- SSL/TLS Strong Encryption: FAQ: Neat stuff in here about mtls, generating server certs, troubleshooting, and tls related configuration bits
- Optimizing Our E2E Pipeline: Skip frontend build if there’s no change in a commit and just used artifacts from a previous build
- A Clean Approach to Process Optimization: Do things seemingly out of order, do things lazily or not at all, and sometimes it makes sense to break up a workflow into smaller ones (in the example of customer environments in the article there was a base workflow every every customer needed and customizations which varied and that split helped make their process more efficient)
- 30 Minutes With MCP and flyctl: Simple example of how an mcp server running locally with access to a cloud host provider can be used to investigate a server problem
- Guiding an LLM for Robust Java ByteBuffer Code: Conversation to develop a java class. The developer has to correct the generated code and keep prompt the llm until the code is correct.
- Apache Iceberg: What It Is and Why Everyone’s Talking About It: Analytics data in object storage with a bunch of metadata about what’s stored and how sitting as layers above that (parquet - columnar data storage format, manifest files, metadata, catalog)
- What Can We Learn from the Code in Git’s Initial Commit?: Git started out so small but what an impact it’s had on my work. Beautiful, readable bit of code. We’re all celebrating Git’s 20th anniversay this year. Happy to have stumbled on this post where someone looks at the very first commit ever made to git and talks through it … :)
