I presented a talk at Monster Scale 2025, video is out now @scylladb.com #resilience #microservices #softwaredesign

Software design with resilience embraces the reality that failure is inevitable! We leverage #FlowMetrics (crucial for software delivery!) to measure & improve system resilience. Dive into the #InfoQ article by @mourjo.me for deeper insights! 🔗 bit.ly/3Y5WMyJ #Microservices #Performance #Metrics

Wrote an article on system agnostic resilience on @infoq.com check it out 👇

The Internet helped create Adam Smith’s ideal marketplace, in which buyers and sellers find each other. The Internet did not replace people. It made them more efficient. This is one of ten key ideas I took down from a memo Bill Gates wrote in 1999, all of which are still so relevant today:

A team that is overworked does not perform well - nor does a server that is overloaded. What lessons can performant software supply chain teach us about microservice design? I will speak about this topic at @scylladb.com Monster Scale Summit. Sign up today: www.scylladb.com/monster-scal...

I spent more hours learning in school but I learnt a lot more in college. A method I call "learning in sprints" combines the time-bounded structure of school education with the intuition and applicability of college education, and it works wonders.

A story about how I subconsciously started spending less time on my phone, how a privacy screen protector nudged me towards doing other – more productive – things than looking at reels on Youtube.

My mental model of the how the corporate business works gets better as I speak to more people. The best thing about this is, while I’m helping someone succeed I am really helping myself. mourjo.me/blog/musings...

The only reason I can't leave Twitter is because of the years of history I have with it -- like getting a retweet from Bruce Tate on a post I wrote. Sigh, on Twitter today, I just expect onlyfans accounts to react to my posts... I mean tweets.

@duckdb.org is a data engineering tool that is a must-have for software engineers. A data perspective is invaluable for a software engineer - from counting unique IDs in a CSV to parsing JSON logs to find failure patterns. Here are three compelling reasons for us developers to start using DuckDB

While at the surface writing does not seem to be a hard requirement of the software engineer’s job, structured thinking is. Writing helps convoluted, passing thoughts take a more permanent form, which my future self can come back to – ideas fleet, written artefacts remain. mourjo.me/blog/musings...
