Instagram's backend is a Django monolith "with several million lines of code and a few thousand Django endpoints" as of 2019, and the same architecture was used for Threads! They now run Django on a JIT-enabled fork of CPytho

To this point, if you're releasing minor-version changelogs, expect them to be posted on sites like HN, and make sure you link at the top of the post to the announcement of the latest major release, for those who might have missed it!

Even if you take the headline at face value (and IMO it's rather unfair)... the incredible saving grace of LLMs is that you have a plurality of BS machines, with different flavors of BS, whose outputs can be wired together. Sure, the f

When I look at an initiative like BlastDoor, I'm struck by how unlikely it is that every other messaging app makes a similar investment on every platform. Does WhatsApp have a similar architecture? Has the Gmail app rewritten all its i
