    072: The tools we're using as Go SWE

    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 ;).

    071: February projects updates

    We're trying something, each first episode of the month we'll talk about our respective open source projects.

    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.

    067: LLM/AI as agents in your Go system with Markus Wüstenberg

    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 experience so far is very mixed, sometimes it's good other it's pretty frustrating with LLMs either integrating functionalities augmented by LLMs or trying to integrate a coding agent in my day-to-day, let's just say that I'm not there yet. But I wanted to hear about someone that do have real production experiences using these things, and Markus gives a solid fundation to demistified some aspects, at least for me ;).

    065: We're in the 3rd age of SaaS

    My desire to run a sustainable software business started somewhere near 2003 in the Business of Software forum. I've built, sold, and acquired a dozen of products since that time, with I have to admit the majority of failures. I've seen three distincts era for software companies, we're definitably in the 3rd one, one that still has to be identified as good or bad. Software companies, especially calm company is excruciably hard to be successful at. But when you're honest and define what is success to you and set out realistic goals, there's ways to succeed even without have $2m in ARR. Go is of course a great choice to build a SaaS, but software product has almost zero to do with technology, especially at first and you'll most certainly end up rewriting to a v2 at some point after learning what the product really need to be. So the good old advice of use what you're most proficent in to write code is most often than not the correct answer. I talk about my experiences trying to run a sustainable software company for the last 17 years.
