049: I hate e2e tests, but I love unit tests
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. I'll still do interviews with Gophers as much as I can. But to fill the gap, I'd like to have something special, maybe more story based that would allow me to publish regularely, like each week.In this episode I talk mostly about how innevitably my integrations and e2e tests sucks and are borderline untrustable after sometimes.If you'd like to record an episode as a guest reach out, these days I'm on BlueSky as @dominicstpierre.comAs always you can support the show by talking about it, sharing the links.

Toying with static analysis of HTML templates
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, like typos in field name that are caught at runtime at this moment.Links: https://github.com/dstpierre/tplAlso if you want to support this show, this is a 50% discount on my courses: Build SaaS apps in Go and Build a Google Analytics in Go.
