Author here. I’m a huge FP snob (Rust/Scala) so using Go for this project kinda hurt at first.

But as a solo founder, I needed speed. The main thing I learned is that LLMs write amazing Go code. It's so simple and boilerplate-heavy that the AI almost never hallucinates.

Ended up building a distributed audio ingestion system that undercuts Twilio by like 80%.

Happy to answer questions about the architecture or other things.

Just a heads up but I don’t think your site is loading the css correctly for whatever reason. I’m just getting html when I load it

The layout is broken on mobile Firefox. It looks similar to when CSS fails to load.

None of this happened. The entire article is made up by AI.

Are LLMs better at writing go because it is a simple language, or is it because there is just a lot more training data?
