    070: Morten, a new co-host; Discussing the current state of education and AI

    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 concerns and like most people are realizing after using an LLM seriously, well let's just say that an expert is kind of very hard to replace, especially when it's time to learn new skills.

    069: I'm having fun again! Un-archiving StaticBackend

    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 open source backend-as-a-service project I started in 2019. I'm missing the pace of working on a problem, thinking about it for some time and implementing a solution while adding tests etc. I've recorded this episode twice because the first time I kind of sliped into a more dark / negative mood, and that's not what I want for the pod and not how I'm feeling about bringing StaticBackend back. Go's v1 "it will build" compatibility is underrated. Links: StaticBackend (GitHub)StaticBackend (website)Act run GitHub action locallyPlease if you can talk about the podcast it would help greatly.

    068: Revisiting Datastar with Delaney Gillilan

    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 long time already and once I tried datastar I found myself capable of great interactions between the frontend and backend and mostly keep the state that made sense in the backend. It's hard to explain, you'd have to test it to realize it's true power. Links: Datastar websiteIf you'd want to support the show you may talk about it, join the Slack channel #gopodcast.
