Charity writes one of my favourite tech blogs, and this meta-post about the art and experience of writing resonates. Charity Majors: On Writing, Social Media, and Finding the Line of Embarrassment I can really relate to her experience of writing with ADHD (I don’t have a diagnosis, but I have my suspicions): Over the past […]

I am a reserved and ultimately shy individual, dealing with his own life is a way that best suits me. Recently, however, I have found a way, however small, to provide my own resistance with my skillset and resources. SciOp is a movement to backup government datasets and sights as they are targeted and removed for not toeing the party line. Since I have plenty of open space on my NAS, I’m dedicating a few terabytes to the effort.

I gave the opening keynote at the Regional Scrum Gathering Tokyo conference on January 8th, 2025. My topic was “The Best Product Engineering Org in the World:” How do you create the best product engineering organization in the world? James Shore had to face that question in his new role as Vice President of Engineering. In the end, it came down to six answers, and six new questions: People. We’d have the best people in the business,....

Jade Rubick interviewed me for his “Decoding Leadership” podcast recently. We had a delightful conversation about scaling organizations. We talked about using FaST for increasing the size of teams, the role of management, and scaling development practices using player-coaches. It’s an engaging conversation that’s chock-full of interesting ideas. Take a look.

It’s once again been another month since my last update. I hope you find some interesting reads in this issue, though! I’m trying to read more this year, and I’ve been working on a new section of the website for small book reviews inspired by Tom MacWright’s Reading section and Arne Bahlo’s Library . Building it has been my first real forray into “vibe coding” with Cursor. The experience has been pretty great, and I was able to get a s....

When testing a web application, you often want to make sure that a certain email would be sent — without actually sending it. How do you test that? Take something like a transactional email: a user signs up, resets their password, or completes a purchase — and your application needs to send a notification. You don’t care how the email gets sent — just that it was triggered correctly. The simplest implementation for the email-sending f....

We’re heading into the Easter weekend. I’ve been reading Bread and Wine: Readings for Lent and Easter as a way of engaging with the story and reflecting. I’ve loved the Advent book by the same team, and so I bought the Lent / Easter book, and tried to read it a few years ago, but […]

Throughout the countless years of research on this blog a common thread always comes up: Some features and toggles are often hidden under mountains of hubris that nobody understands. It could be because the software is under-or-badly documented, that it's 'too-flexible' and made to handle cases that never materialize, or just that people don't capt what they're dealing with and never bother looking under the hood. These software are crying ..

Three years ago I started a new job. My co-workers quickly learned that I really enjoy music. It became a habit of mine to share whatever I thought was musically interesting in my team's #Social channel. Here is a chronological ordering of all 287 music-related links that I've shared over the last three years. There are virtually no repeats, but a small handful of alternative renditions by different artists.

In this blog, we will quickly examine how you can integrate Moesif with your Heroku app to begin monetizing and analyzing your API traffic. Let’s kick things off by taking a brief look at both..

Recently I started using Simon Willison ’s CLI tool which is conveniently called llm . He introduced a particularly useful fragments feature in a recent version of the tool, that allows the user to provide extra information to the llm when working with long context models. Simon himself developed a llm-hacker-news plugin that fetches all the comments in a HackerNews discussion and provides that to llm as an extra context (i.e. a..

Studies serve for delight, for ornament, and for ability. Their chief use for delight, is in privateness and retiring; for ornament, is in discourse; and for ability, is in the judgment, and disposition of business. For expert men can execute, and perhaps judge of particulars, one by one; but the general counsels, and the plots and marshalling of affairs, come best, from those that are learned. To spend too much time in studies is sloth; to....

Recently I came across this neat compiler optimization to replace an integer division for r with an integer multiplication followed by shifting (and Adding/ORing if the multiplication result exceeds the word length) for a desired range of precision, represented through, for simplicity in the case of computers, an integer B , such that for any integer with magnitude n <= 1<< B , ( n * m )>> b == n / r ) holds for some positive integ....
