Feature flags are like bloom filters. They make 98 out of 100 situations better and they make the other 2 worse. When performance is the issue that’s usually fine. When reliability is the issue, that’s not sufficient. If you work on fifty f

All the competition now is VC dollars. And the last round that OpenAI and Anthropic landed will probably be their last at favorable rates. Oxide just closed a funding round they took solely to be able to guarantee their longevity as a vendo

Clarifying: ‘fn()’ is the exact same function call in both cases. Only the benchmark itself was async versus sync. Because the case under test is what’s the cost of making an async api when 90% of the calls are sync? And the answer is a lot

Essentially for loop of 10k iterations comparing `fn()` versus `await fn()` fed into a microbenchmark tool, with some fiddling to detect if elimination was happening or ordering was changing things. I was bumping into PRs trying to eliminat

Any await runs the logic that attempts to release the main message pump to check for other tasks or incoming IO events. And it looks like that takes around 90 instructions to loop back around to running the next line of the code, when the p

Things most people don’t know about Illinois is that while the Mason Dixon line officially goes around the bottom of the state, philosophically it cuts through the middle. Peoria is maybe thirty miles north of the rednecks. Add that he was
