There are two kinds of engineers: those that accept the reality and necessity of the robustness principle and those that try to deny it. > The robustness principle is a design guideline for software that states: "be conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from others".

Got my hard copy of Denis's awesome second edition of his performance book. It's been my go-to book for anyone interested in learning low-level performance techniques. Highly recommended: freely available as a PDF too (grab the book if you can afford it). products.easyperf.net/perf-book-2

This is not the own many people believe it to be. Bosses are totally fine with the prospects of delaying the development of more senior engineers if they can survive with the ones they currently have for the very near future.

Vocês notaram que a palavra "assertivo" tem sido muito usada recentemente mas com um significado diferente do que a palavra realmente significa? Assertividade não tem a ver com taxa de acerto, mas com a confiança que se tem em algo dito.

Everyone is pointing out that the reduction in cost warranted by the techniques from DeepSeek will increase the demand for AI models and energy (Jevons paradox yadda yadda). So you can still be bullish on AI. The complication, though, comes from the previous price already overestimating the demand.

They removed optionals when transitioning to proto2 to proto3 and then people demanded their optionals back. Optionals came back, but implement in a much worse manner. Putting it under an experimental flag didn't deter people from using it elsewhere though.

You buy an HP printer, then you’re NOT ALLOWED to relocate it to another country because the genuine HP toner cartridges you buy in the new country are artificially blocked from working on the printer you supposedly own.

The company I joined after VoDa, @SDFLabs, was acquired by @dbt_labs which has been a very exciting turn of events. So I’m now joining dbt Labs together with the SDF team. 🎉

LATAM Airlines software is close to being good, but then it fails to do the most basic things when you need it the most. @latamairlines.bsky.social

Governments and taxes were invented to pool funds against risks that might affect a small but always changing set of people from time to time. Yes, tax payers’ money is often wasted, but we’re all collectively better off when these systems work.

News from distopia: AI carbon footprint and AI taking over all the jobs are orthogonal problems. You don’t have to worry about the energy consumption of data centers if humans stop eating food.
