Curious, wouldn’t you want the source code to compile on the final platform? (If not using docker) I’m not familiar with binary or lower level workings but I figured there would be certain benefits of compiling the same code on Linux vs Mac or Windows for example.

The Go compiler produces the same binary regardless of which host OS it is ran on. i.e., the OS you compile a Go program on doesn't matter (assuming pure Go code, not including C etc).

I think he was talking more about the machine architecture than the OS.

As of Go 1.5 the compiler works for any supported target architecture.

Thx for the info, I don’t use Go typically.
