The great SQLite rewrite

Turso just dropped the alpha of itsRust-based SQLite rethink—rewritten from scratch to handle today’s mess:async APIs,built-in vector search, and actualconcurrent writes. Forget the old SQLite playbook. Turso’s version leans into modularity, bakes in deterministic tests, and still aims for SQLite-l..

Deeper theories of program design

A sharp teardown ofWindows vs. Unix file deletion semanticslands on this: Windows leans on read-write locks; Unix rolls with a looser, non-blocking vibe—more likeweakly-isolated DB transactions. It trades consistency for concurrency, dodging locks even if it means the rules get fuzzy. The post zoom..

Git Branching Strategies: A Comprehensive Guide

This guide breaks down the major Git branching strategies—GitFlow,GitHub Flow,GitLab Flow,Trunk-Based Development, and a few others that still show up in wild repos. Each one gets sized up by structure, use case, and trade-offs. Think: how big the team is, how fast releases go out, and how people l..

Ship tools as standalone static binaries

OpenAI’s rewritingCodexinRust, ditching the oldTypeScriptversion. Why? To ship it as a single static binary—no messy installs, no glue code juggling. Just run. Rust cuts down runtime failures, trims the attack surface, and kills off toolchain sprawl. Less fragility. More control. System shift:Team..

Why I chose OCaml as my primary language

OCaml’s grown up. Multicore support is in. So are user-defined effects. Under the hood, affine types, staged metaprogramming, and effect typing are steering it toward resource-safe programming—with actual thrust. Its type system still slaps: powerful modules, GADTs, algebraic types, and now first-c..

Lessons from scaling PostgreSQL queues to 100K events

RudderStack crankedPostgreSQLup to100K events/secas a queuing engine. The secret sauce: tight tuning of job partitioning, smarter indexing, tuned VACUUM timing, and compaction that didn't choke. Recursive CTEs stood in for loose index scans. Caching cut I/O repeats. They ditched byte slices to side..

AI Agents and Test Suites: Lessons from the Trenches

AI agents can help wrangletest suite maintenance—if you treat them likejunior devs. That means tight prompts, clear boundaries, and someone keeping an eye on them. Teams get better results when they feed agents sharp context and task them with small, scoped jobs instead of vague laundry lists...

Is GPT-5 really worse than GPT-4o? Ars puts them to the test.

OpenAI walked back its latest release after users flaggedGPT-5for sounding flat, hallucinating more, and losing creative spark. The fix? Rolling back to the friendlierGPT-4o. Head-to-head tests told a nuanced story:GPT-5nailed accuracy and structure across most prompts. But when the task called for..

BAO, c’est les chasseurs Tech et Produit qui apportent de la transparence au recrutement. Depuis Paris et Bordeaux, ils ont fait du monde startup leur terrain de jeu en décidant de ne travailler que sur très peu de postes à la fois. Pourquoi ? Parce qu’on voit la chasse comme un sprint dans lequel on travaille main dans la main avec nos clients : nous donnons un maximum de visibilité et de conseil à nos startups partenaires.

En créant BAO, en 2019, Baptiste et Lucas ont décidé de mettre l’écoute au cƓur de leur travail. Curiosité, sourire et empathie sont le seul trait commun à toute l’équipe !

Le bouche-à-oreille est au centre de leur manière de chasser : chaque recruteur entretient son réseau, conscient que la proximité amène à de belles rencontres.
Travailler chez BAO c’est avoir la volonté de rencontrer des personnes aux parcours passionnants et de tisser des liens avec eux. Mais c’est aussi gagner en autonomie tout en profitant d’une équipe dans laquelle les membres s’encouragent mutuellement.

C'est de la vente sans avoir à être agressif, des évolutions rapides au sein d’un écosystème passionnant et un environnement de travail ambitieux sans se prendre trop au sérieux.
