Sometimes, being a good craftsperson (engineer, designer, etc.) really gets in the way of being a good businessperson. You have to unlearn a few habits that you have formed as a good craftsperson. A lot of business is about creating value. A profitable business is about creating

Fast-tracking the story: You ask around and find out that the previous value for "processing delay" was 300 seconds, i.e. 5 mins! The local config value of 1 second got pushed to prod in a recent commit and that's when latencies started increasing.

(Here's something I don't see many people talk a lot about. But I feel strongly about this - especially true for early stage engineers who just started in tech.) If you always depend on bootcamps, videos, blogs for learning the next tool/technology/language etc. you'll find

Here's how positive reinforcement does wonders: We have a #wins channel on our Slack, and I post any good behavior by teammates (helping others out, cost saving, nicely prepared doc, etc.) in that channel. Earlier, I was the only one who would post messages on this channel.

If you're looking to read programming books this coming year, I highly recommend reading: - 7 languages in 7 weeks and - 7 databases in 7 weeks Guaranteed to make you a better programmer in whatever primary language you're using (not sure about JavaScript 😉)

I keep repeating this, so here goes: Before writing code, write a few bullet points that describe: - your approach, - unknowns you want to find answers to, - hypothesis and how you go about building POCs to validate that, and - your assumptions DON'T start coding directly.

Finally met the duo - @hey_yogini and @designerdada in Peerlist's beautiful cozy office. We joked that we had only seen each other in meetups for the last year or more. It was great to catch up and discuss all things engineering, design, and the journey of being a founder.

At the end of the function, the code is marking a bunch of rows as "processed" in a DB. That can't be the reason, can it? You add another set of print statements and deploy the code. It is indeed that this DB operation is taking 7-8 seconds for some API requests.

Story time. It's about cloud security failures and why good engineering practices matter, especially during the One to N journey. (A past colleague I met at a conf told me his story from a few years ago.) Here goes! As a team lead, you're woken up by an AWS billing alarm!

Any frontend wizards want to volunteer 5-7 hours per week in building a cool demo about queueing theory? Pls DM. You'll work with me in building this, open source. You can showcase this as your portfolio. Not a paid project/work at the moment. (I'm scratching my learning itch)

(SRE tip) Good SREs make heavy use of ssh_config and some of the lesser-known properties of ssh. Here are a few that I have personally found useful. 1. Host aliasing using wildcards 2. Configuring default user for ssh connection 3. Port forwarding and my personal favorite:

We at @One2nC are cooking some things related to GenAI and LLMOps. But not just your typical OpenAI API calls, but actually deploying and running LLMs on GPUs using Kubernetes. It's still a prototype right now, but we're building a resume parsing application using Ray and

Tech-wise, you choose something simple and boring - bash scripts and cron jobs. There's some pushback about using bash to do all this work, but you're sure it can work well (and be maintainable) This is your overall solution:

One of the rarest skills is the ability to have two contradictory opinions in your head and be able to reason and talk from both sides to reach a final conclusion.
