Software eats everything. Someone said that once, and the founders in this section are proof. They’re building the applications, tools, and platforms that run businesses, connect people, and occasionally break in production at the worst possible moment.
These interviews cover the full software landscape. Enterprise SaaS. Developer tools. Consumer apps. Infrastructure. The kind of software you use every day without thinking about it, and the kind that solves problems so niche you didn’t know the problem existed. Both are fascinating.
The founders here talk about what it actually takes to build software. Not the glamorous version. The real one. The version with technical debt, feature creep, and the ongoing negotiation between what users want and what’s actually possible to build without the whole thing falling over.
You’ll find insights on product development, engineering culture, pricing strategy, and the art of building something people will pay for. Also the challenge of competing in markets where everyone seems to be building the same thing. Whether you’re a developer, a product person, or someone trying to understand the software industry, these conversations deliver.
