Hey Lea returns to the pod to talk about the soon to release v3 of Wails. We go over what's new, Wails is handling multiple windows, has a HTTP protocol now instead of using the v2 / send message way of communicating with Go, and surprise surprise, a major bomb dropped by Lea near the end of the episode, which you've already been spoiled by the title, but worth the listen to the end.

Hey, another episode on our mutual status update with our projects.

We'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...

This week we talk about git worktree, datastar, what onboarding means for our respective projects.

Hey 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.

It'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.

It'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 pr...

This week we talk about databases, full-text search and local llm. All of this with the usual tangents and what not.

This 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...

Hey 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 ;).

I 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.

In 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 f...

This 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.

We talk to the author of Uncloud, a tool that helps with self-hosting and managing your own infrastructure / make it easy to deploy your services to your servers.  Links: Uncloud on GitHub

Ramesh 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.

We 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...

Andy, the creator of the Fyne toolkit returns and talk about a new visual designer for Fyne apps and a service to make building to all platform very easy. We talk about the state of Fyne, AppTrix Andy's product and how it's now possible to use a visual designer to create Fyne UI if you're more of a visual person than defining the UI via code. Links: Fyne website AppTrix

We give an update on our respective projects and  talk about the difficulties of changing license from MIT to LGPL once there's contributions to the project.

This week we talk about multiple in-the-news topics like the SalesForce announcement that Heroku is in ~maintenance mode and we surface the big observability topic as I'm preparing to implement something basic for StaticBackend and since Morten already have this in his open source project we duscuss about ways to add this after the fct and some parts of tracing your system.

This week we're talking about the tools we're using in our day-to-day as Go software engineers.  Which tools we like, of course there's always the story driven aspect of go podcast(), so there's a couple of tangents here and there ;).

We're trying something, each first episode of the month we'll talk about our respective open source projects. This episode will be more story driven than others, and you'll be able to follow our journey maintaining open source Go projects. Links: Andurel Morten's project StaticBackend Dominic's project

Meet Morten, I said I wanted to try and bring co-hosts in 2026 to test how it feel to have co-hosts. We're starting this with a discussion on LLM and tech education and a little bit of education more extended. As someone that create courses we've all more or less felt a drop as AI and LLM are used in ~tech training or does people even still wants to get new skills and what not. It's a major concer...

I'm restarting this year after a small break, go podcast() turned 4 years which is crazy, although I'd have hope to have had a better consistency publishing episodes, it is what it is ;). I'm looking at bringing co-hosts from multiple background to add some diversity to the episodes, if you're intrigued please reach out. I've also decided to un-archived and restart working on StaticBackend, my Go...

I asked Delaney Gillilan to return to go podcast() to revisit datastar, a very impressive tool that enable backend to push changes to the frontend of a web application. In episode 54 we covered the "what is datastar", in this episode I wanted to dive a little deeper since I personally finally started to jump and use the library in projects. I have been a dedicated user of HTMX and Alpine for a lon...

This week I try to keep an open mind and we talk LLMs and AI with Markus Wüstenberg. Markus is a friend of the show and I noticed he was using a lot of LLM lately, I basically learn a lot by doing these podcast interviews, so I was interested to hear about what Markus is using LLM and AI in the systems he ships and also how does he uses AI as a software engineer in the day-to-day. Personally my ex...
