not like it's big surprise, and I think we're a lot in that situation. When you truly start to review the code that is generated, let's just say that sometimes it's not the best work you'd have done yourself. It's quicker though, no question there. But at what cost.I also finally ditched nginx and installed Caddy for my production servers.
