The unexpected productivity boost of Rust

Lubeno's backend is100% Rust, providing strong safety guarantees for refactoring confidence. Rust's type checker catches async bugs, unlikeTypeScript. Rust excels in tracking lifetimes and borrowing rules.Zig, on the other hand, can be alarming with its compiler choices, such as overlooking typos in..

From Python to Go: Why We Rewrote Our Ingest Pipeline at Telemetry Harbor

Telemetry Harbor tossed out Python FastAPI and rebuilt its ingest pipeline inGo. The payoff?10x faster, no more CPU freakouts, and strongerdata integritythanks to strict typing. PostgreSQL is now the slowest link in the chain—not the app—which is the kind of bottleneck you actuallywant. Means the s..

Go is still not good

Go’s been catching flak for years, and the hits keep coming: stiff variable scoping, no destructor patterns, clunky error handling, and brittle build directives. Critics point out how Go’s design often blocks best practices like RAII and makes devs contort logic just to clean up resources or manage ..

Bash Explained: How the Most Popular Linux Shell Works

Bash isn't going anywhere. It's still the glue for CI/CD, cron jobs, and whatever janky monitoring stack someone duct-taped together at 2am. If automation runs the show, Bash is probably in the pit orchestra. It keeps things moving on Linux, old-school macOS (think pre-Catalina), and even WSL. Stil..

Lessons learned from building a sync-engine and reactivity system with SQLite

A dev ditched Electric + PGlite for a lean, browser-native sync setup built aroundWASM SQLite,JSON polling, andBroadcastChannel reactivity. It’s running inside a local-first notes app. Changes get logged with DB triggers. Sync state? Tracked by hand. Svelte stores update via lightweight polling, wi..

Developer's block

Overdoing “best practices” can kill momentum. Think endless tests, wall-to-wall docs, airtight CI, and coding rules rigid enough to snap. Sounds responsible—until it slows dev to a crawl. The piece argues for flipping that script. Start scrappy. Build fast. Save the polish for later. It’s how you d..

From GPT-2 to gpt-oss: Analyzing the Architectural Advances

OpenAI Returns to Openness. The company droppedgpt-oss-20Bandgpt-oss-120B—its first open-weight LLMs since GPT-2. The models pack a modern stack:Mixture-of-Experts,Grouped Query Attention,Sliding Window Attention, andSwiGLU. They're also lean. Thanks toMXFP4 quantization, 20B runs on a 16GB consume..

Are OpenAI and Anthropic Really Losing Money on Inference?

DeepSeek R1 running on H100s puts input-token costs near$0.003 per million—while output tokens still punch in north of$3. That’s a 1,000x spread. So if a job leans heavy on input—think code linting or parsing big docs—those margins stay fat, even with cautious compute. System shift:This lop-sided ..

Some thoughts on LLMs and Software Development

Most LLMs still play autocomplete sidekick. But seasoned devs? They get better results when the model reads and rewrites actual source files. That gap—between how LLMs are designed to work and how prosactuallyuse them—messes with survey data and muddies the picture on real gains in code quality and..

Combining GenAI & Agentic AI to build scalable, autonomous systems

Agentic AI doesn’t just crank out content—it takes the wheel. Where GenAI reacts, Agentic AI plans, perceives, and acts. Think less autocomplete, more autonomous ops. Hook them together, and you get a full-stack brain: content creation, real-time decisions, adaptive workflows, all learning as they ..

GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) is a deep learning model developed by OpenAI that has been pre-trained on massive amounts of text data using unsupervised learning techniques. GPT is designed to generate human-like text in response to prompts, and it is capable of performing a variety of natural language processing tasks, including language translation, summarization, and question-answering. The model is based on the transformer architecture, which allows it to handle long-range dependencies and generate coherent, fluent text. GPT has been used in a wide range of applications, including chatbots, language translation, and content generation.

GPT is a family of language models that have been trained on large amounts of text data using a technique called unsupervised learning. The model is pre-trained on a diverse range of text sources, including books, articles, and web pages, which allows it to capture a broad range of language patterns and styles. Once trained, GPT can be fine-tuned on specific tasks, such as language translation or question-answering, by providing it with task-specific data.

One of the key features of GPT is its ability to generate coherent and fluent text that is indistinguishable from human-generated text. This is achieved by training the model to predict the next word in a sentence given the previous words. GPT also uses a technique called attention, which allows it to focus on relevant parts of the input text when generating a response.

GPT has become increasingly popular in recent years, particularly in the field of natural language processing. The model has been used in a wide range of applications, including chatbots, content generation, and language translation. GPT has also been used to create AI-generated stories, poetry, and even music.
