When you're building in public, you don’t just ship code—you ship opinions. And sometimes, those opinions light the internet on fire.
In this week’s episode of The Good Thing, Jens and Stefan unpack three of the most talked-about stories in tech—from language wars to AI ethics to the future of foundational infrastructure.
We cover:
Go vs. Rust – why Jens’s viral post stirred up so much emotion, and what’s actually at stake for dev teams choosing between them
Claude and the blackmail buzz – TechCrunch’s report on Anthropic’s AI refusing shutdown… science fiction or a signal we shouldn’t ignore?
The Stargate Project – OpenAI's new collaboration with Oracle and SoftBank, with support of the United States Government, to invest $500 billion into AI infrastructure in the U.S.
OpenAI’s IPO potential – how going public could shift incentives, influence pricing, and impact every startup building on their APIs
If you care about developer experience, responsible AI, or the systems your tools depend on, this episode hits the sweet spot between spicy takes and serious insight.
We’d love to hear your thoughts:
Is Rust hype or hard truth? Should we be worried about agent autonomy? And how would a public OpenAI reshape the industry?
