Engineering deep dives, architectural decisions, and rants against the cloud industrial complex.
We migrated 50,000 lines of Go to Rust. The result? 40% less memory usage, zero runtime panics, and a 200% increase in developer happiness (after the borrow checker PTSD wore off).
READ FULL REPORTThe sticker on your NVMe drive says "Warranty Void if Removed." We remove it anyway. That sticker is a thermal insulator, and in high-performance computing, heat is the enemy of speed.
How we migrated 500GB of live production data to NVMe arrays without a single second of downtime.
Serverless functions are great until you hit scale. Then you realize you're paying a 500% markup for AWS Lambda wrappers. Here is the math.
How we achieved 10gbps throughput on a single core using asynchronous I/O and modern Linux kernel features. Warning: Contains C code.
We added a panic button for developers. If your API gets DDOS'd, one CLI command instantly severs the connection and rotates your keys.
Real-time chat is an interruption factory. We switched to async-only communication and our shipping velocity doubled.
It was revolutionary in 2013. Now it's 2025. Virtual DOM overhead is real. It's time to move on to signals and fine-grained reactivity.
We built a global edge network using consumer hardware just to prove it could be done. Here is the architecture diagram.
We tried to build a truly offline build server. Then we found out about acoustic cryptanalysis. Here is how we hardened our physical infrastructure.
AWS Mac instances cost $1/hour. eBay Mac Minis cost $200 once. We built our own CI/CD farm for iOS builds and saved $40k/year.
If a ticket has been in Jira for more than 3 months, you aren't going to do it. Delete it. Free your mind. Focus on what matters today.
We send one email a week. No spam. No marketing fluff. Just code and chaos.
