"I can't believe you're using that in production"

More honest updates from Jon and Justin on what it's like to be
building Transistor.fm:


People can't believe that we're using this in production.

Why SaaS feels better than other businesses we've been
involved with.

"Kubernetes sounds like a Russian swat squad."

There's a temptation to over-engineer things; but there's
only two of us working on Transistor!

The enterprise sales process seems like it's too much for our
small bootstrapped company.

Looking back, we were wrong about who are customers were
going to be.

You won't believe what Justin's been sending to customers.
