the last paragraph was probably most important one here, and the lesson is If you truly want to enforce a validation then it has to be in the backend, the client side validation is just additional luxury if you can afford it. On a different

A hazardous system does not necessarily has to be complex. The article is a generalized list which makes it bit harder to reason with on this topic. A big part of the complexity gets added over the time as a part of failures, effort to intr

Its a good thing that the Author pointed out the caveat cause most companies/teams/people do not operate in this mode. Subtle in the details is a fact hidden that the author is able to manage what he wants to do, most people do no

I think this is more relevant reality. At Staff and Principal you have visibility into a lot of fires going around you. What helps is understanding the relative importance of what fire to douse and be at peace with the ones that you cannot

Overall a good collection on the complex systems, somehow it missed the part how complex system came into the existence in the first place itself. > Human expertise in complex systems is constantly changing I feel this is single most imp

Part of it is bit natural too, a human authored content has its own asymmetries to keep it interesting. LLM generated content is way too verbose and kind of lacks that factor. Nevertheless, it was interesting experiment, also a bit dangerou

This is a classical problem. In theory it works when majority of the players work together and move in same direction, however everyone being opportunistic here makes in infeasible from long term perspective. Europe itself is in a difficult

I have some good experience and I feel bad about state of these things too specially given that a lot of it could have been prevented. What you have here is not a single service, its a system compromised of hundreds of services, possibly wi

I am afraid thats now how infrastructure works from what I have seen. The number that really matters is QPS. For any system the QPS varies through out the day and across the week and months. Most design considerations easily absorb any 2X i

Not sure to be honest, from a machine perspective 2X should never be a big deal, unless 1.4 was the threshold or sweet state and no one thought too much about scale and architecture beyond that

These seem like a common pattern lately. I feel for it but again people are creative in making business out of others desperation.

I can for sure say that this kind of statement is exaggeration if not a blatant lie. It may work for PR but it gives a wrong impression/ideas. Now engineers should be ready to be questioned by their management for all the rewrites that

My experience is that it has mostly to do with the team structures within organization. SPAs allow you to create front end only team which can theoretically iterate faster with changes and demos. Btw concept of SPA is probably more than a d

Audit records are meant to capture subset of available information as per the product requirement and are enriched as per business needs. Going by that rationale the LLM Reasoning Traces do qualify as Audit Records. If additional enrichment

Companies are tracking token usage across the board. You are in trouble for too less or too many. Unfortunately the token usage is the only measurable thing for most folks so everyone is playing the game, otherwise how else would Anthropic

Unless you are an enterprise no one will be offering you such a guarantee. Even with the enterprise the bar has gone down a lot on expectations and compliance, every one is carrying/buying the SOC2 compliance certification these days.

Its definitely a hype phase and yes a lot of usage is questionable at the moment. To me the scary part is that some of the impacts/decisions would take years if not decades to be measurable and its possible that its a lost battle by th

One of the reasons why the fee is being considered is under the pressure of other payment providers who are loosing to UPI in Indian market. Its been believed to be one of the negotiation points by the US-India trade deals

I can go either way on this topic, however for the sake of engineering lets invert this problem a little bit and take it upstream. When your entire system is thread based (unique thread assigned to a given request) then even with pgBouncer

Personally I think its a poor choice to go with ID.me instead of login.gov when it comes to security. Primary reason is the completeness of the product and reliability. A security product does not needs all the bells and whistles and can be

I value the effort to standardize things and make them consistent, benefits everyone. I do appreciate you for taking lead here. However more than objection my worry is about the "PROTOCOL" key word being diluted. Imagine if everyo

Its probably a good idea to standardize things for everyones benefit and thats where the protocol key word kicks in. Tangentially on a personal note I find it offensive to use the word protocol when proposing a solution in the beginning at

My generalist reading of this (which is applicable in lot of cases) is that a dedicated flow is handling the house keeping part of the job, aka resetting the checkpoint after writing the WAL to disk. These one off house keepers are common i
