The Senior Engineer’s Decision Framework: RAG vs. Fine-Tuning For many engineering teams, the journey into Large Language Models (LLMs) often begins with a false sense of progression. We tr

There is a system I wrote years ago that is still running. I'd struggle to tell you what was hard about building it. That part took a few weeks, and weeks blur. What I remember is everything that came
When I started out as a frontend developer, every new feature felt like a completely different mountain to climb. A like button felt nothing like a shopping cart. A comment section felt completely unr
The End of 'Vibe Coding' For the past year, the industry has been enamored with 'vibe coding'—the act of throwing natural language prompts at an LLM and hoping the resulting code fits into
Spent the last few weeks building an HTTP/2 server from scratch in Go. Full RFC 9113 - framing, HPACK, stream state machine, flow control, TLS enforcement, 145/146 h2spec tests passing. The fun part
