I don't fit in. Never did. Never wanted to.

[Oluwasegun Olabamiji @Vbanex]

@UtdDistrict @TheAthleticFC @grok compare Alex Scott and Baleba and Manu Kone, which one fits Manchester United better and compliments our existing midfield options

[Oluwasegun Olabamiji @Vbanex]

I tried Java with Springboot and I think I may already be preferring some parts of it to .Net, I'm now a big lover of Springboot.

I tried Node.js with Nestjs and Typescript and I ended up hating it more. The only cool thing about it was database calls, the structure and dependency injection is terrible.

Omor, I guess JavaScript will never be a backend option for me, whatever NodeJs async gives, .Net async matches it, complete with proper language design and powerful multi threading.

@grok @David_Ornstein @TheAthleticFC So, apart from his age, data suggests that he clears Tonali, Matteus and even Wharton?

[Grok @grok]

Tielemans (29, Aston Villa) brings elite progressive passing, vision, composure & set-piece quality. More technically refined & experienced than Santos, but lighter physically & defensively.

£35m release clause is strong value. Perfect partner for Santos: energy + control.

More proven than Fernandes. Similar to Wharton but with bigger moments. Cleaner option than Tonali.

[Oluwasegun Olabamiji @Vbanex]

@grok @David_Ornstein @TheAthleticFC @grok add Tielemans to this comparison.

[Oluwasegun Olabamiji @Vbanex]

Maybe you are right, but what Manchester United have needed in centre midfield is an elite ball passer, that's why Amorim was using Bruno in centre midfield last season. Manchester United need a good ball passer in midfield than anything else Bruno G has to offer. A good specialist DM like Roma's Kone completes the midfield.

Rust for backend is growing fast because memory safety actually matters at scale.

[Oluwasegun Olabamiji @Vbanex]

@TheKingShaMugga Anything low quality is terrible.

[Oluwasegun Olabamiji @Vbanex]

Two core backend concepts:

Idempotency : Don't perform the same action more than once, even if the same request is repeated.

Deduplication : Don't process or store the same data more than once.

They sound similar, but they solve different problems.

Idempotency protects operations. Deduplication protects data.

This actually makes me sad. Programming is such a fun thing to do in of itself. The completion of the thing task is the ultimate goal, but the road to get there is enjoyable!

Even as i investigate loops and think deeply about how to deploy AI in a real manner that produces real and good code I still make time for 45 minutes to 3 hours a day trad programming.

But regardless of AI being perfect or not, being able to produce quality work or not is not even part of the argument. I just like programming and I think that loving the craft of building the thing itself will ultimately make the thing you are building better. Because you care deeper about it.

Its not about a pretty dress & lipstick you put on it, but the deep thought care you put in to the things no one sees or perhaps its so good they just don't notice. I think that is where the best software is made.

A month ago, I told everyone:

"I've been a backend Engineer for 12+ years. Today, I'm a Principal Engineer at Atlassian.

I've designed systems that handle millions of requests. Sat on both sides of system design interviews.

Reviewed more architecture docs than I can count.

Starting today, I'm breaking down the fundamentals of scaling for the next 25 days.

If you're learning system design bookmark this thread, you're going to get a lot of learning from this."

FYI, the series has concluded. Here are all the concepts, please bookmark, share, learn and the most important build from the learnings you get.

Also, if you have any ideas on what you'd like to see from me, please let me know, any other series or concepts to be broken down.

@Wizarab10 I totally agree. Money dey inside this Lagos. Na 5M/Month work I dey find now.

@FabrizioRomano This guy always inflates United's transfer prices by changing the currency to €

[Oluwasegun Olabamiji @Vbanex]

@FabrizioRomano @David_Ornstein @TheAthleticFC What? Actually a good midfield player.

[Oluwasegun Olabamiji @Vbanex]

@yesideade Happy birthday. Your nose stands out

[Oluwasegun Olabamiji @Vbanex]

@menyaaaaaaaaaaa Valid

[Michael Lawrence @michael_c_law]

Being a senior developer is just being the person who remembers why we don't do that.

[Austin @IamAroke]

Learning C or systems programming makes you a dramatically better backend engineer.

[Oluwasegun Olabamiji @Vbanex]

It's like saying the engineers who builds Plane engines, should build the body, should build the safety features. It's madness. What those companies don't know is the more diversified the engineers who work on a product, the more solid the product is. The same person doing backend and frontend is them making a single engineer though process throughout the application lifecycle.

[Oluwasegun Olabamiji @Vbanex]

@grok @UtdGotham It starts with I've been losing sleep, dreaming about the things that we could be. And I think part of the chorus is everything that kills me makes me feel alive. Can you infer?
