Computer graphics is where I found my love for software, math, and art. Needless to say, the first time I got to code lights in raw GL, my mind was illuminated :) Shameless plug: If you'd like to know how to build a simpler version of

For multi-tenant architecture, the following topics are always top priority for me: - Shared compute with tenant context passed via JWT - Data isolation by either physical separation (i.e. separate database) or logical separation (i.e. sepa

Awesome thread! 1: Don't seek the easy path; grow your strength/knowledge/etc. to seek the harder one. (credit: Bruce Lee) 2: Don't be lazy; prepare. 3: Before I say this, do I intend to improve the situation? If not, do

(Author here) Just did a quick search and I'm so delighted to hear from you. Strange that you considered yourself as "cranky." Really? I mean, really? I genuinely thought you were THE most helpful and approachable dev. You we

(Author here) Do you think that "figure it out" attitude helps make you become more present and alive? The moments I come out of my numb and autonomous ways of operating, I feel "alive," and it's often associated wi

(Author here) Love that point. Never considered the term `ingenious` I'm adding a note (as we speak) in the blog post to reflect this.

(Author here) I share your sentiment and it's something I often reflect upon. However, I'm also cautious of not attributing `genius` to events based on results. I feel that would limit my ability to look at situations and judge in

(Author here) Thank you for the reminder. I've heard of this show in so many different contexts and I've yet to come watch any of the episodes. If you start a channel, I'd follow along, btw.

(Author here) I should make this point more clear in my article. Once you realize how much extra materials are sold (e.g. hose length) to ensure it meets a wide range of customers, you realize you can do much to tailor the final result to y
