The story of Go's garbage collector is one of the most remarkable engineering transformations in modern computing that I have ever studied about. When Go launched in 2009, its garbage collector would freeze applications for literal seconds, making it unusable for any serious…
Mainstream Linux distros have been focused for too long on being as similar to Windows and Mac as possible to ease adoption. I've come to believe this isn't the way. Linux needs to embrace its own aesthetic, its own ethos, unapologetically. Lean into rice and TUIs!
Before moving from my role at Google to Snowflake I sat down and did a braindump of all the guidelines that I follow (or followed at one point and wanted to reintroduce).
For those interested, here are the ~34 guidelines that made the cut
BREAKING: MIT just completed the first brain scan study of ChatGPT users & the results are terrifying.
Turns out, AI isn't making us more productive. It's making us cognitively bankrupt.
Here's what 4 months of data revealed:
(hint: we've been measuring productivity all wrong)
Metcalfe’s Law against Brooks’ Law
Guido van Rossum, Python’s creator, recently said: “We have a huge community, but relatively few people, relatively speaking, are contributing meaningfully.”
This highlights a paradox.
Software thrives on the network effect, or Metcalfe’s…
I entirely believe that 30% of all code at Microsoft might be automatically generated.
But it does not mean what you think it means.
Consider:
1. Microsoft Teams is still ridiculously slow. You click, wait 2 seconds, and you see the result. Billions of cycles to display three…
There is a reason why AI as of today is 'generative' and not 'creative'.
Delegating 'creative' human aspects to AI tools is making people dumb, in my opinion as they don't want to even think now.
Infrequent use of brain is resulting in weakening neural connections
#GenerativeAI
As a teenager and young adult, I was ridiculously successful by academic metrics. I easily got As and A+s. I completed my undergraduate on a full scholarship which is uncommon in Canada. I effectively completed my PhD is less than 2 years. I taught myself assembly programming…

Elon has shown us this week what the future looks like. Robovan and robotaxis, humanoid robotics, green parks instead of parking lots, tunnels, rockets that are fully reusable and chopstick shenanigans. All of it sci-fi, but greater, and here, and incredible.

Programming ≠ coding
Most programmers spend time learning how to code and not how to program.
Programming is spending big chunk of time 'thinking' and 'creating' the recipe. Coding is often the easier and the final part in process, to craft the code, once you know the recipe.
Once upon a time, there was a guy who worked for a big startup.
Every month, he would get a nice fat salary.
One day, he put down his papers without a backup job in mind. He wanted to take a step back. He wanted to know how it feels to live a life without an externally…
