085: Morten received an ~acquisition offer, Dominic got his 1st paying customer

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 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.

083: Lisette, inspired by Rust, compiles to Go with Iván Ovejero

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 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 website Ivan's website

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.

080: Ship it anyway: fighting the urge to refactor

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 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.
