The Technical Co-Founder Podcast with Fexingo: Engineering Founders, CTOs, and Building from Code

Written by: Fexingo
Listen for free

Lucas and Luna sit down with engineering founders and CTOs who ship code, not slide decks. Each episode deconstructs how a technical leader chose their stack, scaled the engineering team, and balanced building against fundraising — from the first commit to the series A. Lucas presses for concrete metrics: deployment frequency, incident response times, burn rate per engineer. Luna challenges the guest on hiring philosophy, monorepo decisions, and when to rewrite vs. refactor. The show serves experienced software engineers considering a co-founder role, early-stage CTOs looking for war stories, and product-minded developers who want to understand the business side of code. No fluff, no motivational speeches — just the real trade-offs between shipping fast and building robust systems, told by the people who made the calls. You'll walk away with a mental model for choosing your first cloud provider, structuring a two-pizza team, or deciding whether to take outside funding at all. #TechnicalCoFounder #CTO #EngineeringLeadership #StartupEngineering #TechStack #SoftwareArchitecture #FounderAdvice #CodeReview #Scalability #DevOps #StartupCulture #EngineeringManagement #VentureCapital #StartupFunding #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #Business #Technology Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo© 2026 Fexingo.

  • How Vercel Prevented Technical Debt With Edge Routing

    How Vercel Prevented Technical Debt With Edge Routing
    Oct 19 2026
    Vercel’s edge network handles millions of requests per second, but their secret isn’t just speed—it’s how they manage the complexity of global routing without creating a maintenance nightmare. We break down the specific engineering decisions behind their middleware layer and why treating infrastructure as code prevents the technical debt that cripples most scaling startups. This episode explores the trade-offs between developer experience and operational overhead in modern serverless architectures. #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Vercel #EdgeComputing #TechnicalDebt #ServerlessArchitecture #MiddlewareLayer #GlobalRouting #DevOpsCulture #InfrastructureAsCode #EngineeringLeadership #ScalabilityChallenges #DeveloperExperience #NetworkLatency #CloudOperations #SoftwareEngineering #TechStrategy #BuildFromCode Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • How Figma Prevented Engineering Burnout

    How Figma Prevented Engineering Burnout
    Oct 18 2026
    When Figma scaled past two million users, they didn't just add more servers—they redesigned how engineers interact with the platform. This episode explores their shift from reactive incident response to proactive 'platform reliability engineering' and the specific metric that changed their hiring strategy. We look at how reducing cognitive load for developers directly impacts product velocity and why the best bug fixes happen before a ticket is even opened. #Figma #PlatformEngineering #EngineeringCulture #DeveloperExperience #ReliabilityEngineering #SRE #CognitiveLoad #TechLeadership #ScalingStartups #ProductVelocity #IncidentManagement #DevOps #SoftwareArchitecture #TeamEfficiency #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #TechTrends2026 #EngineeringMetrics Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • How Linear Killed Engineering Burnout

    How Linear Killed Engineering Burnout
    Oct 17 2026
    Linear redefined the modern engineering experience by stripping away legacy tooling and focusing on velocity. We explore their decision to build a custom issue tracker, how they handled remote work with asynchronous communication, and why they killed status meetings entirely. Discover how a small team used disciplined design choices to solve the biggest problem in tech: context switching. #LinearApp #EngineeringCulture #ProductivityTools #RemoteWork #TechFounders #SoftwareDevelopment #AsyncCommunication #DeveloperExperience #StartupGrowth #BusinessTechnology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TechTrends2026 #WorkflowOptimization #ManagementLessons #CodeReview #SaaSIndustry #TeamEfficiency Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
