@yordisprieto @MoiTrades All architecture is design, but not all design is architecture. Architecture represents the set of significant design decisions that shape the form and function of a system, where significant is measured by cost of change.

The more clever your code, the harder it is to read. The easier it is for Bugs to infest it

As a software engineer, your job is not primarily to write code. Much of your work is more like that of a detective. « Why is this not work ? » « Why is this slow ? » « Why is this sometimes incorrect ? » If you have done any kind of real-world engineering, you know how true it

Microservices is the software industry’s most successful confidence scam. It convinces small teams that they are “thinking big” while systematically destroying their ability to move at all. It flatters ambition by weaponizing insecurity: if you’re not running a constellation of

There'll always be more emails in need of reply, more meetings to attend, and more updates to read. A person can fill the entire workweek with these tasks over and over again. But to stay sane and sharp, you must pay yourself first by doing the work that actually means something

The purpose of abstraction is to capture computational phenomena in a way that allows for operational and denotational reasoning in ways that keeps them coherent. If your "abstraction" does something else, it's not an abstraction, it's an artificial boundary. An obstruction.

In software, we mostly care about two metrics: whether the code does what we want and whether it does so efficiently. Often, efficiency isn’t critical. Keep building web services in Python—that’s fine. But when performance matters—and it eventually does—people sometimes assume

My main issue with Secure Boot: Microsoft is the Certificate Authority and even Linux bootloaders are signed via it in almost every case I've seen.

Once you do, you'll realize that one person's "linux bs" is your fun adventure learning more about Linux and how computers actually work. I guarantee you that this is not time wasted. The entire internet runs on Linux! You'd do well to study.

A good tech adventure shows you new aesthetics, teaches you new tools, and endows you with new purpose.

Omarchy is ready! Hyprland + Arch have never been so easy. Everything comes preconfigured, preinstalled, and with six beautiful themes in the box. This is the smoothest, most pleasant operating system I've ever had under my fingers. https://t.co/2Bb7BOAEUl

The hardest thing to do as a Software Engineer, Is noticing shitty code and deciding to leave it shitty.

Most databases use B+ Trees to hold the data, but they suffer from a major limitation B-trees are designed to keep data sorted and organized, which makes them ideal for storage engines that require predictable read latencies and range lookups, but they become inefficient when

Retention is the worst way to measure understanding. Whenever you are reading a new concept, do not optimize to remember and retain it word by word; instead, focus on understanding the underlying pattern of the problem and how the approach solved it. This is true when you are

The only durable moat in technology is relentless execution

Simplicity isn't the lack of complexity; it's the clarity of understanding.

Part of the reason for my 3hr general audience LLM intro video is I hope to inspire others to make equivalents in their own domains of expertise, as I’d love to watch them.

It’s amazing what you can learn from device forensics. They won’t get away with their crimes.

The sweet irony of DeepSeek is that it was human grit and ingenuity that gave them the edge, not the number of machines that they could muster. If you’re in technology, your #1 job remains to recruit the smartest and most determined people in the world.

It’s like most people never heard of project based learning, there’s a github repository on how to make anything without knowing anything https://t.co/ZxmVm81oqL
