Want to save 50% on your LLM bills?

Sid has a novel compaction strategy I’ve not seen anyone else use.

I wrote a book.

In my book Rusty Engineering Management I meander to a point I make explicitly here: There is a type system for engineering management and all you need to understand it is Rust’s borrow-checker.

What if errors were executable?

Imagine you have to generate the word that succeeds this colon: ___ What would you put in that blank space?

I wrote a library with a terrible name: policyai.

This article is a cry for help.

With the rise of vibe coding, you should be writing throwaway code.

Your system prompt is going to leak.

Sam Altman suggested he wants to make OpenAI your core AI subscription to a platform that everybody uses to use their product to do agentic things.

With the rise of vibe coding I see a prediction of the future.

The best leaders are those the people hardly know exist.

The best leaders are those the people hardly know exist.

Humanity hates intelligence.

The Internet was built on human-readable, text-based protocols.

Infrastructure is like an ocean.

With the progression of gen AI, we will transition away from a consumption-oriented society.

ProtoQL: A Work-in-Progress ORM Bridging Protocol Buffers and Key-Value Stores ProtoQL is an emerging open-source project aiming to provide a novel way to manage structured data using protocol buffers within a key-value store environment.

Take a moment to ponder the following question: Imagine you were benchmarking a key-value store and needed to represent 1e12 distinct keys to share among the workload generators.

Got my bipolar racing thoughts turned off.

Exponential histograms provide a way of measuring large ranges of values with a bounded number of buckets.

I was motivated by a singular problem: How does one detect data loss or corruption in a new key value store?

This post introduces mani, a text-based write-ahead log for maintaining a manifest of strings.

This post is motivated by a single problem: I want to efficiently maintain a checksum over an entire key-value store such that, no matter what operations happen, the checksum represents the data the key-value store holds.

lsmtk, short for the log-structured-merge-toolkit is a new log-structured data structure intended to serve as a proving ground for a new compaction algorithm called triangular compaction.

I have multiple irons in the fire that I switch between regularly.

I wanted to be able to annotate a struct and automatically generate all the protocol buffers for it.
