Got the cover design for the second edition of DDIA from the publisher. Now just need to finish the effin’ manuscript…
Book cover for Designing Data-Intensive Applications, 2nd edition, by Martin Kleppmann and Chris Riccomini. It has a coloured picture of a jumping Indian Wild Boar (similar to the first edition, but not identical).

"I don’t need an agent, I want to maintain my own agency." "Can we get back to building a web where people have agency instead of inhuman agents?" This ties into much of what I was thinking about earlier today. Pondering what kind of web *do* we want? www.miriamsuzanne.com/2025/02/12/t...

If you change your code and it starts working 10 times faster, you started doing something clever. If you change your code and it runs a hundred times faster, you stopped doing something stupid.

Reluctantly spent part of the weekend trying to interpret the DeepSeek R1 manic panic happening on the hell site. Took a minute, but wrote myself notes to clarify the basics: maggieappleton.com/2025-01-deep... TLDR; a cheaper, higher-quality, open-source reasoning model for everyone. Net good.

You see, it turns out observability is pretty useless because it doesn’t do anything. Yet... Somehow? It’s this thing that we’ve been able to grow into a multi billion dollar industry composed entirely out of “get a bunch of data, and then…” That’s it?? hazelweakly.me/blog/the-fut...

This obituary for the award-winning costume designer of Peaky Blinders, Stephanie Collie, is a wonderful tribute to her research process and skill. It’s easy to criticise costumes in TV historical dramas, but historical inaccuracies are rarely errors, they’re often storytelling choices

Binary vector embeddings are so cool
Vector embeddings by themselves are pretty neat. Binary quantized vector embeddings are extra impressive. In short, they can retain 95+% retrieval accuracy with 32x compression 🤯.

With a fully remote team of just 20 employees, Bluesky has surpassed 20 million users in its first year since opening to the public and is stealing thunder from rivals hundreds of times its size. At a time when conventional wisdom among bosses is that workers must be in-person to be productive.
