It's a new year again, and after being busy throughout 2024, I decided to post my first blog post at the beginning of the year — of course, after parked for a few months in draft 🙂

Please let me know what you think.

What is Port Forwarding, a.k.a. Port Mapping?

If you ran into this fancy term but were too afraid to ask, Port Forwarding is just a way to say that data addressed to one socket is redirected to another by an intermediary (e.g., a network router, a proxy process, or the kernel).

Tiktok's Monolith paper is a must read.

It shows that you don't need a social graph to make an addictive product if you nail real-time recommendations that update AS each user scrolls.

Very few great applied CS papers exist and even fewer that made a 1B+ user product!

Anthropic just dropped an insane new paper.

AI models can "fake alignment" - pretending to follow training rules during training but reverting to their original behaviors when deployed!

Unpopular opinion, belajar itu malah bisa menjadi bentuk distraksi dan penundaan.

Belajar dalam bentuk baca buku, video, course, bootcamp dll

Belajar menjadi tepat ketika dia lahir dari kebutuhanmu untuk planning dan evaluasi, selain itu you're likely wasting your time.

I learned that Bue Sky uses one SQLite database per user, as God intended. Where can I read more about its high level architecture?

Interviewer:
Invert this binary tree

Junior dev:
Here's the algorithm I memorized

Experienced dev:
Let me find a library for that

Senior dev:
Does inverting the tree align with our core business objectives?

[Charity Majors @mipsytipsy]

Another way of looking at this is: if the real product of any software engineering team is shared understanding,

if the speed of sense-making is a core limiting factor on the speed of delivery,

then strong, futureproof engineering teams are 🌸continuous learning machines🌸
