Full-stack software engineer building scalable applications that serve millions of users. I write about software engineering, architecture, and lessons learned.
Shopify goes back to native because of AI, Netflix bridges two identity systems, and a run of sharp takes on what agents do to code quality, product thinking, and engineering judgment.
Simon Eskildsen on napkin math, first principles and tenure, Chinese open models catching up, and an AWS billing error that stopped hearts.
Context and loop engineering, Netflix's in-house LLM serving and real-time service topology, and the risks hiding in AI CLIs.
Bun's AI-assisted rewrite, the heating AI talent war, AI-generated fake resumes, and tougher technical vetting in hiring.
Kent Beck on why trust beats code, cloud-based agents, coding harnesses spreading beyond engineers, and Netflix's generative homepage.
NeetCode on why deep expertise still wins, Netflix's GenPage and controllable video editing, Kueue on Kubernetes, and owning problems, not tasks.
AI in CI/CD and progressive delivery, GitOps, Meta's AI-driven reorg, the US ban on Anthropic's Fable, and SpaceX buying Cursor.
AI labs pulling talent from Big Tech, fewer management layers, smart model routing, and Coinbase's missing cross-zone failover.
Kelsey Hightower on open source and tech that serves people, plus why the AI code boom is piling up tech debt and quality problems.
Teams reining in AI token spend, Dax Raad on engineering judgment, the rise of AI engineering jobs, and GCP suspending a $2M/month customer.
Rolling out AI tools gradually, Alice Ryhl on Rust's reliability, Google's Antigravity misstep, and why architectural thinking matters more with AI.
Agentic engineering skills, Fred Brooks' No Silver Bullet revisited, Anders Hejlsberg on TypeScript, and the return of forward-deployed engineers.
AI tool capacity shortages, smaller AI-forward teams, Meta putting engineers on data labeling, and what the new DDIA edition says about the cloud.
GitHub's AI-driven outages, Pi's self-modifying software, Ubuntu's local-first AI bet, Hashimoto's building block economy, and Copilot's price hike.
Cutting wasted token spend, Kleppmann on data-intensive design, real-time systems, and lessons from ~1,000 Amazon behavioral interviews.
AI tool costs are climbing and subsidies are shrinking. How to handle usage limits, avoid tokenmaxxing, and why architecture skills hold up.
