Commit & Push
Commit & Push
Podcast Description
Great software doesn’t build itself. Behind every breakthrough product is a team making the right calls—on architecture, hiring, and the trade-offs that shape what gets pushed to prod.
The Commit & Push podcast is where technology meets the human side of software development. I’m your host Damien Filiatrault, Founder and CEO of Scalable Path, and in this podcast we’ll go beneath the surface to explore the strategies, decisions, and hard-earned lessons that drive successful digital products. From hiring top developers to embracing emerging tech without losing the human touch, we cut through the noise and focus on what works.
Whether you’re a CTO, engineering leader, or hands-on developer, you’ll get real-world insights from industry veterans, deep dives into emerging technologies, and a no-BS look at what it takes to build and scale great software.

What you’ll learn:
How a home-grown prototype that made Killian 60 % faster convinced him to ditch agency life and bootstrap full-time
Polypane’s three pillars: multi-pane responsive previews, deep accessibility & Web Vitals insights, and instant social-media cards—even on localhost
Tactics for capturing user feedback “anywhere it appears,” crafting a no-tracking onboarding email flow, and helping devs win reimbursement with an ROI calculator
Side projects Superposition (extract design tokens straight into Figma) and FixA11y (fix color contrast on any site)
Why he’s holding off on flashy AI features—and what he’s learned from six years of going fast alone
Memorable sound bites
“I was 60 % faster with my prototype—so I decided to take it seriously.”
“Polypane should feel more like your IDE than a ‘normal’ browser.”
“A tool that costs 60 cents a day doesn’t have to do much to pay for itself.”
Tune in for a candid look at solo-founder life, smarter front-end workflows, and how to ship a power-tool browser that developers actually adopt.
