In this video I talk to Alex from the "packagemain" youtube channel to understand about his developer workflow, get to know him a bit better and some of the tools he uses like Colima that I didn't know about.

He has a channel with 10,000 subs as of today, mainly talks about go, but expect topics related to programming in general

If you want to see more videos like this or you want me to continue with them, please let me know down in the comments
