The part 2 of my talk with Ivan Fetch. We cover the remaining listener questions and go over some aspects in more details of being blind in tech.
This week I'm joined by Ivan Fetch. We talk about challenges and day-to-day life as tech professionals being blind, using a screen reader. This is the part one as we've a lot to cover.

go podcast() is back. After debating about canceling or continuing the pod, I've took 2 months and decided to resume publishing episode. I'm looking at a formula for the 4th year of the podcast.

After last episode with Templ maintainers I was really pumped to try Templ and see if it would work for me. Without spoiling too much I believe it would have been easier to start from scratch with Templ vs. trying to migrate an existing project. This led me to try and see if I could add static analysis of my templates in my library tpl. I don't really have a PoC yet, but kind of getting close to it. If everything continue I should be able to capture errors in using of wrong field in template, li...

I started a monolith-style web application couple of weeks ago and force to admit that Go is more and more fun to use where I was considering more like Django or Rails before. For me there was still the templates aspect that needed to be fixed, and I wrote a library for that. The other major place where I was not enjoying myself was the database code, found it way to repetitive for application that had a lot of SQL tables. We're in a very good place at the moment and the benefits of having a com...
I've restarted active development on my open source Go backend server API StaticBackend. For a long time I wanted to make its CLI size smaller, and I decided to use Go's plugin package to extract a functionality that used a dependency that was accounting for more than 50% of its 170 MB. Go plugin were the solution I decided to use for this and I explain the problem and the solution in this episode.

I've been building SaaS since 2008 and built two with Go. Big spoiler, the technology you choose has a little impact in the early stage of a software business. There's some danger to over-engineer and use complex construct while you still does not even know if what you're building is desirable. Heck, you don't even know what you're building at first. I'm giving some example of common traps and pitfails technical founder tend to fail into when jumping into a startup venture for first times. And y...

My upcoming SaaS product at first wasn't suppose to be rolled out as a product, but was for my own usage. Turns out as I was using it and selling my online courses that it appears to me as being fairly usefull and could compete against existing course selling platform. The hic is that it wasn't built as a SaaS in mind, so I have to deploy one application per customer. It's completely multi-tenant. To help with automating the deployment of a new tenant, I wrote and orchestrator with agents to fac...

In 2021 Twilio sent a termination email on their Fax services. I was consulting as the CTO in a credit bureau that was in the start of an acquisition process with Equifax Canada. There was just no time to "waste" on changing provider and rewriting this part of the system to satisfy the new provider API. Would have been grand if the provider would have offered a shim that replicated Twilio's API and map that to their own API. Imagine how many companies needed to rewrite this part at the same time...
