It‘s been a while since I‘ve written any blog posts. I‘ve been heads down on getting my blogging scripts updated the past 2 months. Quite a journey into writing CLIs, but I reached a milestone yesterday, I was able to successfully write a post using the new system. Still some things to figure out, but it means a much more streamlined process from writing words, to getting them onto the website, all via Github, with individual PRs for ea..

Cribsheet: A Data-Driven Guide to Better, More Relaxed Parenting, from Birth to Preschool . By Emily Oster, PhD. 326 pages. Mommy forums are full of arguments about what is right and wrong for your child. What should your policy be for screen time? What’s the best way to approach potty training? Most of these arguments are based around ancedata. Worse, they often come with a lot of judgment attached to them. If you sleep train your baby,....

Version Your Vectors - Index Versioning as the Missing Layer in RAG Observability and Compliance

Your RAG answered correctly yesterday. Today, it contradicts itself. Nothing obvious changed — except the index. Retrieval drift is silent, cumulative, and rarely audited. This piece explains how to make it observable and reproducible - what must be versioned beyond vectors, how to enable point-in-time reconstruction, and when lightweight metadata is enough. Includes practical tracing patterns, replay strategies, and a risk-based decision g..

NVIDIA artificially restricts peer-to-peer (P2P) GPU communication to their enterprise cards. Turns out this is a software limitation, not a hardware one. I patched my drivers to remove it, hacked vLLM to take advantage of it, and got a 15-50% throughput improvement running Qwen 3.5 35b on dual RTX 3090s.

For years, tracking anime was just part of my routine. I used MyAnimeList because it worked well enough, and I never thought much about it. It was just something I did after every episode. But over time, the way I watched anime changed. The tools I used did not change with me. I started to feel a disconnect. From backlog to seasons When I first got into anime, there was always a backlog.

Navigating Change The way we interact with software is shifting. Instead of clicking through web interfaces and learning different UIs for each system, some people are moving toward natural language as the interface - telling an AI what they want done, and it handles the task completion for them. This shift is happening now, but there's been a missing piece: how does the AI actually connect to and control those systems? MCP Defined MC....

CPU-based autoscaling is a lie for most web services. There, I said it. I spent a painful week last year watching an HPA scale our API pods from 3 to 15 based on CPU utilization. The dashboards looked great — CPU was being “managed.” Meanwhile, the service was falling over because every single one of those 15 pods was fighting over a connection pool limited to 50 database connections. More pods made the problem worse. We were autoscaling ..

Another entry in the Toy Optimizer series . It’s hard to get compiler optimizers right. Even if you build up a painstaking test suite by hand, you will likely miss corner cases, especially corner cases at the interactions of multiple components or multiple optimization passes. I wanted to see if I could write a fuzzer to catch some of these bugs automatically. But a fuzzer alone isn’t much use without some correctness oracle—in this c....

I built a handful of skills packaged as a Claude Code plugin at github.com/xenodium/emacs-skills . The skills use emacsclient --eval under the hood to bridge....

I quit my job at EnterpriseDB hacking on PostgreSQL products last month to start a company researching and writing about software infrastructure. I believe there is space for analysis that is more focused on code than TechCrunch or The Register, more open to covering corporate software development than LWN.net, and (as much as I love some of these folks) less biased than VCs writing about their own investments. I believe that more than ev....
