Been diving into monorepos lately and loving it! I will start building a full-stack app with @expo and @convex , all in one repo with shared code between web and mobile.

I’m currently stuck at Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH), Surgical Ward 4C, and I honestly don’t know what else to do.
The SHA officer handling discharges at the 4D office is very rude, corrupt, and abusive.
Since yesterday, I’ve been waiting in line to have my child discharged.
This officer keeps ignoring the queue and only attends to people she personally calls aside - people she seems to know.
We’ve been here since yesterday, yet she just walks out, brings in others, processes them fast, and leaves the rest of us stranded.
When I politely told her that what she was doing was unfair, she got angry, banged her office door, and later called me in.
Inside, she fined me Ksh 2,070, saying my baby overstayed an extra day after discharge.
I immediately rushed to Malipo Center downstairs and paid the amount, but when I came back, she said she wouldn’t discharge my baby unless I wrote an apology letter to her, stamped by the area Chief!
I never insulted her or caused a scene - I only questioned her favoritism and suspicious behavior. Right now, my baby is being held at KNH just because I refused to bow to corruption and humiliation.
I’m pleading for help. Can the relevant authorities please intervene?
This is unfair, and no parent should go through this kind of frustration when their child is in hospital.

1/ Why LSM trees?
Traditional B-trees optimize for READS but suffer on WRITES (random I/O). LSM trees flip this: optimize WRITES by converting random I/O → sequential I/O. Result: 10-100x better write throughput. Perfect for logs, metrics, time-series data.

I used to talk about my education, experience, and previous companies - just reading out my resume. What a waste of a golden opportunity!
One day, a friend who was interviewing candidates for his team shared something interesting.
𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘴 𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘶𝘵? 𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘸𝘤𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘶𝘮𝘦.
I started experimenting with different approaches. After many trials and errors, I found what works best.
Now when interviewers ask me to talk about myself, I start with a brief introduction and move to my technical journey:
"I have 11 years of experience, with deep expertise in cloud infrastructure and automation. I've built complex solutions across AWS and GCP, specializing in Kubernetes and Infrastructure as Code.
I've successfully implemented large-scale migrations, like automating RDS migrations using Python and PGSync, reducing downtime by 60%. I've built and managed multi-environment EKS clusters using custom Terraform modules, supporting hundreds of microservices.
Recently, I've focused on DevSecOps, implementing comprehensive security scanning using GitHub Advanced Security suite, CodeQL, and Dependabot. I've also built automated monitoring solutions using Grafana and Prometheus that helped detect critical issues before they impacted users."
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀.
The interviewer starts asking questions about Kubernetes, cloud migrations, and security implementations - all areas where I excel!
Instead of getting random questions, I get to talk about my strengths for most of the interview.
Even when they ask about areas I'm not familiar with, I confidently say: "While I haven't worked extensively with that technology, I'm very interested in learning it. My experience with similar tools would help me pick it up quickly."

Your "𝗧𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗺𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳" response sets the tone for the entire interview. Use it wisely.
@_lennoxomondi I'd use a CDN, WAF, and virtual waiting room to manage surges, with an API gateway directing traffic to stateless services, scaled horizontally. Redis to ensure atomic seat locks, then Postgres to handles orders/payments, and an event bus like kafka to finalize sales reliably.
