More honest updates from Jon and Justin on what it's like to be building Transistor.fm:

People can't believe that we're using this in production.
Why SaaS feels better than other businesses we've been involved with.
"Kubernetes sounds like a Russian swat squad."
There's a temptation to over-engineer things; but there's only two of us working on Transistor!
The enterprise sales process seems like it's too much for our small bootstrapped company.
Looking back, we were wrong about who are customers were going to be.
You won't believe what Justin's been sending to customers. 😳
