I kind of hit a first plateau with the SaaS. We took a small 1 week vacation in august and things never restarted after like it was prior. It's always rough for me these periods and I usually go all over the places instead of trying to keep calm, it's always easy to say / advice, but hard to do

Of course titles means nothing. I've had 2 titles in my career, programmer and entrepreneur. At least entrepreneur still means something these days, programmer, well not so much unfortunately.

Officially a Staff Software Engineer at Netflix 🎉 …the same title I had 5 years ago at Gatsby. So friendly reminder that titles are made up and inconsistent!

gmail is not fun to use with a screen reader. I tried Thunderbird after almost 20 years using a web interface for email. Let's just say, I'm cleaning a lot of crap that I was just leaving there in the web app, not sure why, but it's unsub time. It feel like I'm more engage with my inbox now.

babe is everything okay? you've barely touched your five mutually exclusive boolean props that should have been a single enum.

ok, 0 to 1 is done in the sense that I've a first paying customer, someone booked a demo for tomorrow, and there's ~2 lead in the pipeline, it's so little but at the same time gigantesque. Did I freaking finally built something people want. Next step is 10 paying customers, which feels like ⛰️

in my last r/golang post, a reply I got: > Wow, how did you manage to write so much code while being blind? People with disability are able to do as much as enable people, IF they're in an environment they can be productive in. Think about this when you gave your next interview.

day-to-day as blind software engineers - I once tried to get my profile in a website that help diversity in tech that helps open companies connect with talent, turns out I never was listed. Well guess what, finding job being disable if very hard as well, even if I'm white. Food for thoughts

One of the few advice that everyone is regurgitating for almost 20y in SaaS world that I believe in is use the boring stuff to build and don't jump in the unknown. Especially true with LLM these days. I love Gleam, a lot. But Go just allowed me to finally build a SaaS smbs want to pay for.

programming languages are the new frontend frameworks now - one is created / launched each week it seems. The future will be noisy.

one thing I like about the ? in syntax like Rust is that my screen reader ask a question about a line, looking at Lisette language at the moment: let data = io.ReadAll(file)? Which naturally increase the intonation, really cool on top of not having if err != nil { return x, err }

2026 is the year I say fairwell to nginx and finally adopt Caddy as my main reverse proxy server. What feature won me over? The on demand TLS, I mean it's nice for multi-tenant platform. Nice isn't the word, I'd say it's sick.

Hey a quick teaser for tomorrow's go podcast() episode ;) - Are you using docker/podman as a dev to prevent installing "servers" on your dev env, like PostgreSQL, Valkey, Redis, Mongo, etc?

Go I love you a lot, but I would have hope that Ken, Rob, or Robert (whomever wanted short names) would have thought about screen reader users a bit: strconv.Itoa(params.Page)). The only thing I make sense of is params.Page.
