โผ๏ธ Chelsea have been told Rayo Vallecano will not sell full-back Pep Chavarria unless his release clause, now worth ยฃ42.4m, is met.
The Blues saw an opening ยฃ15m bid rejected. They have since indicated they are prepared to increase their offer to ยฃ21.2m, although that remains some way short of Rayo's valuation.

This is how my lovely wife and I practice our marriage.
I don't know of any other marriage that would produce a better result than this one.
You Gen Zs need proper mentorship and guidance.
Your iberibe is too much.
Someone will soon come under this to give AI comment.
End.
Network Engineering isnโt deadโitโs the backbone of everything we do. In my latest post, I break down why the CCNA is still worth it and share free resources to help you get certified.

This current tech dispensation needs more people who truly understand systems design.
Backend devs, move beyond being just โinstruction-based developersโ and start making architectural decisions.
Think deeply about trade-offs, scalability, consistency, reliability, bottlenecks, fault tolerance, and system boundaries.
Here are 3 system design books I genuinely believe every backend engineer should read and properly understand:
โข Designing Data-Intensive Applications by Martin
โข System Design Interview: An Insiderโs Guide by Alex Xu
โข Fundamentals of Software Architecture by Mark Richards & Neal Ford
Before you pay for any phone, take 5 minutes and check this. Get the IMEI, then verify it online to confirm itโs not blacklisted or stolen.
That small check can save you from a big problem later.
So far we have ๐
SaaS (Software as a Service)
PaaS (Platform as a Service)
IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service)
FaaS (Function as a Service )
BaaS (Backend as a Service)
CaaS (Containers as a Service)
KaaS (Kubernetes as a Service)
DBaaS (Database as a Service)
STaaS (Storage as a Service)
NaaS (Network as a Service)
DRaaS (Disaster Recovery as a Service)
DaaS (Desktop as a Service)
VDIaaS (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure as a Service)
DaaS (Data as a Service)
AaaS (AI as a Service)
MLaaS (Machine Learning as a Service)
DLaaS (Deep Learning as a Service)
BIaaS (Business Intelligence as a Service)
Did I miss any?
Then databases.
not โI know MongoDB or Postgres.โ
understand:
indexing
normalization
transactions
isolation levels and locking
This is where most systems break.
If you are learning backend now, stop starting with frameworks.
start with:
1. HTTP and how requests actually move
2. Request, response lifecycle
3. Status codes and what they actually mean
Honestly, Iโll advise we all watch this video to the end. This short, less than 6-minute video explains these system design concepts in a very clean way.
Client-server architecture, load balancing, caching, database design, microservices, circuit breakers, database replication, sharding, trade-offs, security, observability, CI/CD, and fault tolerance.
Well, I am him. He is me ๐
I am always paying attention to everything.
There was a day, after a demo of an application they were pushing toward MVP, the question came up: โAnyone got any contributions or highlights?โ
Silence.
In my head, I was thinking, are you guys not seeing what Iโm seeing?
Eventually, the CEO said, โSteve, anything? You always have something to say.โ
I spoke up and highlighted a very poor user experience in the app, especially around the transactions page. And once I pointed it out, it made sense to everyone.
That entire day was redirected to the UI team to redesign the transactions flow, and the frontend team had to implement the changes.
Iโm pretty sure they hated me that day ๐
