Every tool you use asks you to log in before it does anything useful. Email, password, verify your inbox, pick a plan, maybe a credit card "just for verification". By the time you've done all of that, the idea you opened the tab for has already coole...

Last week I watched my site decide that a guy in New Jersey deserved an email about a Sara Landry show in Brooklyn, while another subscriber in Los Angeles heard nothing. That decision took about forty milliseconds, involved a geocoding API, a Havers...

A memory leak occurs when a computer program incorrectly manages memory allocations, failing to release memory that is no longer needed. Essentially, your application asks for RAM from the system but forgets to give it back, eventually causing the sy...

Sometimes, the hardest part of building software isn't writing the code. It's figuring out what actually needs to be built. Imagine someone asks you to create a simple application for managing daily expenses. You open your editor, start thinking abo...

These five sectors are a long way apart and their public rules say nothing to each other. But what they record inside has almost the same shape. A fuel station has three books. What comes in, what goes out and what is left should be one book, but th...

Tuesday coding tips are super short posts about various tidbits mainly from C++, but also from other programming languages I use. You can also follow the #TuesdayCodingTips hashtag on Mastodon and Linkedin. Mutability in Python is a hidden footgun f...

A dealer uploads a CSV with 500 rows. Each row is a SIM card that has to be activated on one of several carrier APIs, and each activation costs real wholesale money that you cannot get back if the row was bad. That was the shape of the bulk activatio...

Replication, failover, graceful shutdown, autoscaling and alerting usually arrive as managed services. Inside a bank, you build them from Kubernetes, an operator or two and a lot of small decisions. Here is how each one works, with the code. Field n...

An S3 bucket full of Parquet files is not a table. Iceberg turns it into one. Here is what happens under the hood, the traps we fell into and the settings that made our queries faster and our bill smaller. Field notes from running Iceberg tables for...
