I still get maybe ~2 folks a month ask for advice, and I am always happy to chat. I wish […]

There are a lot of cool features in my new blogging tool. Here are some of the top of my head: Render anything, from individual posts to full blown websites. Integrates with the writing tools you already use today. Templates for pages but also file paths, for maximum flexibility. Automatically generate frontmatter for your markdown files. It‘s agnostic so you can use any template rendering engine. Supports partials and cross engine callin....

When I write about things like storing food or medication in case of disaster , one common response I get is that it doesn't matter: society will break down, and people who are stronger than you will take your stuff. This seemed plausible at first, but it's actually way off. Looking at past disasters, people mostly fall somewhere on a "kind and supportive" to "keep to themselves" spectrum. When there is looting it's typically dir....

When we use the internet, we're entrusting tech companies with some of our most private information. These companies have promised they'll keep our data safe. But what happens when the government comes knocking at their doors? In April 2025, ICE sent Google an administrative subpoena requesting the data of Amandla Thomas-Johnson, a Ph.D. candidate studying in the U.S. on a student visa. The next month, Google gave Thomas-Johnson's info....

I’ve been running Kubernetes in production for years now, and there’s a specific kind of pain that only hits you once you cross the threshold from “a couple of clusters” to “wait, how many do we have again?” That threshold, for me, was eight clusters. Eight clusters across three cloud providers and two on-prem data centers. And every single one of them had drifted into its own little snowflake. This isn’t a theoretical post. I’m going to ..

Attention is a computational primitive at the core of modern language models, allowing internal representations to reference and influence each other. It’s how these models handle sequential data in the first place.

Applied research teams slow down not because they lack good ideas but because of simpler issues: unclear metrics, confusing experiment design, poor iteration loops, and vague takeaways. I've been working on applied research 1 in some form for my entire career so far. These are notes for early-career quants, ML researchers, and other applied computer scientists trying to improve their research process inside an organization. Continuously....

If you’ve read our earlier post, you already know about CHAOS—the server-driven UI (SDUI) framework we built at Yelp that powers our dynamic views. Until now, we’ve explored its architecture, backend implementation, and component model. In this post, we’ll dive into how we integrated CHAOS with Yelp’s cross-platform design system, Cookbook, and the auto-generated bridge library, Konbini. Introduction to Cookbook At Yelp, we support two majo..

Looking back at this milestone video, it's the audience question towards the end I liked most: "are you happy"? Charlotte and I have chosen a path that's non-traditional, intense and at times, pretty stressful. There's no clear delineation of when work
