I just decided to challenge myself. And read all the "25 Computer Papers You Should Read!" from @bytebytego, and write a short post on my thoughts after each paper. Target timeline: 1 week for each paper and article.
Interesting article from Microsoft on how to use AI together with DevOps practices. "Agentic DevOps: Evolving software development with GitHub Copilot and Microsoft Azure."

Today, at Build we showed you how we are building the open agentic web. It is reshaping every layer of the stack, and our goal is to help every dev build apps and agents that empower people and orgs everywhere. Here are 5 big things we announced today:
Popular interview question: What happens when you type google .com into a browser?
1 - First up, you type the website address in the browser’s address bar.
2 - The browser checks its cache first. If there’s a cache miss, it must find the IP address.
3 - DNS lookup begins (think of it as looking up a phone number). The request goes through different DNS servers (root, TLD, and authoritative). Finally, the IP address is retrieved.
4 - Next, your browser initiates a TCP connection like a handshake. For example, in the case of HTTP 1.1, the client and server perform a TCP three-way handshake with SYN, SYN-ACK, and ACK messages.
5 - Once the handshake is successful, the browser makes an HTTP request to the server and the server responds with HTML, CSS, and JS files.
6 - Finally, the browser processes everything. It parses the HTML document and creates DOM and CSSOM trees.
7 - The browser executes the JavaScript and renders the page through various steps (tokenizer, parser, render tree, layout, and painting).
8 - Finally, the webpage appears on your screen.
Over to you: Which other step will you add to the overall process?
