A fear I have about writing these lessons down is that I'll internalize them too hard and be less malleable in the future. But also it enabled me to crystalize my thoughts and articulate them. So I guess I just have to try and not treat these thoughts as infallible. Life's work

seems like people spend hundreds of hours worrying about waterfalls, but don't spend ten hours improving their querying latency. with a half decently designed architecture you could waterfall six times before being as slow as your competitor.

really been enjoying writing, and it's starting to flow. it's still a mess, but I can see the improvements in my structure and framing and I'm getting a little more ambitious in tone. finding a voice and manifesting writing about the things I always wanted to, but didn't know how. excited.

The Hydration Problem - Understanding React Server Components through the lens of hydration and composition. saewitz.com/the-hydratio...

Been trying to track down an obscene memory leak in my very simple next.js RSC app and it turns out it was a node v20 fetch memory leak. Had nothing to do with next.js. Something about node + fetch has always been messy, every other day there's another issue.

the things you've learned that are obvious to you are often not to everyone. we feel when we reach a tower, everyone else is already there and we're just arriving. and remember, that tower is not omnipresent, it exists only from a few perspectives.
